Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. (Disclaimer: this is - as of September 2nd, 2023 - basically a history of Eddenarah, but I'm trying to touch base on everything else too) == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machranal, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorlast mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and after the creation of the Homaric Pact, Eddenarah didn't really stand a chance. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish was the Homaric Pact (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Homaric Pact Nations (HPN) just to say "HA!" The HPN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks.

The HPN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The HPN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the HPN's capital. The HPN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The HPN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == I have to actually get back to my life now so I'll finish this tomorrow == d951186afc8f3ccac68e58f721655c214a1e6e91 29 28 2023-09-04T19:14:59Z BellatriX 4 wikitext text/x-wiki They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya.

The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and after the creation of the Homaric Pact, Eddenarah didn't really stand a chance. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish was the Homaric Pact (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Homaric Pact Nations (HPN) just to say "HA!" The HPN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The HPN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the HPN's capital. The HPN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The HPN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The HPN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the HPN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the HPN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the HPN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the HPN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the HPN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == Seseco and its Associated Problems == Kefon and Agdev - it's up to you guys to write this one. == The Tressene Wars == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for.

Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. (Disclaimer: this is - as of September 4th, 2023 - basically a history of Eddenarah, but I'm trying to touch base on everything else too) == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time.

The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silenco (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silenco eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == To be continued either later or tomorrow == f5adfc0134baf8e7fd78b8201f8c1f4fe3a3e552 32 31 2023-09-04T20:12:43Z Agdev(Toasters) 2 /* Seseco and its Associated Problems */ wikitext text/x-wiki They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya.

The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Homaric Pact Nations (HPN) just to say "HA!" The HPN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The HPN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the HPN's capital. The HPN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The HPN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The HPN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the HPN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the HPN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the HPN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the HPN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the HPN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == Seseco and its Associated Problems == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were (PLACEHOLDER NORREIK) and the [[Verst Empire]]. The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chkyeb]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. this is a WIP == The Tressene Wars == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silenco (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silenco eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == To be continued either later or tomorrow == 3ca8b68da69025f8bfe7cc42f5e9a5c66c3edd43 33 32 2023-09-04T20:13:06Z Agdev(Toasters) 2 /* Seseco and its Associated Problems */ wikitext text/x-wiki They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya. Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. (Disclaimer: this is - as of September 4th, 2023 - basically a history of Eddenarah, but I'm trying to touch base on everything else too) == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and after the creation of the Homaric Pact, Eddenarah didn't really stand a chance. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish was the Homaric Pact (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Homaric Pact Nations (HPN) just to say "HA!"

Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war.

The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and after the creation of the Homaric Pact, Eddenarah didn't really stand a chance. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish was the Homaric Pact (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Homaric Pact Nations (HPN) just to say "HA!" The HPN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The HPN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the HPN's capital. The HPN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The HPN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The HPN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the HPN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the HPN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the HPN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the HPN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the HPN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == Seseco and its Associated Problems == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chkyeb]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. this is a WIP == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the HPN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: Seseco and its Associated Problems). The HPN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame, which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. dc5743c799057166e3411148543d719006254621 45 43 2023-09-05T17:59:51Z Agdev(Toasters) 2 /* Seseco and its Associated Problems */ wikitext text/x-wiki They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya. Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. (Disclaimer: this is - as of September 4th, 2023 - basically a history of Eddenarah, but I'm trying to touch base on everything else too) == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people.

This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan.

The HPN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War.

The HPN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The HPN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the HPN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem."

The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. Meanwhile, on the west (1530): The west was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Lets start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to as the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting eachother. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day]] == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the HPN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: Seseco and its Associated Problems). The HPN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame, which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. 0e3744e9ba8cafefa1074a108db2714a7ecfbfb7 46 45 2023-09-05T18:00:48Z Agdev(Toasters) 2 /* Seseco and its Associated Problems */ wikitext text/x-wiki They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya. Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. (Disclaimer: this is - as of September 4th, 2023 - basically a history of Eddenarah, but I'm trying to touch base on everything else too) == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and after the creation of the Homaric Pact, Eddenarah didn't really stand a chance. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish was the Homaric Pact (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Homaric Pact Nations (HPN) just to say "HA!" The HPN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The HPN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the HPN's capital. The HPN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The HPN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The HPN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the HPN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the HPN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the HPN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the HPN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the HPN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == Seseco and its Associated Problems == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chkyeb]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. Meanwhile, on the west (1530): The west was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Lets start with the city state.

Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to as the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains.

Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island.

The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Homaric Pact Nations (HPN) just to say "HA!" The HPN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The HPN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the HPN's capital. The HPN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The HPN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The HPN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the HPN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the HPN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the HPN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the HPN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the HPN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chkyeb]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the west (1530): The west was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Lets start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to as the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting eachother. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique en Letoque Jenois ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. This is quite a WIP == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the HPN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The HPN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame, which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. d94e1b47dee89edb434e518bad3704a3e0fbdbab 49 47 2023-09-05T20:03:55Z Agdev(Toasters) 2 /* South Seseco */ wikitext text/x-wiki They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya. Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. (Disclaimer: this is - as of September 4th, 2023 - basically a history of Eddenarah, but I'm trying to touch base on everything else too) == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and after the creation of the Homaric Pact, Eddenarah didn't really stand a chance. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish was the Homaric Pact (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it).

The HPN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks.

Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting eachother. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique en Letoque Jenois ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. This is quite a WIP == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the HPN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The HPN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame, which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. e684e671b87972a7386cd70df53407287b3a3d4f 50 49 2023-09-05T20:56:49Z BellatriX 4 war wikitext text/x-wiki They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya. Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. (Disclaimer: this is - as of September 4th, 2023 - basically a history of Eddenarah, but I'm trying to touch base on everything else too) == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and after the creation of the Homaric Pact, Eddenarah didn't really stand a chance. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish was the Homaric Pact (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Homaric Pact Nations (HPN) just to say "HA!" The HPN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The HPN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the HPN's capital. The HPN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The HPN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The HPN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the HPN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the HPN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the HPN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the HPN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the HPN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chkyeb]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the west (1530): The west was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Lets start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting eachother. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique en Letoque Jenois ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. This is quite a WIP == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the HPN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there.

The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame, which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the HPN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the HPN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the HPN capital, while the HPN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). 74954d3b7f595b7222a3219f3e0a6fa14653e819 0 14 34 2023-09-04T21:47:26Z Kazi'aikcan 9 Created page with "==The Kingdom of Norreik== The Kingdom of Norreik is a fairly complex kingdom that is situated in the north.

It overthrew the confederation party and reconquered some land that they lost to the Verst Empire. ====Travösc Restoration==== The HT was returned to the throne after the Istuća Monarchy was toppled. Sadly, it didn't last until the mid 20th century AY, as communists started forcing the HT off. ====Communist Norreik==== The Norreik Communist Party (NCP) was the ruling faction in another loose confederation, but unlike Di Mark, the NCP's government was much more unorganized and was later overridden by the HT. ====Modern day Norreik==== As of 1970 AY, Norreik is a stable kingdom in its own right. Like the Orsk, the Norreikian flag uses a cross that's more to the left. Its ruling party is the House of Travösc from centuries prior. 9df5a9c6c5473a47f3f50354cae1e1fdb5998f34 0 15 35 2023-09-04T22:09:25Z Agdev(Toasters) 2 Created page with "{| class="wikitable" |+ Tornobyl |- !

Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. (Disclaimer: this is - as of September 4th, 2023 - basically a history of Eddenarah, but I'm trying to touch base on everything else too) == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and after the creation of the Homaric Pact, Eddenarah didn't really stand a chance. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish was the Homaric Pact (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Homaric Pact Nations (HPN) just to say "HA!" The HPN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The HPN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the HPN's capital. The HPN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The HPN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The HPN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the HPN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the HPN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the HPN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the HPN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the HPN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chkyeb]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the west (1530): The west was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Lets start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting eachother. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique en Letoque Jenois ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the HPN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The HPN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame, which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the HPN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the HPN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the HPN capital, while the HPN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). 48657901fa0cb776fb82d7c5fed1260a1edcd204 55 54 2023-09-06T14:13:48Z Agdev(Toasters) 2 /* South Seseco */ wikitext text/x-wiki They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya.

Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish was the Homaric Pact (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Homaric Pact Nations (HPN) just to say "HA!" The HPN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The HPN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the HPN's capital. The HPN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The HPN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The HPN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the HPN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the HPN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the HPN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the HPN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the HPN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. South Seseco is also a place of many inventions, the [[Traffic Signal]] (1872, [[Saint Vennes]], [[Deprivique]]), [[Printing Press]] (1450, [[Burges]], [[Grand Duchy of Burges]]) and [[Controlled Access Motorway]] (1913, [[Kvev]], [[Tornobyl]]) were all invented here. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chkyeb]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the west (1530): The west was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Lets start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting eachother. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique en Letoque Jenois ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the HPN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The HPN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame, which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the HPN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the HPN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the HPN capital, while the HPN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). 8471539db2d3fe7e8a4a2a7640fb80db5bd3c36d 56 55 2023-09-06T15:50:22Z BellatriX 4 wikitext text/x-wiki They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya. Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. (Disclaimer: this is - as of September 4th, 2023 - basically a history of Eddenarah, but I'm trying to touch base on everything else too) == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and after the creation of the Homaric Pact, Eddenarah didn't really stand a chance. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish was the Homaric Pact (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Homaric Pact Nations (HPN) just to say "HA!" The HPN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The HPN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the HPN's capital. The HPN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant.

The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The HPN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The HPN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the HPN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the HPN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the HPN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the HPN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the HPN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]].

These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour.

[[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the west (1530): The west was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Let's start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting each other. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique en Letoque Jenois ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the HPN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The HPN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame, which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the HPN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the HPN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in late 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the HPN capital, while the HPN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). After half a year of this, all sides realized that this type of warfare was entirely unsustainable, and called a year-and-a-half ceasefire to build up their resources. In 1304 AY, Marricopra launnched an assault on Centrius == For Those Of You Who Wish to Write Your Own Histories == While the Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War is going on, everyone else is distracted with their own problems (except for you, Gondolinius - you got pulled into the war too). If you want to write your own history, here are some worldwide events to keep in mind: - The Fireplague Epidemic (1406-1455 AY), which originated in the Mocze desert (likely wiped out the Northern Order, if anyone wants to take the reins with this) - The War of the Chicken Pie, which started over a cooking competition held in the KoPWARToD, which was already having its own internal struggles that several countries simply threw themselves into (1507-1509 AY) - The Second Fireplague Epidemic (1509 - ended the WotCP - to 1576 AY; off and on throughout these years) - The split of Ashmansckra and Sevdrolet, which gave us the two desert islands south of Centrius (1599 AY). I might jump in with this one and make it a war, but for now feel free to keep this in mind as you write your own history - The economic collapse of 1684: feel free to make this happen however you like, as long as it does, and lasts more than two years. - The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat. This destroyed the capital and led to the collapse of the Republic, leading to the country being divided up into several groups (including Saldon) - Lacertiliitis (1837): a disease originating in the Great Lacertilia National Park (Marricopra) that spread to the greater population and made it across the sea to Ortalor, Saldon, and whatever state Gondolinius was in at the time. - Lacertiliitis/Fireplague Meltdown: Doctors and scientists from all corners of the world scramble to the Central Archipelago, which is declared a neutral zone for the time, to create a vaccination for the mutated Lacertiliitis-Fireplague disease, which has rendered large portions of Mocze and Gusmoas inhabitable. This disease wipes out almost all of Del Sarcarmo, half of Seseco, and the monarch of Marricopra, leading to a general state of panic. Most of the world goes into COVID-style lockdown, making the economy grind to a halt and leaving many countries unable to govern themselves. Circa 1895 AY. - The Second Apocalypse (1906). This is the final event leading to where our nations are today. Details on this soon. 62d1d41cfbce498c1db96f9e5929107729c10f23 58 56 2023-09-06T15:58:40Z Agdev(Toasters) 2 /* South Seseco */ wikitext text/x-wiki They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya. Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. (Disclaimer: this is - as of September 4th, 2023 - basically a history of Eddenarah, but I'm trying to touch base on everything else too) == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and after the creation of the Homaric Pact, Eddenarah didn't really stand a chance. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish was the Homaric Pact (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Homaric Pact Nations (HPN) just to say "HA!" The HPN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The HPN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the HPN's capital. The HPN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The HPN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The HPN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the HPN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the HPN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the HPN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the HPN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the HPN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. South Seseco is also a place of many inventions, the [[Traffic Signal]] (1872, [[Saint Vennes]], [[Deprivique]]), [[Printing Press]] (1450, [[Burges]], [[Grand Duchy of Burges]]) and [[Controlled Access Motorway]] (1913, [[Kvev]], [[Tornobyl]]) were all invented here. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chkyeb]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the west (1530): The west was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Let's start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting each other. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique en Letoque Jenois ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. Deprivique natives originated from somewhere along the [[Vizantus Strait]]. They left their homeland of Dovranland due to a war with some neighboring power. We don't know how long ago this was, but best historians estimate that it was during the Post Flood era. [[File:0e5138d4-7ec9-4f38-9982-3b7a8d3af6d5.jpg|center|thumb|Mural in Petersport depicting the natives of Deprivique leaving their homeland circa 1198]] == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the HPN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD.

The HPN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame, which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the HPN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the HPN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in late 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the HPN capital, while the HPN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). After half a year of this, all sides realized that this type of warfare was entirely unsustainable, and called a year-and-a-half ceasefire to build up their resources. In 1304 AY, Marricopra launnched an assault on Centrius == For Those Of You Who Wish to Write Your Own Histories == While the Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War is going on, everyone else is distracted with their own problems (except for you, Gondolinius - you got pulled into the war too). If you want to write your own history, here are some worldwide events to keep in mind: - The Fireplague Epidemic (1406-1455 AY), which originated in the Mocze desert (likely wiped out the Northern Order, if anyone wants to take the reins with this) - The War of the Chicken Pie, which started over a cooking competition held in the KoPWARToD, which was already having its own internal struggles that several countries simply threw themselves into (1507-1509 AY) - The Second Fireplague Epidemic (1509 - ended the WotCP - to 1576 AY; off and on throughout these years) - The split of Ashmansckra and Sevdrolet, which gave us the two desert islands south of Centrius (1599 AY). I might jump in with this one and make it a war, but for now feel free to keep this in mind as you write your own history - The economic collapse of 1684: feel free to make this happen however you like, as long as it does, and lasts more than two years. - The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat. This destroyed the capital and led to the collapse of the Republic, leading to the country being divided up into several groups (including Saldon) - Lacertiliitis (1837): a disease originating in the Great Lacertilia National Park (Marricopra) that spread to the greater population and made it across the sea to Ortalor, Saldon, and whatever state Gondolinius was in at the time. - Lacertiliitis/Fireplague Meltdown: Doctors and scientists from all corners of the world scramble to the Central Archipelago, which is declared a neutral zone for the time, to create a vaccination for the mutated Lacertiliitis-Fireplague disease, which has rendered large portions of Mocze and Gusmoas inhabitable. This disease wipes out almost all of Del Sarcarmo, half of Seseco, and the monarch of Marricopra, leading to a general state of panic. Most of the world goes into COVID-style lockdown, making the economy grind to a halt and leaving many countries unable to govern themselves. Circa 1895 AY. - The Second Apocalypse (1906). This is the final event leading to where our nations are today. Details on this soon. 91a4c8e4441f06c51fc89e7518d4490961e84469 59 58 2023-09-06T18:18:27Z BellatriX 4 wikitext text/x-wiki They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya. Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. (Disclaimer: this is - as of September 6th, 2023 - basically a history of Eddenarah, but I'm trying to touch base on everything else too) == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and after the creation of the Homaric Pact, Eddenarah didn't really stand a chance. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish was the Homaric Pact (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Homaric Pact Nations (HPN) just to say "HA!" The HPN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The HPN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the HPN's capital. The HPN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The HPN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The HPN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the HPN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the HPN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the HPN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the HPN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the HPN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. South Seseco is also a place of many inventions, the [[Traffic Signal]] (1872, [[Saint Vennes]], [[Deprivique]]), [[Printing Press]] (1450, [[Burges]], [[Grand Duchy of Burges]]) and [[Controlled Access Motorway]] (1913, [[Kvev]], [[Tornobyl]]) were all invented here. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chkyeb]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the west (1530): The west was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Let's start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting each other. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique en Letoque Jenois ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. Deprivique natives originated from somewhere along the [[Vizantus Strait]]. They left their homeland of Dovranland due to a war with some neighboring power. We don't know how long ago this was, but best historians estimate that it was during the Post Flood era. [[File:0e5138d4-7ec9-4f38-9982-3b7a8d3af6d5.jpg|center|thumb|Mural in Petersport depicting the natives of Deprivique leaving their homeland circa 1198]] == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the HPN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The HPN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame, which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the HPN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == For those of you who are too lazy to read: basically the three powers of the Centrius Basin were at war off and on for 73 (and a quarter!) years. This was the last major war of this type, and ended with the HPN regaining control of the islands (for now...). In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the HPN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in late 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the HPN capital, while the HPN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). After half a year of this, all sides realized that this type of warfare was entirely unsustainable, and called a year-and-a-half ceasefire to build up their resources. In 1304 AY, Marricopra launched an assault on Centrius, and held and defended the island for ten years. The HPN was too busy rebuilding its capital for what was at least the third time, and so it was no difficulty for Marricopra to hold back the meager Ashmanschkri army, until 1314, when the HPN rejoined the battle, heading straight for the Marricopran capital. It was the worst destruction the area had seen since the Flood. Marricopra immediately moved backwards to defend their capital, and while the HPN-Marricopra conflict went on in what remained of the Valley of Pryoriya, Ashmanschkra took the islands. Marricopra eventually pushed back the HPN to the far East. The loss from this set of fighting sparked another ceasefire, this one lasting four and a half years. STILL A MASSIVE WIP == For Those Of You Who Wish to Write Your Own Histories == While the Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War is going on, everyone else is distracted with their own problems (except for you, Gondolinius - you got pulled into the war too). If you want to write your own history, here are some worldwide events to keep in mind: - The Fireplague Epidemic (1406-1455 AY), which originated in the Mocze desert (likely wiped out the Northern Order, if anyone wants to take the reins with this) - The War of the Chicken Pie, which started over a cooking competition held in the KoPWARToD, which was already having its own internal struggles that several countries simply threw themselves into (1507-1509 AY) - The Second Fireplague Epidemic (1509 - ended the WotCP - to 1576 AY; off and on throughout these years) - The split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet, which gave us the two desert islands south of Centrius (1599 AY). I might jump in with this one and make it a war, but for now feel free to keep this in mind as you write your own history - The economic collapse of 1684: feel free to make this happen however you like, as long as it does, and lasts more than two years. - The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat. This destroyed the capital and led to the collapse of the Republic, leading to the country being divided up into several groups (including Saldon) - Lacertiliitis (1837): a disease originating in the Great Lacertilia National Park (Marricopra) that spread to the greater population and made it across the sea to Ortalor, Saldon, and whatever state Gondolinius was in at the time. - Lacertiliitis/Fireplague Meltdown: Doctors and scientists from all corners of the world scramble to the Central Archipelago, which is declared a neutral zone for the time, to create a vaccination for the mutated Lacertiliitis-Fireplague disease, which has rendered large portions of Mocze and Gusmoas inhabitable. This disease wipes out almost all of Del Sarcarmo, half of Seseco, and the monarch of Marricopra, leading to a general state of panic. Most of the world goes into COVID-style lockdown, making the economy grind to a halt and leaving many countries unable to govern themselves. Circa 1895 AY. - The Second Apocalypse (1906). This is the final event leading to where our nations are today.

The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate the Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and while Eddenarah had the upper hand at first, the Lobsterites gradually improved. When they unified under the name Children of Nephrops then they routed Eddenarah off of the islands. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish were the Children of Nephrops (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Children of Nephrops (CoN) just to say "HA!" The CoN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The CoN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the CoN's capital. The CoN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The CoN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The CoN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the CoN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the CoN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the CoN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the CoN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the CoN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. South Seseco is also a place of many inventions, the [[Traffic Signal]] (1872, [[Saint Vennes]], [[Deprivique]]), [[Printing Press]] (1450, [[Burges]], [[Grand Duchy of Burges]]) and [[Controlled Access Motorway]] (1913, [[Kvev]], [[Tornobyl]]) were all invented here. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chkyeb]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the west (1530): The west was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Let's start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting each other. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique en Letoque Jenois ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. Deprivique natives originated from somewhere along the [[Vizantus Strait]]. They left their homeland of Dovranland due to a war with some neighboring power. We don't know how long ago this was, but best historians estimate that it was during the Post Flood era. [[File:0e5138d4-7ec9-4f38-9982-3b7a8d3af6d5.jpg|center|thumb|Mural in Petersport depicting the natives of Deprivique leaving their homeland circa 1198]] == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the CoN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The CoN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame, which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the CoN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == For those of you who are too lazy to read: basically the three powers of the Centrius Basin were at war off and on for 73 (and a quarter!) years. This was the last major war of this type, and ended with the CoN regaining control of the islands (for now...). In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the CoN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in late 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the CoN capital, while the CoN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). After half a year of this, all sides realized that this type of warfare was entirely unsustainable, and called a year-and-a-half ceasefire to build up their resources. In 1304 AY, Marricopra launched an assault on Centrius, and held and defended the island for ten years. The CoN was too busy rebuilding its capital for what was at least the third time, and so it was no difficulty for Marricopra to hold back the meager Ashmanschkri army, until 1314, when the CoN rejoined the battle, heading straight for the Marricopran capital. It was the worst destruction the area had seen since the Flood. Marricopra immediately moved backwards to defend their capital, and while the CoN-Marricopra conflict went on in what remained of the Valley of Pryoriya, Ashmanschkra took the islands. Marricopra eventually pushed back the CoN to the far East. The loss from this set of fighting sparked another ceasefire, this one lasting four and a half years. STILL A MASSIVE WIP == For Those Of You Who Wish to Write Your Own Histories == While the Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War is going on, everyone else is distracted with their own problems (except for you, Gondolinius - you got pulled into the war too). If you want to write your own history, here are some worldwide events to keep in mind: - The Fireplague Epidemic (1406-1455 AY), which originated in the Mocze desert (likely wiped out the Northern Order, if anyone wants to take the reins with this) - The War of the Chicken Pie, which started over a cooking competition held in the KoPWARToD, which was already having its own internal struggles that several countries simply threw themselves into (1507-1509 AY) - The Second Fireplague Epidemic (1509 - ended the WotCP - to 1576 AY; off and on throughout these years) - The split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet, which gave us the two desert islands south of Centrius (1599 AY). I might jump in with this one and make it a war, but for now feel free to keep this in mind as you write your own history - The economic collapse of 1684: feel free to make this happen however you like, as long as it does, and lasts more than two years. - The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat. This destroyed the capital and led to the collapse of the Republic, leading to the country being divided up into several groups (including Saldon) - Lacertiliitis (1837): a disease originating in the Great Lacertilia National Park (Marricopra) that spread to the greater population and made it across the sea to Ortalor, Saldon, and whatever state Gondolinius was in at the time. - Lacertiliitis/Fireplague Meltdown: Doctors and scientists from all corners of the world scramble to the Central Archipelago, which is declared a neutral zone for the time, to create a vaccination for the mutated Lacertiliitis-Fireplague disease, which has rendered large portions of Mocze and Gusmoas inhabitable. This disease wipes out almost all of Del Sarcarmo, half of Seseco, and the monarch of Marricopra, leading to a general state of panic. Most of the world goes into COVID-style lockdown, making the economy grind to a halt and leaving many countries unable to govern themselves. Circa 1895 AY. - The Second Apocalypse (1906). This is the final event leading to where our nations are today. Details on this soon. 0e755521c1acc909ab383440e6bdc64701d9ab24 64 62 2023-09-07T17:55:00Z Agdev(Toasters) 2 /* Deprivique en Letoque Jenois */ wikitext text/x-wiki They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya. Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. (Disclaimer: this is - as of September 6th, 2023 - basically a history of Eddenarah, but I'm trying to touch base on everything else too) == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate the Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and while Eddenarah had the upper hand at first, the Lobsterites gradually improved. When they unified under the name Children of Nephrops then they routed Eddenarah off of the islands. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish were the Children of Nephrops (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Children of Nephrops (CoN) just to say "HA!" The CoN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The CoN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the CoN's capital. The CoN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The CoN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The CoN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the CoN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the CoN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the CoN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the CoN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the CoN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. South Seseco is also a place of many inventions, the [[Traffic Signal]] (1872, [[Saint Vennes]], [[Deprivique]]), [[Printing Press]] (1450, [[Burges]], [[Grand Duchy of Burges]]) and [[Controlled Access Motorway]] (1913, [[Kvev]], [[Tornobyl]]) were all invented here. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chkyeb]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the west (1530): The west was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Let's start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting each other. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. Deprivique natives originated from somewhere along the [[Vizantus Strait]]. They left their homeland of Dovranland due to a war with some neighboring power. We don't know how long ago this was, but best historians estimate that it was during the Post Flood era. [[File:0e5138d4-7ec9-4f38-9982-3b7a8d3af6d5.jpg|center|thumb|Mural in Petersport depicting the natives of Deprivique leaving their homeland circa 1198]]Deprivique was two kingdoms, the Grand Duchy of Hallem and the Kingdom of Leynes (now Petersport). They united in 748 to form the [[Deprivique Union]]. They were invaded by their neighbour, [[Letoque]] to the north ~912 during the [[Letoque Conquests]]. While they were independant not much notable happened. ===== Jenois ===== Today [[Jenois]] is a disputed canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] (Officially it is part of the canton [[Letoque Jenois]]) It does not have a very unique culture at all, they are basically just people from the Chkyiv Mountains who emmigrated west and met the Letoque people. Something that is notable about them is that they were hit incredibly hard during the Lacertiliitis. Almost three quarters of their population died, half of the remaining emmigrated. The city of Jenois was almost empty by 1900. They repopulated at very impressive rates, and today the region has a population of 1.4 Million. ===== Letoque ===== Letoque is and always was the dominant power in the West. The people of Letoque (Letiquain)'s origins are unknown but we think they came from the same place as the Tornoblites. The capital of Letoque is [[Saint Vennes]]. It is the second most populous canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] but has no city over one million in population. Over it's history Letoque has had a very unique take on land, similar to that of the Russian Empire. This encouraged people to spread out which is why they are significantly less dense than the other cantons. Letoque is home to Jenois, a disputed canton in it's east. Letoque WIP == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the CoN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The CoN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame, which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the CoN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == For those of you who are too lazy to read: basically the three powers of the Centrius Basin were at war off and on for 73 (and a quarter!) years. This was the last major war of this type, and ended with the CoN regaining control of the islands (for now...). In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the CoN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in late 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the CoN capital, while the CoN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). After half a year of this, all sides realized that this type of warfare was entirely unsustainable, and called a year-and-a-half ceasefire to build up their resources. In 1304 AY, Marricopra launched an assault on Centrius, and held and defended the island for ten years. The CoN was too busy rebuilding its capital for what was at least the third time, and so it was no difficulty for Marricopra to hold back the meager Ashmanschkri army, until 1314, when the CoN rejoined the battle, heading straight for the Marricopran capital. It was the worst destruction the area had seen since the Flood. Marricopra immediately moved backwards to defend their capital, and while the CoN-Marricopra conflict went on in what remained of the Valley of Pryoriya, Ashmanschkra took the islands. Marricopra eventually pushed back the CoN to the far East. The loss from this set of fighting sparked another ceasefire, this one lasting four and a half years. STILL A MASSIVE WIP == For Those Of You Who Wish to Write Your Own Histories == While the Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War is going on, everyone else is distracted with their own problems (except for you, Gondolinius - you got pulled into the war too). If you want to write your own history, here are some worldwide events to keep in mind: - The Fireplague Epidemic (1406-1455 AY), which originated in the Mocze desert (likely wiped out the Northern Order, if anyone wants to take the reins with this) - The War of the Chicken Pie, which started over a cooking competition held in the KoPWARToD, which was already having its own internal struggles that several countries simply threw themselves into (1507-1509 AY) - The Second Fireplague Epidemic (1509 - ended the WotCP - to 1576 AY; off and on throughout these years) - The split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet, which gave us the two desert islands south of Centrius (1599 AY). I might jump in with this one and make it a war, but for now feel free to keep this in mind as you write your own history - The economic collapse of 1684: feel free to make this happen however you like, as long as it does, and lasts more than two years. - The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat. This destroyed the capital and led to the collapse of the Republic, leading to the country being divided up into several groups (including Saldon) - Lacertiliitis (1837): a disease originating in the Great Lacertilia National Park (Marricopra) that spread to the greater population and made it across the sea to Ortalor, Saldon, and whatever state Gondolinius was in at the time. - Lacertiliitis/Fireplague Meltdown: Doctors and scientists from all corners of the world scramble to the Central Archipelago, which is declared a neutral zone for the time, to create a vaccination for the mutated Lacertiliitis-Fireplague disease, which has rendered large portions of Mocze and Gusmoas inhabitable. This disease wipes out almost all of Del Sarcarmo, half of Seseco, and the monarch of Marricopra, leading to a general state of panic. Most of the world goes into COVID-style lockdown, making the economy grind to a halt and leaving many countries unable to govern themselves. Circa 1895 AY. - The Second Apocalypse (1906). This is the final event leading to where our nations are today. Details on this soon. 768db6e1013fb55dd637d50a356866e291e68250 65 64 2023-09-07T19:42:35Z Agdev(Toasters) 2 /* South Seseco */ wikitext text/x-wiki They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya. Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. (Disclaimer: this is - as of September 6th, 2023 - basically a history of Eddenarah, but I'm trying to touch base on everything else too) == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate the Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and while Eddenarah had the upper hand at first, the Lobsterites gradually improved. When they unified under the name Children of Nephrops then they routed Eddenarah off of the islands. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish were the Children of Nephrops (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Children of Nephrops (CoN) just to say "HA!" The CoN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The CoN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the CoN's capital. The CoN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The CoN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The CoN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the CoN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the CoN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the CoN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the CoN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the CoN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. South Seseco is also a place of many inventions, the [[Traffic Signal]] (1872, [[Saint Vennes]], [[Deprivique]]), [[Printing Press]] (1450, [[Burges]], [[Grand Duchy of Burges]]) and [[Controlled Access Motorway]] (1913, [[Kvev]], [[Tornobyl]]) were all invented here. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chkyeb]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the west (1530): The west was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Let's start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting each other. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. Deprivique natives originated from somewhere along the [[Vizantus Strait]]. They left their homeland of Dovranland due to a war with some neighboring power. We don't know how long ago this was, but best historians estimate that it was during the Post Flood era. [[File:0e5138d4-7ec9-4f38-9982-3b7a8d3af6d5.jpg|center|thumb|Mural in Petersport depicting the natives of Deprivique leaving their homeland circa 1198]]Deprivique was two kingdoms, the Grand Duchy of Hallem and the Kingdom of Leynes (now Petersport). They united in 748 to form the [[Deprivique Union]]. They were invaded by their neighbour, [[Letoque]] to the north ~912 during the [[Letoque Conquests]]. While they were independant not much notable happened. ===== Jenois ===== Today [[Jenois]] is a disputed canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] (Officially it is part of the canton [[Letoque Jenois]]) It does not have a very unique culture at all, they are basically just people from the Chkyiv Mountains who emmigrated west and met the Letoque people. Something that is notable about them is that they were hit incredibly hard during the Lacertiliitis. Almost three quarters of their population died, half of the remaining emmigrated. The city of Jenois was almost empty by 1900. They repopulated at very impressive rates, and today the region has a population of 1.4 Million. ===== Letoque ===== Letoque is and always was the dominant power in the West. The people of Letoque (Letiquain)'s origins are unknown but we think they came from the same place as the Tornoblites. The capital of Letoque is [[Saint Vennes]]. It is the second most populous canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] but has no city over one million in population. Over it's history Letoque has had a very unique take on land, similar to that of the Russian Empire. This encouraged people to spread out which is why they are significantly less dense than the other cantons. Letoque is home to Jenois, a disputed canton in it's east. Letoque lost land and was eventually destroyed in the [[Letoque Wars]] which lasted from 1610 - 1670 and main belligrents were the Verst Empire and Grand Duchy of Burges (GDB seceded from the Chkyeb Uniate in 1620). ==== Summary ==== South Seseco has had a history of civil wars, disease and violent wars, however it has also had times of prosperity. The "Seseco Golden Age" was the time from 1723 - 1803 both started and ended by war, but during which there was no fighting and instead inventions, discoveries and industrialisation. == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the CoN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The CoN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame, which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the CoN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == For those of you who are too lazy to read: basically the three powers of the Centrius Basin were at war off and on for 73 (and a quarter!) years. This was the last major war of this type, and ended with the CoN regaining control of the islands (for now...). In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the CoN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in late 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the CoN capital, while the CoN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). After half a year of this, all sides realized that this type of warfare was entirely unsustainable, and called a year-and-a-half ceasefire to build up their resources. In 1304 AY, Marricopra launched an assault on Centrius, and held and defended the island for ten years. The CoN was too busy rebuilding its capital for what was at least the third time, and so it was no difficulty for Marricopra to hold back the meager Ashmanschkri army, until 1314, when the CoN rejoined the battle, heading straight for the Marricopran capital. It was the worst destruction the area had seen since the Flood. Marricopra immediately moved backwards to defend their capital, and while the CoN-Marricopra conflict went on in what remained of the Valley of Pryoriya, Ashmanschkra took the islands. Marricopra eventually pushed back the CoN to the far East. The loss from this set of fighting sparked another ceasefire, this one lasting four and a half years. STILL A MASSIVE WIP == For Those Of You Who Wish to Write Your Own Histories == While the Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War is going on, everyone else is distracted with their own problems (except for you, Gondolinius - you got pulled into the war too). If you want to write your own history, here are some worldwide events to keep in mind: - The Fireplague Epidemic (1406-1455 AY), which originated in the Mocze desert (likely wiped out the Northern Order, if anyone wants to take the reins with this) - The War of the Chicken Pie, which started over a cooking competition held in the KoPWARToD, which was already having its own internal struggles that several countries simply threw themselves into (1507-1509 AY) - The Second Fireplague Epidemic (1509 - ended the WotCP - to 1576 AY; off and on throughout these years) - The split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet, which gave us the two desert islands south of Centrius (1599 AY). I might jump in with this one and make it a war, but for now feel free to keep this in mind as you write your own history - The economic collapse of 1684: feel free to make this happen however you like, as long as it does, and lasts more than two years. - The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat. This destroyed the capital and led to the collapse of the Republic, leading to the country being divided up into several groups (including Saldon) - Lacertiliitis (1837): a disease originating in the Great Lacertilia National Park (Marricopra) that spread to the greater population and made it across the sea to Ortalor, Saldon, and whatever state Gondolinius was in at the time. - Lacertiliitis/Fireplague Meltdown: Doctors and scientists from all corners of the world scramble to the Central Archipelago, which is declared a neutral zone for the time, to create a vaccination for the mutated Lacertiliitis-Fireplague disease, which has rendered large portions of Mocze and Gusmoas inhabitable. This disease wipes out almost all of Del Sarcarmo, half of Seseco, and the monarch of Marricopra, leading to a general state of panic. Most of the world goes into COVID-style lockdown, making the economy grind to a halt and leaving many countries unable to govern themselves. Circa 1895 AY. - The Second Apocalypse (1906). This is the final event leading to where our nations are today. Details on this soon. 4aac8ac6563411142edcf903398b29c5e93ec1b9 66 65 2023-09-07T23:35:45Z BellatriX 4 /* The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 */ wikitext text/x-wiki They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya. Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. (Disclaimer: this is - as of September 6th, 2023 - basically a history of Eddenarah, but I'm trying to touch base on everything else too) == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate the Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and while Eddenarah had the upper hand at first, the Lobsterites gradually improved. When they unified under the name Children of Nephrops then they routed Eddenarah off of the islands. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish were the Children of Nephrops (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Children of Nephrops (CoN) just to say "HA!" The CoN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The CoN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the CoN's capital. The CoN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The CoN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The CoN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the CoN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the CoN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the CoN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the CoN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the CoN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. South Seseco is also a place of many inventions, the [[Traffic Signal]] (1872, [[Saint Vennes]], [[Deprivique]]), [[Printing Press]] (1450, [[Burges]], [[Grand Duchy of Burges]]) and [[Controlled Access Motorway]] (1913, [[Kvev]], [[Tornobyl]]) were all invented here. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chkyeb]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the west (1530): The west was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Let's start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting each other. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. Deprivique natives originated from somewhere along the [[Vizantus Strait]]. They left their homeland of Dovranland due to a war with some neighboring power. We don't know how long ago this was, but best historians estimate that it was during the Post Flood era. [[File:0e5138d4-7ec9-4f38-9982-3b7a8d3af6d5.jpg|center|thumb|Mural in Petersport depicting the natives of Deprivique leaving their homeland circa 1198]]Deprivique was two kingdoms, the Grand Duchy of Hallem and the Kingdom of Leynes (now Petersport). They united in 748 to form the [[Deprivique Union]]. They were invaded by their neighbour, [[Letoque]] to the north ~912 during the [[Letoque Conquests]]. While they were independant not much notable happened. ===== Jenois ===== Today [[Jenois]] is a disputed canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] (Officially it is part of the canton [[Letoque Jenois]]) It does not have a very unique culture at all, they are basically just people from the Chkyiv Mountains who emmigrated west and met the Letoque people. Something that is notable about them is that they were hit incredibly hard during the Lacertiliitis. Almost three quarters of their population died, half of the remaining emmigrated. The city of Jenois was almost empty by 1900. They repopulated at very impressive rates, and today the region has a population of 1.4 Million. ===== Letoque ===== Letoque is and always was the dominant power in the West. The people of Letoque (Letiquain)'s origins are unknown but we think they came from the same place as the Tornoblites. The capital of Letoque is [[Saint Vennes]]. It is the second most populous canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] but has no city over one million in population. Over it's history Letoque has had a very unique take on land, similar to that of the Russian Empire. This encouraged people to spread out which is why they are significantly less dense than the other cantons. Letoque is home to Jenois, a disputed canton in it's east. Letoque lost land and was eventually destroyed in the [[Letoque Wars]] which lasted from 1610 - 1670 and main belligrents were the Verst Empire and Grand Duchy of Burges (GDB seceded from the Chkyeb Uniate in 1620). ==== Summary ==== South Seseco has had a history of civil wars, disease and violent wars, however it has also had times of prosperity. The "Seseco Golden Age" was the time from 1723 - 1803 both started and ended by war, but during which there was no fighting and instead inventions, discoveries and industrialisation. == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the CoN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The CoN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame, which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the CoN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == For those of you who are too lazy to read: basically the three powers of the Centrius Basin were at war off and on for 73 (and a quarter!) years. This was the last major war of this type, and ended with the CoN regaining control of the islands (for now...). In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the CoN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in late 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the CoN capital, while the CoN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). After half a year of this, all sides realized that this type of warfare was entirely unsustainable, and called a year-and-a-half ceasefire to build up their resources. In 1304 AY, Marricopra launched an assault on Centrius, and held and defended the island for ten years. The CoN was too busy rebuilding its capital for what was at least the third time, and so it was no difficulty for Marricopra to hold back the meager Ashmanschkri army, until 1314, when the CoN rejoined the battle, heading straight for the Marricopran capital. It was the worst destruction the area had seen since the Flood. Marricopra immediately moved backwards to defend their capital, and while the CoN-Marricopra conflict went on in what remained of the Valley of Pryoriya, Ashmanschkra took the islands. Marricopra eventually pushed back the CoN to the far East. The loss from this set of fighting sparked another ceasefire, this one lasting four and a half years. This truce was broken by the CoN, who made their first stab at Ashmanschkra. This time it was successful, and they officially owned the Ashmanschrki army (Sevdrolet refused to join this war. This created a rift in the country, but more on this later) for a time. However, the Army of Ashmanschkra the Inevitable refused to be owned by any other faction, and rebelled against the CoN generals, which put a slight dent in the CoN army, but mostly distracted them from the Marricopra 1326 invasion of Centrius. MORE ON THIS TOMORROW; APPARENTLY MY SCHEDULE IS BUSIER THAN I ACCOUNTED FOR WHEN TAKING ON THIS TASK. SORRY IT'S TAKING SO LONG, BUT MY GRADES (and other parts of my life) ARE VERY IMPORTANT. == For Those Of You Who Wish to Write Your Own Histories == While the Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War is going on, everyone else is distracted with their own problems (except for you, Gondolinius - you got pulled into the war too). If you want to write your own history, here are some worldwide events to keep in mind: - The Fireplague Epidemic (1406-1455 AY), which originated in the Mocze desert (likely wiped out the Northern Order, if anyone wants to take the reins with this) - The War of the Chicken Pie, which started over a cooking competition held in the KoPWARToD, which was already having its own internal struggles that several countries simply threw themselves into (1507-1509 AY) - The Second Fireplague Epidemic (1509 - ended the WotCP - to 1576 AY; off and on throughout these years) - The split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet, which gave us the two desert islands south of Centrius (1599 AY). I might jump in with this one and make it a war, but for now feel free to keep this in mind as you write your own history - The economic collapse of 1684: feel free to make this happen however you like, as long as it does, and lasts more than two years. - The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat. This destroyed the capital and led to the collapse of the Republic, leading to the country being divided up into several groups (including Saldon) - Lacertiliitis (1837): a disease originating in the Great Lacertilia National Park (Marricopra) that spread to the greater population and made it across the sea to Ortalor, Saldon, and whatever state Gondolinius was in at the time. - Lacertiliitis/Fireplague Meltdown: Doctors and scientists from all corners of the world scramble to the Central Archipelago, which is declared a neutral zone for the time, to create a vaccination for the mutated Lacertiliitis-Fireplague disease, which has rendered large portions of Mocze and Gusmoas inhabitable. This disease wipes out almost all of Del Sarcarmo, half of Seseco, and the monarch of Marricopra, leading to a general state of panic. Most of the world goes into COVID-style lockdown, making the economy grind to a halt and leaving many countries unable to govern themselves. Circa 1895 AY. - The Second Apocalypse (1906). This is the final event leading to where our nations are today. Details on this soon. 27fb649507abdd8432a2fd40e2203ddacee61d24 6 23 57 2023-09-06T15:54:22Z Agdev(Toasters) 2 wikitext text/x-wiki Medievel deprivique mural 191e1c0bad28e6fd357d7c9b7ad06d49a07785e7 6 24 60 2023-09-06T18:39:31Z BellatriX 4 wikitext text/x-wiki The Kingdom of Marricopra 1509-1599 8133db4336575d12b64f78d1ead5fe80c5520112 6 25 63 2023-09-06T20:38:19Z Shortfin1 12 wikitext text/x-wiki The flag represents the Empire (obviously).

Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. (Disclaimer: this is - as of September 6th, 2023 - basically a history of Eddenarah, but I'm trying to touch base on everything else too) == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate the Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and while Eddenarah had the upper hand at first, the Lobsterites gradually improved. When they unified under the name Children of Nephrops then they routed Eddenarah off of the islands. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish were the Children of Nephrops (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Children of Nephrops (CoN) just to say "HA!" The CoN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The CoN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the CoN's capital. The CoN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The CoN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The CoN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the CoN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the CoN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the CoN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the CoN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the CoN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. South Seseco is also a place of many inventions, the [[Traffic Signal]] (1872, [[Saint Vennes]], [[Deprivique]]), [[Printing Press]] (1450, [[Burges]], [[Grand Duchy of Burges]]) and [[Controlled Access Motorway]] (1913, [[Kvev]], [[Tornobyl]]) were all invented here. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chkyeb]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the west (1530): The west was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Let's start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting each other. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. Deprivique natives originated from somewhere along the [[Vizantus Strait]]. They left their homeland of Dovranland due to a war with some neighboring power. We don't know how long ago this was, but best historians estimate that it was during the Post Flood era. [[File:0e5138d4-7ec9-4f38-9982-3b7a8d3af6d5.jpg|center|thumb|Mural in Petersport depicting the natives of Deprivique leaving their homeland circa 1198]]Deprivique was two kingdoms, the Grand Duchy of Hallem and the Kingdom of Leynes (now Petersport). They united in 748 to form the [[Deprivique Union]]. They were invaded by their neighbour, [[Letoque]] to the north ~912 during the [[Letoque Conquests]]. While they were independant not much notable happened. ===== Jenois ===== Today [[Jenois]] is a disputed canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] (Officially it is part of the canton [[Letoque Jenois]]) It does not have a very unique culture at all, they are basically just people from the Chkyiv Mountains who emmigrated west and met the Letoque people. Something that is notable about them is that they were hit incredibly hard during the Lacertiliitis. Almost three quarters of their population died, half of the remaining emmigrated. The city of Jenois was almost empty by 1900. They repopulated at very impressive rates, and today the region has a population of 1.4 Million. ===== Letoque ===== Letoque is and always was the dominant power in the West. The people of Letoque (Letiquain)'s origins are unknown but we think they came from the same place as the Tornoblites. The capital of Letoque is [[Saint Vennes]]. It is the second most populous canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] but has no city over one million in population. Over it's history Letoque has had a very unique take on land, similar to that of the Russian Empire. This encouraged people to spread out which is why they are significantly less dense than the other cantons. Letoque is home to Jenois, a disputed canton in it's east. Letoque lost land and was eventually destroyed in the [[Letoque Wars]] which lasted from 1610 - 1670 and main belligrents were the Verst Empire and Grand Duchy of Burges (GDB seceded from the Chkyeb Uniate in 1620). ==== Summary ==== South Seseco has had a history of civil wars, disease and violent wars, however it has also had times of prosperity. The "Seseco Golden Age" was the time from 1723 - 1803 both started and ended by war, but during which there was no fighting and instead inventions, discoveries and industrialisation. == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the CoN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The CoN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame, which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the CoN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == For those of you who are too lazy to read: basically the three powers of the Centrius Basin were at war off and on for 73 (and a quarter!) years. This was the last major war of this type, and ended with the CoN regaining control of the islands (for now...). In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the CoN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in late 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the CoN capital, while the CoN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). After half a year of this, all sides realized that this type of warfare was entirely unsustainable, and called a year-and-a-half ceasefire to build up their resources. In 1304 AY, Marricopra launched an assault on Centrius, and held and defended the island for ten years. The CoN was too busy rebuilding its capital for what was at least the third time, and so it was no difficulty for Marricopra to hold back the meager Ashmanschkri army, until 1314, when the CoN rejoined the battle, heading straight for the Marricopran capital. It was the worst destruction the area had seen since the Flood. Marricopra immediately moved backwards to defend their capital, and while the CoN-Marricopra conflict went on in what remained of the Valley of Pryoriya, Ashmanschkra took the islands. Marricopra eventually pushed back the CoN to the far East. The loss from this set of fighting sparked another ceasefire, this one lasting four and a half years. This truce was broken by the CoN, who made their first stab at Ashmanschkra. This time it was successful, and they officially owned the Ashmanschrki army (Sevdrolet refused to join this war. This created a rift in the country, but more on this later) for a time. However, the Army of Ashmanschkra the Inevitable refused to be owned by any other faction, and rebelled against the CoN generals, which put a slight dent in the CoN army, but mostly distracted them from the Marricopra 1326 invasion of Centrius. MORE ON THIS TOMORROW; APPARENTLY MY SCHEDULE IS BUSIER THAN I ACCOUNTED FOR WHEN TAKING ON THIS TASK. SORRY IT'S TAKING SO LONG, BUT MY GRADES (and other parts of my life) ARE VERY IMPORTANT. == For Those Of You Who Wish to Write Your Own Histories == While the Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War is going on, everyone else is distracted with their own problems (except for you, Gondolinius - you got pulled into the war too). If you want to write your own history, here are some worldwide events to keep in mind: - The Fireplague Epidemic (1406-1455 AY), which originated in the Mocze desert (likely wiped out the Northern Order, if anyone wants to take the reins with this) - The War of the Chicken Pie, which started over a cooking competition held in the KoPWARToD, which was already having its own internal struggles that several countries simply threw themselves into (1507-1509 AY) - The Second Fireplague Epidemic (1509 - ended the WotCP - to 1576 AY; off and on throughout these years) - The split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet, which gave us the two desert islands south of Centrius (1599 AY). I might jump in with this one and make it a war, but for now feel free to keep this in mind as you write your own history - The economic collapse of 1684: feel free to make this happen however you like, as long as it does, and lasts more than two years. - The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat. This destroyed the capital and led to the collapse of the Republic, leading to the country being divided up into several groups (including Saldon) - Lacertiliitis (1837): a disease originating in the Great Lacertilia National Park (Marricopra) that spread to the greater population and made it across the sea to Oralotzo, Saldon, and whatever state Gondolinius was in at the time. - Lacertiliitis/Fireplague Meltdown: Doctors and scientists from all corners of the world scramble to the Central Archipelago, which is declared a neutral zone for the time, to create a vaccination for the mutated Lacertiliitis-Fireplague disease, which has rendered large portions of Mocze and Gusmoas inhabitable. This disease wipes out almost all of Del Sarcarmo, half of Seseco, and the monarch of Marricopra, leading to a general state of panic. Most of the world goes into COVID-style lockdown, making the economy grind to a halt and leaving many countries unable to govern themselves. Circa 1895 AY. - The Second Apocalypse (1906). This is the final event leading to where our nations are today.

Hence, the name "Norreik" meaning Northern Realm. Its history gets more complex. ===The History of Norreik=== ====Pre-12 times==== The Kingdom of Norreik used to be an area of 20 warring states fighting for supremacy and a bucket of grapes. They made grapes the "holy fruit," so when a thief ate 5 holy grapes from the shared bucket, everyone, not knowing where the thief came from, blamed each other for eating the HGs. Later, 5 of the 20 states decided to make a union that would "last forever". This is where the Hösaamiś Union came from. ====The Hösaamiś Union==== The Hösaaamiś Union was made up of 5 states that had the "holiest of grapes." They later conquered 3 chiefdoms in the north. ====The House of Travösc==== The House of Travösc took over the HU and further conquered the north. ====Union of the 10 Nortsciss==== The U10N was run by the HT as a way to maintain stability in the region. They then conquered the Far North. ====Di Mark==== The HT was overthrown and a loose confederation was formed. Shortly after, the Verst empire took the lands that once connected the western parts and the old HU lands. ====The Istuća Monarchy==== The IM was the old HU but rebirthed. It overthrew the confederation party and reconquered some land that they lost to the Verst Empire. ====Travösc Restoration==== The HT was returned to the throne after the Istuća Monarchy was toppled. Sadly, it didn't last until the mid 20th century AY, as communists started forcing the HT off. ====Communist Norreik==== The Norreik Communist Party (NCP) was the ruling faction in another loose confederation, but unlike Di Mark, the NCP's government was much more unorganized and was later overridden by the HT. ====Modern day Norreik==== As of 1970 AY, Norreik is a stable kingdom in its own right. Like the Orsk, the Norreikian flag uses a cross that's more to the left. Its ruling party is the House of Travösc from centuries prior.

As of the last update to the summit the cantons were [[Deprivique]], [[Tornve|Tornobyl]], [[Druktyiv]] and [[Letoque Jenois]] ([[Jenois]] joined [[Letoque]] in 1965) The federal territory is a type of canton with '''no regional government and is instead managed by the federal government.''' The only federal territory as of yet is [[Tornve|Tornve City Federal Territory]]. The Capital/Overseas Territory is no longer used (since 1962 when Trovanska Capital seceded from the federation and joined the [[Chkyeb State|Chkyeb State)]].

Hence, the name "Norreik" meaning Northern Realm. Its history gets more complex. It borders [[Hakha Rakhine]], [[Chkeyb State]], and the [[Orsk Federation]]. == History == ====Pre-12 times==== The Kingdom of Norreik used to be an area of 20 warring states fighting for supremacy and a bucket of grapes. They made grapes the "holy fruit," so when a thief ate 5 holy grapes from the shared bucket, everyone, not knowing where the thief came from, blamed each other for eating the HGs. Later, 5 of the 20 states decided to make a union that would "last forever". This is where the Hösaamiś Union came from. ====The Hösaamiś Union==== The Hösaaamiś Union was made up of 5 states that had the "holiest of grapes." They later conquered 3 chiefdoms in the north. ====The House of Travösc==== The House of Travösc took over the HU and further conquered the north. ====Union of the 10 Nortsciss==== The U10N was run by the HT as a way to maintain stability in the region. They then conquered the Far North. [[File:Screenshot 2023-09-10 5.51.40 PM.png|thumb|390x390px|Province map]] ====Di Mark==== The HT was overthrown and a loose confederation was formed. Shortly after, the Verst empire took the lands that once connected the western parts and the old HU lands. ====The Istuća Monarchy==== The IM was the old HU but rebirthed. It overthrew the confederation party and reconquered some land that they lost to the Verst Empire. ====Travösc Restoration==== The HT was returned to the throne after the Istuća Monarchy was toppled. Sadly, it didn't last until the mid 20th century AY, as communists started forcing the HT off. ====Communist Norreik==== [[File:Screenshot 2023-09-10 5.52.32 PM.png|thumb|Resources gained]] The Norreik Communist Party (NCP) was the ruling faction in another loose confederation, but unlike Di Mark, the NCP's government was much more unorganized and was later overridden by the HT. ====Modern day Norreik==== As of 1970 AY, Norreik is a stable kingdom in its own right.

They are the people who help the Communist Party of Hakha Rakhine (CPHR). They mainly work in a factory in Yango. Sinese were usually called bandits since the (CPHR) spied on the groups of bandits going near the Sino Territory. They believed that the Sino people were causing all the problems in Hakha Rakhine by stealing resources. The Sino-chin and the Sino-Rakâ people were placed under the authoritarian of (CPHR) and were freed later, but the Sino-people were demoted to Low-Class Must-Be-Authorized citizens. == Categories == [[:Category:Settlements]] [[:Category:Settlements in Hakha Rakhine]] 34a07a1a89c3e94dc4177726f41a4b670a5d5cf4 0 45 183 96 2023-09-10T18:04:23Z Asisi Games Co2 14 wikitext text/x-wiki Saint Vennes is a town in the [[Orsk Federation]] == Categories == [[:Category:Settlements]] [[:Category:Settlements in the Orsk Federation]] 14f8cf027efa24757a0881598a98bb7725e089ee 6 67 188 2023-09-10T21:30:27Z Kazi'aikcan 9 wikitext text/x-wiki Flag of norreik 315863e5fb398c095e322fcd303710600e9c311b 6 68 189 2023-09-10T21:35:04Z Kazi'aikcan 9 wikitext text/x-wiki uihejvf 52f8962bbf2307a40d4ee97ab420ef8e3198d61e 6 69 190 2023-09-10T21:52:09Z Kazi'aikcan 9 wikitext text/x-wiki Mabo 66d44fd4029f09c4f31491f588ab5ca32d568472 6 70 191 2023-09-10T21:53:12Z Kazi'aikcan 9 wikitext text/x-wiki mabo2 68eb2205d8497c76977811250ae372519d69eb70 14 58 195 127 2023-09-10T22:14:04Z Qloak 10 added Skelmrelm wikitext text/x-wiki This Category is a page storing all the countries. == A == [[Altar]] == C == [[Chkyeb]] == E == [[Eddenarah]] == G == [[Gondolinius|The Great Imperial Republic of Gondolinius]] == H == [[Hakha Rakhine]] [[Homaric Pact Nations]] == M == [[Marricopra]] == N == [[Norreik]] == O == [[Oralotzo]] [[Orsk Federation]] == S == [[Saldon]] [[Santa Marino]] [[Silencio Industries]] [[Skelmrelm]] 0fdd1fa1605670d6c9159270fd69350b68e95177 0 13 198 115 2023-09-10T22:43:13Z BellatriX 4 /* The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 */ wikitext text/x-wiki They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya. Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. (Disclaimer: this is - as of September 6th, 2023 - basically a history of Eddenarah, but I'm trying to touch base on everything else too) == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate the Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and while Eddenarah had the upper hand at first, the Lobsterites gradually improved. When they unified under the name Children of Nephrops then they routed Eddenarah off of the islands. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish were the Children of Nephrops (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Children of Nephrops (CoN) just to say "HA!" The CoN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The CoN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the CoN's capital. The CoN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The CoN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The CoN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the CoN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the CoN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the CoN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the CoN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the CoN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. South Seseco is also a place of many inventions, the [[Traffic Signal]] (1872, [[Saint Vennes]], [[Deprivique]]), [[Printing Press]] (1450, [[Burges]], [[Grand Duchy of Burges]]) and [[Controlled Access Motorway]] (1913, [[Kvev]], [[Tornobyl]]) were all invented here. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chkyeb]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the west (1530): The west was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Let's start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting each other. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. Deprivique natives originated from somewhere along the [[Vizantus Strait]]. They left their homeland of Dovranland due to a war with some neighboring power. We don't know how long ago this was, but best historians estimate that it was during the Post Flood era. [[File:0e5138d4-7ec9-4f38-9982-3b7a8d3af6d5.jpg|center|thumb|Mural in Petersport depicting the natives of Deprivique leaving their homeland circa 1198]]Deprivique was two kingdoms, the Grand Duchy of Hallem and the Kingdom of Leynes (now Petersport). They united in 748 to form the [[Deprivique Union]]. They were invaded by their neighbour, [[Letoque]] to the north ~912 during the [[Letoque Conquests]]. While they were independant not much notable happened. ===== Jenois ===== Today [[Jenois]] is a disputed canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] (Officially it is part of the canton [[Letoque Jenois]]) It does not have a very unique culture at all, they are basically just people from the Chkyiv Mountains who emmigrated west and met the Letoque people. Something that is notable about them is that they were hit incredibly hard during the Lacertiliitis. Almost three quarters of their population died, half of the remaining emmigrated. The city of Jenois was almost empty by 1900. They repopulated at very impressive rates, and today the region has a population of 1.4 Million. ===== Letoque ===== Letoque is and always was the dominant power in the West. The people of Letoque (Letiquain)'s origins are unknown but we think they came from the same place as the Tornoblites. The capital of Letoque is [[Saint Vennes]]. It is the second most populous canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] but has no city over one million in population. Over it's history Letoque has had a very unique take on land, similar to that of the Russian Empire. This encouraged people to spread out which is why they are significantly less dense than the other cantons. Letoque is home to Jenois, a disputed canton in it's east. Letoque lost land and was eventually destroyed in the [[Letoque Wars]] which lasted from 1610 - 1670 and main belligrents were the Verst Empire and Grand Duchy of Burges (GDB seceded from the Chkyeb Uniate in 1620). ==== Summary ==== South Seseco has had a history of civil wars, disease and violent wars, however it has also had times of prosperity. The "Seseco Golden Age" was the time from 1723 - 1803 both started and ended by war, but during which there was no fighting and instead inventions, discoveries and industrialisation. == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the CoN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The CoN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame, which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the CoN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == For those of you who are too lazy to read: basically the three powers of the Centrius Basin were at war off and on for 73 (and a quarter!) years. This was the last major war of this type, and ended with the CoN regaining control of the islands (for now...). In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the CoN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in late 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the CoN capital, while the CoN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). After half a year of this, all sides realized that this type of warfare was entirely unsustainable, and called a year-and-a-half ceasefire to build up their resources. In 1304 AY, Marricopra launched an assault on Centrius, and held and defended the island for ten years. The CoN was too busy rebuilding its capital for what was at least the third time, and so it was no difficulty for Marricopra to hold back the meager Ashmanschkri army, until 1314, when the CoN rejoined the battle, heading straight for the Marricopran capital. It was the worst destruction the area had seen since the Flood. Marricopra immediately moved backwards to defend their capital, and while the CoN-Marricopra conflict went on in what remained of the Valley of Pryoriya, Ashmanschkra took the islands. Marricopra eventually pushed back the CoN to the far East. The loss from this set of fighting sparked another ceasefire, this one lasting four and a half years. This truce was broken by the CoN, who made their first stab at Ashmanschkra. This time it was successful, and they officially owned the Ashmanschrki army (Sevdrolet refused to join this war. This created a rift in the country, but more on this later) for a time. However, the Army of Ashmanschkra the Inevitable refused to be owned by any other faction, and rebelled against the CoN generals, which put a slight dent in the CoN army, but mostly distracted them from the Marricopra 1326 invasion of Centrius. Marricopra owned the islands for another 5 years, in which the CoN ''and'' Ashmanschkra banded together (ironically) to shove them out, but the Marricopran army was so large they couldn't manage this until 1332, and then Ashmanschkra turned on the CoN, and they fought it out for a few years while Marricopra went back to rebuilding and making poisons from the lizards in the only national reserve, which was overhunted anyway. The longest ceasefire was from 1336-1343, after which Marricopra and the CoN simultaneously pulled support from the Order (both North and South). Ashmanschkra admitted defeat and decided to focus on its quickly worsening relations with the pacifist Sevdrolet. Once the Order got involved, almost everything within view was burned to the ground, Centrius became so inhabitable everyone wondered why they still fought over it, and King Vilassey of Marricopra died in battle, leaving no heirs but his niece, Nichra, who became the first Queen of Marricopra. She had little to no popular support, as she was a woman, but proved to be a brilliant strategist and brought Marricopra to an almost decisive victory at the Fourty-Fifth Battle of Great Nephrops Island, until the southern Order turned on them and Marricopra surrendered and shut its doors to the world. The CoN claimed Centrius, renamed it the Grand Lobster Islands, and the Order went home. In 1374, the Treaty of the Lobsterites was signed (grudgingly) by CoN general Parsley and Queen Nichra, who was at the very least lauded for her dignity in the face of such a crushing defeat. == The Fireplague Epidemic: 1406-1455 == The disease technically began spreading in 1402, but given the slowness of travel at the time, it didn't spread beyond the Great and True (Northern) Order until 1406. The One and Only Everlasting Flame apparently had microbes in them. Harmful ones. And after centuries of humans tending to the fire and its odd microbiome, they latched onto the Arch-Priests, and spread throughout the Mocze Desert's tent cities. It began with the Chief Arch-Priest, Bengellus, burning with a 106 degree fever. The next day, all four other Arch-Priests woke up with the same fever, and Bengellus broke out in hives said to burn "as if the Eternal Fire had itself showered its infernal sparks upon the skin." On the third day, Bengellus began vomiting blood. On the fourth, he died. The four remaining Arch-Priests all exhibited the same symptoms, but not within the same time frame. Hibriz died the day the boils appeared; Porops had a fever for a week and then got the boils and coughed blood (and died) all on the same day; Caprokcil only ever had boils, which lasted a week and a half and then he died with no warning; and Nezrel had a fever for two days, boils for a week and a half, and eventually recovered with only some light scarring. From Nezrel and the other four's caretakers, the disease spread across Mocze without warning and with no cure. Only a quarter of the Northern Order survives, and they start lighting fires in what is by then proto-Gondolinius, which spreads the disease through the southern Order like wildfire, and across the ocean to Marricopra via merchant ships. Marricopra gladly passes this on to the CoN and Ashmansckra via Altar (which has begun to rebel). All the guards on Great Nephrops Island die from the disease, but no one dares go replace them for fear of becoming infected themselves. Centrius goes unclaimed - it is during this time that Sevdrolet goes and unofficially names it the Central Archipelago, and the name sticks. The disease is sent north to Odorslat, but very few die as the cold climate cannot sustain the archaea-bacteria [''and yes, I'm basing the vaguely scientific nature of fireplague off of my 7th grade science class'']. What little of the disease can spread makes its way to Del Sacarmo/KoPWARToD, where it eventually dies out but destabilizes the government enough for a complete overhaul ['''Asisi - this is your chance to step in and write your history]'''. After killing about a fifth of the Marricopran population (including the monarch, but they had a direct heir), more than half of Mocze, and a sixth of the rest of the world, the disease eventually dies down in 1455, as the population had naturally immunized itself, save for a few sparse outbreaks in remote areas. == For Those Of You Who Wish to Write Your Own Histories == While the Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War is going on, everyone else is distracted with their own problems (except for you, Gondolinius - you got pulled into the war too). If you want to write your own history, here are some worldwide events to keep in mind: - The Fireplague Epidemic (1406-1455 AY), which originated in the Mocze desert (likely wiped out the Northern Order, if anyone wants to take the reins with this) - The War of the Chicken Pie, which started over a cooking competition held in the KoPWARToD, which was already having its own internal struggles that several countries simply threw themselves into (1507-1509 AY) - The Second Fireplague Epidemic (1509 - ended the WotCP - to 1576 AY; off and on throughout these years) - The split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet, which gave us the two desert islands south of Centrius (1599 AY). I might jump in with this one and make it a war, but for now feel free to keep this in mind as you write your own history - The economic collapse of 1684: feel free to make this happen however you like, as long as it does, and lasts more than two years. - The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat. This destroyed the capital and led to the collapse of the Republic, leading to the country being divided up into several groups (including Saldon) - Lacertiliitis (1837): a disease originating in the Great Lacertilia National Park (Marricopra) that spread to the greater population and made it across the sea to Oralotzo, Saldon, and whatever state Gondolinius was in at the time. - Lacertiliitis/Fireplague Meltdown: Doctors and scientists from all corners of the world scramble to the Central Archipelago, which is declared a neutral zone for the time, to create a vaccination for the mutated Lacertiliitis-Fireplague disease, which has rendered large portions of Mocze and Gusmoas inhabitable. This disease wipes out almost all of Del Sarcarmo, half of Seseco, and the monarch of Marricopra, leading to a general state of panic. Most of the world goes into COVID-style lockdown, making the economy grind to a halt and leaving many countries unable to govern themselves. Circa 1895 AY. - The Second Apocalypse (1906). This is the final event leading to where our nations are today. Resulting from a second Lacertiliitis-Fireplague pandemic combined with the Fire Wars, in which the Northern Order sets fire to Gondolinius, Gondolinius declares war on Marricopra, and then goes back and declares war on the Order. About a third of the world's population is lost. The world stabilizes ~1920, which eventually leads to where we are today (and why everyone is so salty at each other). e92b154dd52e759d4bd47753df46acedbef3c4ac 0 71 199 2023-09-10T22:44:06Z Scatel2143 13 Created page with "'''National Hakha Rakhine Communist Party Authority (NHRCPA)''' !Working Soon!" wikitext text/x-wiki '''National Hakha Rakhine Communist Party Authority (NHRCPA)''' !Working Soon! c48409ae16f0538796de61f9a2332df7a1bdf838 6 72 200 2023-09-10T23:09:48Z Qloak 10 wikitext text/x-wiki Skelmrelm ebd7cae25c2749df4fc73a38f03304e222f8beaf 0 73 201 2023-09-10T23:10:39Z Qloak 10 Created page wikitext text/x-wiki = Skelmrelm = [[File:Skelmrelm.png|thumb|A picture of Skelmrelm in Year 0.]] Skelmrelm is a country on the Odorslat continent. Skelmrelm and the Republic of Saldon are the only two countries inhabiting the continent. Skelmrelm is a Constitutional Monarchy, and has a population of 30 million people. It has 8 cities, each one having a population of 3.75 million. == Lore == Skelmrelm was a product of the flood. The path being cleared for nations to start their rise, Skelmrelm was one of the first to do so. They were a simple and kind people; simply wanting to settle down and come together to prevent future disasters from destroying them completely. And Skelmrelm was calm. For a long time. Of course, they got involved in wars that threatened their livelyhood, but they never got severely damaged. They had established cities in Odorslat, Mocze, and Seseco. However, in Mocze, 1406, a problem arised. A scientist, trying to find the secret to immortality, discovered a disease. This disease, called Fireplague, shortened your lifetime, making it so you would only live for a few days after you caught the disease. It would compress your lungs very slowly and painfully, and your brain would go delusional after a few hours, causing you to go insane. The doctor tried making a cure, but got infected. The disease spread like wildfire; soon, the city of Vredestad was gone to the masses of infected dead bodies. The disease would spread all the way throughout Mocze, rendering it inhabitable. Other nations around the world managed to stop it from spreading to other continents, and the world was calm again. For 103 years. In 1509, the nation of [[Gondolinus]] wanted to clear Mocze of Fireplague. And so, they fashioned suits, meant to protect against Fireplague. These suits worked for the most part, however, there was a flaw in some of them. This lead to some people being infected, and going back to Gondolinus (and other nations) without noticing. Outbreaks in Gondolin, Skelmrelm, the WotCP, and others, were popping up more often. The nations tried to stop these from spreading to their mainland, which, for the most part, they were successful. However, the WotCP did not survive. By this time, a cure was being researched. 5 years later, in 1581, it was finally created and used to render Mocze inhabitable again. And so, Fireplague was removed from the world... almost. Many years later, in 1683, the economy was great. Trade was bustling, and they were the main market for goods such as timber, food, and minerals. However, a terrorist attack done on the city of Liefde destroyed many trade centers. The terrorist attack led to thousands of homes being destroyed, and Liefde became a ghost town. This brought down the economy so much, in 1684, the economy collapsed. Many people lived in poverty. Since so many nations depended on Skelmrelm for so much, they too reached an economic low. This lasted for 4 years. After the economy slowly recovered, another grave disaster hit the nation. They had full control over the nation of Odorslat; it was where they originally came from, and it was where their capital was located. However, in 1775, a huge earthquake caused the republic to collapse, causing the nation to split into several others. One of the nations was Saldon. In 1837, a disease called Lacertiliitis had popped up. It caused it's victims saliva to turn into hydrochloric acid, causing them a lot of pain, and death in 2 days. Skelmrelm had funded the research for the cure of Lacertiliitis, however, before the cure arrived, a new strand of it was discovered. It was a combination of Lacertiliitis and Fireplague, called the Lacertiliitis-Fireplague Virus. Every Skelmish scientist banded together with scientists from other nations to find a cure to it, and every nation went into lockdown. This caused another economic collapse in Skelmrelm. It lasted until the virus was cured, in 1900 AY. == Cities == # Skelm. This is the capital city of Skelmrelm. Skelm means "sneaky" or "sly" in Afrikaans. # Veiligheid.

Skelmrelm and the Republic of [[Saldon]] are the only two countries inhabiting the continent. Skelmrelm is a [[Constitutional Monarchy]], and has a population of 30 million people. It has 8 cities. == Lore == Skelmrelm was a product of [[The Flood]]. The path being cleared for nations to start their rise, Skelmrelm was one of the first to do so. They were a simple and kind people; simply wanting to settle down and come together to prevent future disasters from destroying them completely. And Skelmrelm was calm. For a long time. Of course, they got involved in wars that threatened their livelyhood, but they never got severely damaged. They had established cities in Odorslat, [[Mocze]], and [[Seseco]]. However, in Mocze, 1406, a problem arised. A scientist, trying to find the secret to immortality, discovered a disease. This disease, called [[Fireplague]], shortened your lifetime, making it so you would only live for a few days after you caught the disease. It would compress your lungs very slowly and painfully, and your brain would go delusional after a few hours, causing you to go insane. The doctor tried making a cure, but got infected. The disease spread like wildfire; soon, the city of [[Vredestad]] was gone to the masses of infected dead bodies. The disease would spread all the way throughout Mocze, rendering it inhabitable. Other nations around the world managed to stop it from spreading to other continents, and the world was calm again. For 103 years. In 1509, the nation of [[Gondolinus]] wanted to clear Mocze of Fireplague. And so, they fashioned suits, meant to protect against Fireplague. These suits worked for the most part, however, there was a flaw in some of them. This lead to some people being infected, and going back to Gondolinus (and other nations) without noticing. Outbreaks in Gondolinus, Skelmrelm, and others, were popping up more often. The nations tried to stop these from spreading to their mainland, which, for the most part, they were successful. However, the [[War of the Chicken Pie]] stopped because of it.. By this time, a cure was being researched. 5 years later, in 1581, it was finally created and used to render Mocze inhabitable again. And so, Fireplague was removed from the world... almost. Many years later, in 1683, the economy was great. Trade was bustling, and they were the main market for goods such as timber, food, and minerals. However, a terrorist attack done on the city of [[Liefde]] destroyed many trade centers. The terrorist attack led to thousands of homes being destroyed, and Liefde became a ghost town. This brought down the economy so much, in 1684, the economy collapsed. Many people lived in poverty. Since so many nations depended on Skelmrelm for so much, they too reached an economic low. This lasted for 4 years. After the economy slowly recovered, another grave disaster hit the nation. They had full control over the nation of Odorslat; it was where they originally came from, and it was where their capital was located. However, in 1775, a huge earthquake caused the republic to collapse, causing the nation to split into several others. One of the nations was Saldon. In 1837, a disease called [[Lacertiliitis]] had popped up. It caused it's victims saliva to turn into hydrochloric acid, causing them a lot of pain, and death in 2 days. Skelmrelm had funded the research for the cure of Lacertiliitis, however, before the cure arrived, a new strand of it was discovered. It was a combination of Lacertiliitis and Fireplague, called the [[Lacertiliitis-Fireplague]] Virus. Every Skelmish scientist banded together with scientists from other nations to find a cure to it, and every nation went into lockdown. This caused another economic collapse in Skelmrelm. It lasted until the virus was cured, in 1900 AY. == Cities == # [[Skelm]]. This is the capital city of Skelmrelm. Skelm means "sneaky" or "sly" in Afrikaans. # [[Veiligheid]].

Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. (Disclaimer: this is - as of September 6th, 2023 - basically a history of Eddenarah, but I'm trying to touch base on everything else too) == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate the Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and while Eddenarah had the upper hand at first, the Lobsterites gradually improved. When they unified under the name Children of Nephrops then they routed Eddenarah off of the islands. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish were the Children of Nephrops (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Children of Nephrops (CoN) just to say "HA!" The CoN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The CoN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the CoN's capital. The CoN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The CoN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The CoN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the CoN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the CoN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the CoN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the CoN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the CoN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. South Seseco is also a place of many inventions, the [[Traffic Signal]] (1872, [[Saint Vennes]], [[Deprivique]]), [[Printing Press]] (1450, [[Burges]], [[Grand Duchy of Burges]]) and [[Controlled Access Motorway]] (1913, [[Kvev]], [[Tornobyl]]) were all invented here. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chkyeb]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the west (1530): The west was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Let's start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting each other. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. Deprivique natives originated from somewhere along the [[Vizantus Strait]]. They left their homeland of Dovranland due to a war with some neighboring power. We don't know how long ago this was, but best historians estimate that it was during the Post Flood era. [[File:0e5138d4-7ec9-4f38-9982-3b7a8d3af6d5.jpg|center|thumb|Mural in Petersport depicting the natives of Deprivique leaving their homeland circa 1198]]Deprivique was two kingdoms, the Grand Duchy of Hallem and the Kingdom of Leynes (now Petersport). They united in 748 to form the [[Deprivique Union]]. They were invaded by their neighbour, [[Letoque]] to the north ~912 during the [[Letoque Conquests]]. While they were independant not much notable happened. ===== Jenois ===== Today [[Jenois]] is a disputed canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] (Officially it is part of the canton [[Letoque Jenois]]) It does not have a very unique culture at all, they are basically just people from the Chkyiv Mountains who emmigrated west and met the Letoque people. Something that is notable about them is that they were hit incredibly hard during the Lacertiliitis. Almost three quarters of their population died, half of the remaining emmigrated. The city of Jenois was almost empty by 1900. They repopulated at very impressive rates, and today the region has a population of 1.4 Million. ===== Letoque ===== Letoque is and always was the dominant power in the West. The people of Letoque (Letiquain)'s origins are unknown but we think they came from the same place as the Tornoblites. The capital of Letoque is [[Saint Vennes]]. It is the second most populous canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] but has no city over one million in population. Over it's history Letoque has had a very unique take on land, similar to that of the Russian Empire. This encouraged people to spread out which is why they are significantly less dense than the other cantons. Letoque is home to Jenois, a disputed canton in it's east. Letoque lost land and was eventually destroyed in the [[Letoque Wars]] which lasted from 1610 - 1670 and main belligrents were the Verst Empire and Grand Duchy of Burges (GDB seceded from the Chkyeb Uniate in 1620). ==== Summary ==== South Seseco has had a history of civil wars, disease and violent wars, however it has also had times of prosperity. The "Seseco Golden Age" was the time from 1723 - 1803 both started and ended by war, but during which there was no fighting and instead inventions, discoveries and industrialisation. == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the CoN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The CoN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame, which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the CoN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == For those of you who are too lazy to read: basically the three powers of the Centrius Basin were at war off and on for 73 (and a quarter!) years. This was the last major war of this type, and ended with the CoN regaining control of the islands (for now...). In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the CoN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in late 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the CoN capital, while the CoN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). After half a year of this, all sides realized that this type of warfare was entirely unsustainable, and called a year-and-a-half ceasefire to build up their resources. In 1304 AY, Marricopra launched an assault on Centrius, and held and defended the island for ten years. The CoN was too busy rebuilding its capital for what was at least the third time, and so it was no difficulty for Marricopra to hold back the meager Ashmanschkri army, until 1314, when the CoN rejoined the battle, heading straight for the Marricopran capital. It was the worst destruction the area had seen since the Flood. Marricopra immediately moved backwards to defend their capital, and while the CoN-Marricopra conflict went on in what remained of the Valley of Pryoriya, Ashmanschkra took the islands. Marricopra eventually pushed back the CoN to the far East. The loss from this set of fighting sparked another ceasefire, this one lasting four and a half years. This truce was broken by the CoN, who made their first stab at Ashmanschkra. This time it was successful, and they officially owned the Ashmanschrki army (Sevdrolet refused to join this war. This created a rift in the country, but more on this later) for a time. However, the Army of Ashmanschkra the Inevitable refused to be owned by any other faction, and rebelled against the CoN generals, which put a slight dent in the CoN army, but mostly distracted them from the Marricopra 1326 invasion of Centrius. Marricopra owned the islands for another 5 years, in which the CoN ''and'' Ashmanschkra banded together (ironically) to shove them out, but the Marricopran army was so large they couldn't manage this until 1332, and then Ashmanschkra turned on the CoN, and they fought it out for a few years while Marricopra went back to rebuilding and making poisons from the lizards in the only national reserve, which was overhunted anyway. The longest ceasefire was from 1336-1343, after which Marricopra and the CoN simultaneously pulled support from the Order (both North and South). Ashmanschkra admitted defeat and decided to focus on its quickly worsening relations with the pacifist Sevdrolet. Once the Order got involved, almost everything within view was burned to the ground, Centrius became so inhabitable everyone wondered why they still fought over it, and King Vilassey of Marricopra died in battle, leaving no heirs but his niece, Nichra, who became the first Queen of Marricopra. She had little to no popular support, as she was a woman, but proved to be a brilliant strategist and brought Marricopra to an almost decisive victory at the Fourty-Fifth Battle of Great Nephrops Island, until the southern Order turned on them and Marricopra surrendered and shut its doors to the world. The CoN claimed Centrius, renamed it the Grand Lobster Islands, and the Order went home. In 1374, the Treaty of the Lobsterites was signed (grudgingly) by CoN general Parsley and Queen Nichra, who was at the very least lauded for her dignity in the face of such a crushing defeat. == The Fireplague Epidemic: 1406-1455 == The disease technically began spreading in 1402, but given the slowness of travel at the time, it didn't spread beyond the Great and True (Northern) Order until 1406. The One and Only Everlasting Flame apparently had microbes in them. Harmful ones. And after centuries of humans tending to the fire and its odd microbiome, they latched onto the Arch-Priests, and spread throughout the Mocze Desert's tent cities. It began with the Chief Arch-Priest, Bengellus, burning with a 106 degree fever. The next day, all four other Arch-Priests woke up with the same fever, and Bengellus broke out in hives said to burn "as if the Eternal Fire had itself showered its infernal sparks upon the skin." On the third day, Bengellus began vomiting blood. On the fourth, he died. The four remaining Arch-Priests all exhibited the same symptoms, but not within the same time frame. Hibriz died the day the boils appeared; Porops had a fever for a week and then got the boils and coughed blood (and died) all on the same day; Caprokcil only ever had boils, which lasted a week and a half and then he died with no warning; and Nezrel had a fever for two days, boils for a week and a half, and eventually recovered with only some light scarring. From Nezrel and the other four's caretakers, the disease spread across Mocze without warning and with no cure. Only a quarter of the Northern Order survives, and they start lighting fires in what is by then proto-Gondolinius, which spreads the disease through the southern Order like wildfire, and across the ocean to Marricopra via merchant ships. Marricopra gladly passes this on to the CoN and Ashmansckra via Altar (which has begun to rebel). All the guards on Great Nephrops Island die from the disease, but no one dares go replace them for fear of becoming infected themselves. Centrius goes unclaimed - it is during this time that Sevdrolet goes and unofficially names it the Central Archipelago, and the name sticks. The disease is sent north to Odorslat, but very few die as the cold climate cannot sustain the archaea-bacteria [''and yes, I'm basing the vaguely scientific nature of fireplague off of my 7th grade science class'']. What little of the disease can spread makes its way to Del Sacarmo/KoPWARToD, where it eventually dies out but destabilizes the government enough for a complete overhaul ['''Asisi - this is your chance to step in and write your history]'''. After killing about a fifth of the Marricopran population (including the monarch, but they had a direct heir), more than half of Mocze, and a sixth of the rest of the world, the disease eventually dies down in 1455, as the population had naturally immunized itself, save for a few sparse outbreaks in remote areas. == The War of the Chicken Pie: 1507-1509 == In 1507 AY, what remained of the KoPWARToD (a small scrap of land on Seseco; now Hakha Rakhine) held the First (and only) International Baking Competition, inviting famous bakers worldwide. Among them were Gondolinius's Oragor Mentaylis, who owned the World's Largest Bakery (and nobody dared fight him on that); Sevdrolet's Jimalangang Kobrob; and the KoPWARToD's Happra Ling King, whose alliance was to the Rakhine rebellion brewing up north. Upon his winning the competition, the judges had no idea what country to award the top prize to, and so (as is, of course, usual) war was declared between the KoPWARToD and Hakha Rakhine. Marricopra threw themselves into the war, angry over the loss of Ashmanschkra and Centrius centuries before (and from getting last place in the competition), and led by Queen Ingelle "the Mad." They quickly drew out after the mysterious death of Ingelle and the ascension of King Billy Bob the Sixth, who gave the KoPWARToD several million dollars in reparations and an apology letter. What remained of the Northern Order finally wiped themselves out by throwing themselves and their disease-ridden bodies into the war. This ended with the Treaty of the Kitchen, the formation of Hakha Rakhine and the final dissolution of the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and the subsequent breakout of fireplague across Seseco. == The Second Fireplague Epidemic: 1509-1576 == The Seseco epidemic ended within a few months (see: the first fireplague epidemic and how that worked on Odorslat), but spread back south to Mocze via merchants from Santa Marino and then to Gondolinius, who sent diseased persons to Silencio and Marricopra out of spite (remember - they had their beginnings as religious fanatics). The two almost declared war in return, but then half of their armies fell ill and they decided otherwise. This epidemic went off and on for the next seventy years, with each breakout having epicenters in oddly diverse places, among them being the new Hakha Rakhine, the southernmost 2 blocks of a city in Odorslat, and Croissant Island. This epidemic ended with the Blizzard to End All Blizzards, which lasted exactly 3 days but was enough to kill the archaea-bacteria worldwide. The disease was confined to the We Hate Fire Quarantine Hospital, which was set up in the Mocze desert over the original site of the fire to ensure no one lighted it again. I would say there was peace from here on out, but there isn't, because this was when I remembered that tectonic plates were a thing. == The Split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet: 1599 and a couple years after that == The large, desert-y island of Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet, named after the two people groups that lived there, was situated on a fault line that became more precarious with each year after the Flood, until it finally broke apart during an earthquake and tsunami just south of the Central Archipelago. Still a WIP but there's not much else to write because this is a problem with Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet and not the rest of the world == For Those Of You Who Wish to Write Your Own Histories == While the Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War is going on, everyone else is distracted with their own problems (except for you, Gondolinius - you got pulled into the war too). If you want to write your own history, here are some worldwide events to keep in mind: - The Fireplague Epidemic (1406-1455 AY), which originated in the Mocze desert (wiped out most of the Northern Order) - The War of the Chicken Pie, which started over a cooking competition held in the KoPWARToD, which was already having its own internal struggles that several countries simply threw themselves into (1507-1509 AY) - The Second Fireplague Epidemic (1509 - ended the WotCP - to 1576 AY; off and on throughout these years) - The split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet, which gave us the two desert islands south of Centrius (1599 AY). I might jump in with this one and make it a war, but for now feel free to keep this in mind as you write your own history - The economic collapse of 1684: War in Skelmrelm, a major world power, led to its dependents' economies going through a Great Depression-ish situation. - The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat. This destroyed the capital and led to the collapse of the Republic, leading to the country being divided up into several groups (including Saldon) - Lacertiliitis (1837): a disease originating in the Great Lacertilia National Park (Marricopra) that spread to the greater population and made it across the sea to Oralotzo, Saldon, and whatever state Gondolinius was in at the time. Turns your saliva to hydrochloric acid (ouch); death within 2 days unless you have a specific gene that repels it, or if you've gotten Lizard Pox before. - Lacertiliitis/Fireplague Meltdown: Doctors and scientists from all corners of the world scramble to the Central Archipelago, which is declared a neutral zone for the time, to create a vaccination for the mutated Lacertiliitis-Fireplague disease, which has rendered large portions of Mocze and Gusmoas inhabitable. This disease wipes out almost all of Del Sarcarmo, half of Seseco, and the monarch of Marricopra, leading to a general state of panic. Most of the world goes into COVID-style lockdown, making the economy grind to a halt and leaving many countries unable to govern themselves. Circa 1895 AY. - The Second Apocalypse (1906). This is the final event leading to where our nations are today. Resulting from a second Lacertiliitis-Fireplague pandemic combined with the Fire Wars, in which the Northern Order sets fire to Gondolinius, Gondolinius declares war on Marricopra, and then goes back and declares war on the Order. About a third of the world's population is lost. The world stabilizes ~1920, which eventually leads to where we are today (and why everyone is so salty at each other). 400fb723ae6ca88580fd2e2b4946ffe5ea64424a 212 206 2023-09-12T00:08:23Z BellatriX 4 /* The Split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet: 1599 and a couple years after that */ wikitext text/x-wiki They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya. Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. (Disclaimer: this is - as of September 6th, 2023 - basically a history of Eddenarah, but I'm trying to touch base on everything else too) == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate the Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and while Eddenarah had the upper hand at first, the Lobsterites gradually improved. When they unified under the name Children of Nephrops then they routed Eddenarah off of the islands. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish were the Children of Nephrops (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Children of Nephrops (CoN) just to say "HA!" The CoN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The CoN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the CoN's capital. The CoN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The CoN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The CoN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the CoN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the CoN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the CoN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the CoN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the CoN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. South Seseco is also a place of many inventions, the [[Traffic Signal]] (1872, [[Saint Vennes]], [[Deprivique]]), [[Printing Press]] (1450, [[Burges]], [[Grand Duchy of Burges]]) and [[Controlled Access Motorway]] (1913, [[Kvev]], [[Tornobyl]]) were all invented here. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chkyeb]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the west (1530): The west was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Let's start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting each other. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. Deprivique natives originated from somewhere along the [[Vizantus Strait]]. They left their homeland of Dovranland due to a war with some neighboring power. We don't know how long ago this was, but best historians estimate that it was during the Post Flood era. [[File:0e5138d4-7ec9-4f38-9982-3b7a8d3af6d5.jpg|center|thumb|Mural in Petersport depicting the natives of Deprivique leaving their homeland circa 1198]]Deprivique was two kingdoms, the Grand Duchy of Hallem and the Kingdom of Leynes (now Petersport). They united in 748 to form the [[Deprivique Union]]. They were invaded by their neighbour, [[Letoque]] to the north ~912 during the [[Letoque Conquests]]. While they were independant not much notable happened. ===== Jenois ===== Today [[Jenois]] is a disputed canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] (Officially it is part of the canton [[Letoque Jenois]]) It does not have a very unique culture at all, they are basically just people from the Chkyiv Mountains who emmigrated west and met the Letoque people. Something that is notable about them is that they were hit incredibly hard during the Lacertiliitis. Almost three quarters of their population died, half of the remaining emmigrated. The city of Jenois was almost empty by 1900. They repopulated at very impressive rates, and today the region has a population of 1.4 Million. ===== Letoque ===== Letoque is and always was the dominant power in the West. The people of Letoque (Letiquain)'s origins are unknown but we think they came from the same place as the Tornoblites. The capital of Letoque is [[Saint Vennes]]. It is the second most populous canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] but has no city over one million in population. Over it's history Letoque has had a very unique take on land, similar to that of the Russian Empire. This encouraged people to spread out which is why they are significantly less dense than the other cantons. Letoque is home to Jenois, a disputed canton in it's east. Letoque lost land and was eventually destroyed in the [[Letoque Wars]] which lasted from 1610 - 1670 and main belligrents were the Verst Empire and Grand Duchy of Burges (GDB seceded from the Chkyeb Uniate in 1620). ==== Summary ==== South Seseco has had a history of civil wars, disease and violent wars, however it has also had times of prosperity. The "Seseco Golden Age" was the time from 1723 - 1803 both started and ended by war, but during which there was no fighting and instead inventions, discoveries and industrialisation. == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the CoN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The CoN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame, which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the CoN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == For those of you who are too lazy to read: basically the three powers of the Centrius Basin were at war off and on for 73 (and a quarter!) years. This was the last major war of this type, and ended with the CoN regaining control of the islands (for now...). In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the CoN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in late 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the CoN capital, while the CoN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). After half a year of this, all sides realized that this type of warfare was entirely unsustainable, and called a year-and-a-half ceasefire to build up their resources. In 1304 AY, Marricopra launched an assault on Centrius, and held and defended the island for ten years. The CoN was too busy rebuilding its capital for what was at least the third time, and so it was no difficulty for Marricopra to hold back the meager Ashmanschkri army, until 1314, when the CoN rejoined the battle, heading straight for the Marricopran capital. It was the worst destruction the area had seen since the Flood. Marricopra immediately moved backwards to defend their capital, and while the CoN-Marricopra conflict went on in what remained of the Valley of Pryoriya, Ashmanschkra took the islands. Marricopra eventually pushed back the CoN to the far East. The loss from this set of fighting sparked another ceasefire, this one lasting four and a half years. This truce was broken by the CoN, who made their first stab at Ashmanschkra. This time it was successful, and they officially owned the Ashmanschrki army (Sevdrolet refused to join this war. This created a rift in the country, but more on this later) for a time. However, the Army of Ashmanschkra the Inevitable refused to be owned by any other faction, and rebelled against the CoN generals, which put a slight dent in the CoN army, but mostly distracted them from the Marricopra 1326 invasion of Centrius. Marricopra owned the islands for another 5 years, in which the CoN ''and'' Ashmanschkra banded together (ironically) to shove them out, but the Marricopran army was so large they couldn't manage this until 1332, and then Ashmanschkra turned on the CoN, and they fought it out for a few years while Marricopra went back to rebuilding and making poisons from the lizards in the only national reserve, which was overhunted anyway. The longest ceasefire was from 1336-1343, after which Marricopra and the CoN simultaneously pulled support from the Order (both North and South). Ashmanschkra admitted defeat and decided to focus on its quickly worsening relations with the pacifist Sevdrolet. Once the Order got involved, almost everything within view was burned to the ground, Centrius became so inhabitable everyone wondered why they still fought over it, and King Vilassey of Marricopra died in battle, leaving no heirs but his niece, Nichra, who became the first Queen of Marricopra. She had little to no popular support, as she was a woman, but proved to be a brilliant strategist and brought Marricopra to an almost decisive victory at the Fourty-Fifth Battle of Great Nephrops Island, until the southern Order turned on them and Marricopra surrendered and shut its doors to the world. The CoN claimed Centrius, renamed it the Grand Lobster Islands, and the Order went home. In 1374, the Treaty of the Lobsterites was signed (grudgingly) by CoN general Parsley and Queen Nichra, who was at the very least lauded for her dignity in the face of such a crushing defeat. == The Fireplague Epidemic: 1406-1455 == The disease technically began spreading in 1402, but given the slowness of travel at the time, it didn't spread beyond the Great and True (Northern) Order until 1406. The One and Only Everlasting Flame apparently had microbes in them. Harmful ones. And after centuries of humans tending to the fire and its odd microbiome, they latched onto the Arch-Priests, and spread throughout the Mocze Desert's tent cities. It began with the Chief Arch-Priest, Bengellus, burning with a 106 degree fever. The next day, all four other Arch-Priests woke up with the same fever, and Bengellus broke out in hives said to burn "as if the Eternal Fire had itself showered its infernal sparks upon the skin." On the third day, Bengellus began vomiting blood. On the fourth, he died. The four remaining Arch-Priests all exhibited the same symptoms, but not within the same time frame. Hibriz died the day the boils appeared; Porops had a fever for a week and then got the boils and coughed blood (and died) all on the same day; Caprokcil only ever had boils, which lasted a week and a half and then he died with no warning; and Nezrel had a fever for two days, boils for a week and a half, and eventually recovered with only some light scarring. From Nezrel and the other four's caretakers, the disease spread across Mocze without warning and with no cure. Only a quarter of the Northern Order survives, and they start lighting fires in what is by then proto-Gondolinius, which spreads the disease through the southern Order like wildfire, and across the ocean to Marricopra via merchant ships. Marricopra gladly passes this on to the CoN and Ashmansckra via Altar (which has begun to rebel). All the guards on Great Nephrops Island die from the disease, but no one dares go replace them for fear of becoming infected themselves. Centrius goes unclaimed - it is during this time that Sevdrolet goes and unofficially names it the Central Archipelago, and the name sticks. The disease is sent north to Odorslat, but very few die as the cold climate cannot sustain the archaea-bacteria [''and yes, I'm basing the vaguely scientific nature of fireplague off of my 7th grade science class'']. What little of the disease can spread makes its way to Del Sacarmo/KoPWARToD, where it eventually dies out but destabilizes the government enough for a complete overhaul ['''Asisi - this is your chance to step in and write your history]'''. After killing about a fifth of the Marricopran population (including the monarch, but they had a direct heir), more than half of Mocze, and a sixth of the rest of the world, the disease eventually dies down in 1455, as the population had naturally immunized itself, save for a few sparse outbreaks in remote areas. == The War of the Chicken Pie: 1507-1509 == In 1507 AY, what remained of the KoPWARToD (a small scrap of land on Seseco; now Hakha Rakhine) held the First (and only) International Baking Competition, inviting famous bakers worldwide. Among them were Gondolinius's Oragor Mentaylis, who owned the World's Largest Bakery (and nobody dared fight him on that); Sevdrolet's Jimalangang Kobrob; and the KoPWARToD's Happra Ling King, whose alliance was to the Rakhine rebellion brewing up north. Upon his winning the competition, the judges had no idea what country to award the top prize to, and so (as is, of course, usual) war was declared between the KoPWARToD and Hakha Rakhine. Marricopra threw themselves into the war, angry over the loss of Ashmanschkra and Centrius centuries before (and from getting last place in the competition), and led by Queen Ingelle "the Mad." They quickly drew out after the mysterious death of Ingelle and the ascension of King Billy Bob the Sixth, who gave the KoPWARToD several million dollars in reparations and an apology letter. What remained of the Northern Order finally wiped themselves out by throwing themselves and their disease-ridden bodies into the war. This ended with the Treaty of the Kitchen, the formation of Hakha Rakhine and the final dissolution of the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and the subsequent breakout of fireplague across Seseco. == The Second Fireplague Epidemic: 1509-1576 == The Seseco epidemic ended within a few months (see: the first fireplague epidemic and how that worked on Odorslat), but spread back south to Mocze via merchants from Santa Marino and then to Gondolinius, who sent diseased persons to Silencio and Marricopra out of spite (remember - they had their beginnings as religious fanatics). The two almost declared war in return, but then half of their armies fell ill and they decided otherwise. This epidemic went off and on for the next seventy years, with each breakout having epicenters in oddly diverse places, among them being the new Hakha Rakhine, the southernmost 2 blocks of a city in Odorslat, and Croissant Island. This epidemic ended with the Blizzard to End All Blizzards, which lasted exactly 3 days but was enough to kill the archaea-bacteria worldwide. The disease was confined to the We Hate Fire Quarantine Hospital, which was set up in the Mocze desert over the original site of the fire to ensure no one lighted it again. I would say there was peace from here on out, but there isn't, because this was when I remembered that tectonic plates were a thing. == The Split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet: 1599 and a couple years after that == The large, desert-y island of Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet, named after the two people groups that lived there, was situated on a fault line that became more precarious with each year after the Flood, until it finally broke apart during an earthquake and tsunami just south of the Central Archipelago, creating an event known as the Mini-Flood. The country officially became two (it had been threatening to become so for a while), with Ashmanschkra becoming the war peoples of the west, eagerly helping Altar break from Marricopra, though the Altarians themselves didn't care too much as Marricopra provided financial support. Sevdrolet was a nation of pacifists, and remained strictly neutral in all the Central Basin conflicts, though it formed close ties with the CoN. They became known for their art, and hated being invaded. However, seeing as they had no army, this happened over and over despite their declaring independence and creating more and more statues of famous Sevdroletis, which no one cared to take down as they actually looked quite good. The world began to be split over "do you support Ashmanschkra or Sevdrolet?" but as neither nation had the patience to fight the other, it all came to naught and everyone stopped caring, because the islands had moved into such a location to be perfect for beach vacations and millions flooded there. == The Economic Collapse of 1684 == After a little less than a century of relative-but-not-really peace, war in Skelmrelm completely demolished the economy of said country, bringing upon general economic collapse worldwide, as just about everyone depended on Skelmrelm for one reason or another. Does this name sound unfamiliar? Odorslat had, during this time, undergone yet another civil war that led to its renaming. The citizens were relieved that they were at least not called Knitted-Socks-ians. Skelmrelm during this time had moved past Marricopra in terms of GDP (and, in some areas, development) and become the new world epicenter, especially for the north. Gondolinius still considered Marricopra their main provider, however, and Silencio found the Kingdom easier to access. However, whatever petty disputes they had became unimportant in the face of total annihilation of all they'd worked for. However, with the discovery of oil deposits on Sevdrolet, the world economy slowly rebuilt as nations focused southward, and then back North after the Skelmrelm war ended. By 1690, the world economy had generally stabilized. '''Tomorrow: the Great Earthquake and (hopefully) Lacertiliitis!''' == For Those Of You Who Wish to Write Your Own Histories == While the Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War is going on, everyone else is distracted with their own problems (except for you, Gondolinius - you got pulled into the war too). If you want to write your own history, here are some worldwide events to keep in mind: - The Fireplague Epidemic (1406-1455 AY), which originated in the Mocze desert (wiped out most of the Northern Order) - The War of the Chicken Pie, which started over a cooking competition held in the KoPWARToD, which was already having its own internal struggles that several countries simply threw themselves into (1507-1509 AY) - The Second Fireplague Epidemic (1509 - ended the WotCP - to 1576 AY; off and on throughout these years) - The split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet, which gave us the two desert islands south of Centrius (1599 AY). I might jump in with this one and make it a war, but for now feel free to keep this in mind as you write your own history - The economic collapse of 1684: War in Skelmrelm, a major world power, led to its dependents' economies going through a Great Depression-ish situation. - The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat. This destroyed the capital and led to the collapse of the Republic, leading to the country being divided up into several groups (including Saldon) - Lacertiliitis (1837): a disease originating in the Great Lacertilia National Park (Marricopra) that spread to the greater population and made it across the sea to Oralotzo, Saldon, and whatever state Gondolinius was in at the time. Turns your saliva to hydrochloric acid (ouch); death within 2 days unless you have a specific gene that repels it, or if you've gotten Lizard Pox before. - Lacertiliitis/Fireplague Meltdown: Doctors and scientists from all corners of the world scramble to the Central Archipelago, which is declared a neutral zone for the time, to create a vaccination for the mutated Lacertiliitis-Fireplague disease, which has rendered large portions of Mocze and Gusmoas inhabitable. This disease wipes out almost all of Del Sarcarmo, half of Seseco, and the monarch of Marricopra, leading to a general state of panic. Most of the world goes into COVID-style lockdown, making the economy grind to a halt and leaving many countries unable to govern themselves. Circa 1895 AY. - The Second Apocalypse (1906). This is the final event leading to where our nations are today. Resulting from a second Lacertiliitis-Fireplague pandemic combined with the Fire Wars, in which the Northern Order sets fire to Gondolinius, Gondolinius declares war on Marricopra, and then goes back and declares war on the Order. About a third of the world's population is lost. The world stabilizes ~1920, which eventually leads to where we are today (and why everyone is so salty at each other). 3dc14eff669f6d0fe031e931c2c589cc00e00289 225 212 2023-09-12T19:13:46Z BellatriX 4 And so it begins. wikitext text/x-wiki They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya. Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. (Disclaimer: this is - as of September 6th, 2023 - basically a history of Eddenarah, but I'm trying to touch base on everything else too) == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate the Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and while Eddenarah had the upper hand at first, the Lobsterites gradually improved. When they unified under the name Children of Nephrops then they routed Eddenarah off of the islands. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish were the Children of Nephrops (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Children of Nephrops (CoN) just to say "HA!" The CoN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The CoN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the CoN's capital. The CoN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The CoN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The CoN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the CoN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the CoN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the CoN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the CoN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the CoN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. South Seseco is also a place of many inventions, the [[Traffic Signal]] (1872, [[Saint Vennes]], [[Deprivique]]), [[Printing Press]] (1450, [[Burges]], [[Grand Duchy of Burges]]) and [[Controlled Access Motorway]] (1913, [[Kvev]], [[Tornobyl]]) were all invented here. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chkyeb]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the west (1530): The west was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Let's start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting each other. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. Deprivique natives originated from somewhere along the [[Vizantus Strait]]. They left their homeland of Dovranland due to a war with some neighboring power. We don't know how long ago this was, but best historians estimate that it was during the Post Flood era. [[File:0e5138d4-7ec9-4f38-9982-3b7a8d3af6d5.jpg|center|thumb|Mural in Petersport depicting the natives of Deprivique leaving their homeland circa 1198]]Deprivique was two kingdoms, the Grand Duchy of Hallem and the Kingdom of Leynes (now Petersport). They united in 748 to form the [[Deprivique Union]]. They were invaded by their neighbour, [[Letoque]] to the north ~912 during the [[Letoque Conquests]]. While they were independant not much notable happened. ===== Jenois ===== Today [[Jenois]] is a disputed canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] (Officially it is part of the canton [[Letoque Jenois]]) It does not have a very unique culture at all, they are basically just people from the Chkyiv Mountains who emmigrated west and met the Letoque people. Something that is notable about them is that they were hit incredibly hard during the Lacertiliitis. Almost three quarters of their population died, half of the remaining emmigrated. The city of Jenois was almost empty by 1900. They repopulated at very impressive rates, and today the region has a population of 1.4 Million. ===== Letoque ===== Letoque is and always was the dominant power in the West. The people of Letoque (Letiquain)'s origins are unknown but we think they came from the same place as the Tornoblites. The capital of Letoque is [[Saint Vennes]]. It is the second most populous canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] but has no city over one million in population. Over it's history Letoque has had a very unique take on land, similar to that of the Russian Empire. This encouraged people to spread out which is why they are significantly less dense than the other cantons. Letoque is home to Jenois, a disputed canton in it's east. Letoque lost land and was eventually destroyed in the [[Letoque Wars]] which lasted from 1610 - 1670 and main belligrents were the Verst Empire and Grand Duchy of Burges (GDB seceded from the Chkyeb Uniate in 1620). ==== Summary ==== South Seseco has had a history of civil wars, disease and violent wars, however it has also had times of prosperity. The "Seseco Golden Age" was the time from 1723 - 1803 both started and ended by war, but during which there was no fighting and instead inventions, discoveries and industrialisation. == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the CoN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The CoN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame, which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the CoN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == For those of you who are too lazy to read: basically the three powers of the Centrius Basin were at war off and on for 73 (and a quarter!) years. This was the last major war of this type, and ended with the CoN regaining control of the islands (for now...). In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the CoN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in late 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the CoN capital, while the CoN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). After half a year of this, all sides realized that this type of warfare was entirely unsustainable, and called a year-and-a-half ceasefire to build up their resources. In 1304 AY, Marricopra launched an assault on Centrius, and held and defended the island for ten years. The CoN was too busy rebuilding its capital for what was at least the third time, and so it was no difficulty for Marricopra to hold back the meager Ashmanschkri army, until 1314, when the CoN rejoined the battle, heading straight for the Marricopran capital. It was the worst destruction the area had seen since the Flood. Marricopra immediately moved backwards to defend their capital, and while the CoN-Marricopra conflict went on in what remained of the Valley of Pryoriya, Ashmanschkra took the islands. Marricopra eventually pushed back the CoN to the far East. The loss from this set of fighting sparked another ceasefire, this one lasting four and a half years. This truce was broken by the CoN, who made their first stab at Ashmanschkra. This time it was successful, and they officially owned the Ashmanschrki army (Sevdrolet refused to join this war. This created a rift in the country, but more on this later) for a time. However, the Army of Ashmanschkra the Inevitable refused to be owned by any other faction, and rebelled against the CoN generals, which put a slight dent in the CoN army, but mostly distracted them from the Marricopra 1326 invasion of Centrius. Marricopra owned the islands for another 5 years, in which the CoN ''and'' Ashmanschkra banded together (ironically) to shove them out, but the Marricopran army was so large they couldn't manage this until 1332, and then Ashmanschkra turned on the CoN, and they fought it out for a few years while Marricopra went back to rebuilding and making poisons from the lizards in the only national reserve, which was overhunted anyway. The longest ceasefire was from 1336-1343, after which Marricopra and the CoN simultaneously pulled support from the Order (both North and South). Ashmanschkra admitted defeat and decided to focus on its quickly worsening relations with the pacifist Sevdrolet. Once the Order got involved, almost everything within view was burned to the ground, Centrius became so inhabitable everyone wondered why they still fought over it, and King Vilassey of Marricopra died in battle, leaving no heirs but his niece, Nichra, who became the first Queen of Marricopra. She had little to no popular support, as she was a woman, but proved to be a brilliant strategist and brought Marricopra to an almost decisive victory at the Fourty-Fifth Battle of Great Nephrops Island, until the southern Order turned on them and Marricopra surrendered and shut its doors to the world. The CoN claimed Centrius, renamed it the Grand Lobster Islands, and the Order went home. In 1374, the Treaty of the Lobsterites was signed (grudgingly) by CoN general Parsley and Queen Nichra, who was at the very least lauded for her dignity in the face of such a crushing defeat. == The Fireplague Epidemic: 1406-1455 == The disease technically began spreading in 1402, but given the slowness of travel at the time, it didn't spread beyond the Great and True (Northern) Order until 1406. The One and Only Everlasting Flame apparently had microbes in them. Harmful ones. And after centuries of humans tending to the fire and its odd microbiome, they latched onto the Arch-Priests, and spread throughout the Mocze Desert's tent cities. It began with the Chief Arch-Priest, Bengellus, burning with a 106 degree fever. The next day, all four other Arch-Priests woke up with the same fever, and Bengellus broke out in hives said to burn "as if the Eternal Fire had itself showered its infernal sparks upon the skin." On the third day, Bengellus began vomiting blood. On the fourth, he died. The four remaining Arch-Priests all exhibited the same symptoms, but not within the same time frame. Hibriz died the day the boils appeared; Porops had a fever for a week and then got the boils and coughed blood (and died) all on the same day; Caprokcil only ever had boils, which lasted a week and a half and then he died with no warning; and Nezrel had a fever for two days, boils for a week and a half, and eventually recovered with only some light scarring. From Nezrel and the other four's caretakers, the disease spread across Mocze without warning and with no cure. Only a quarter of the Northern Order survives, and they start lighting fires in what is by then proto-Gondolinius, which spreads the disease through the southern Order like wildfire, and across the ocean to Marricopra via merchant ships. Marricopra gladly passes this on to the CoN and Ashmansckra via Altar (which has begun to rebel). All the guards on Great Nephrops Island die from the disease, but no one dares go replace them for fear of becoming infected themselves. Centrius goes unclaimed - it is during this time that Sevdrolet goes and unofficially names it the Central Archipelago, and the name sticks. The disease is sent north to Odorslat, but very few die as the cold climate cannot sustain the archaea-bacteria [''and yes, I'm basing the vaguely scientific nature of fireplague off of my 7th grade science class'']. What little of the disease can spread makes its way to Del Sacarmo/KoPWARToD, where it eventually dies out but destabilizes the government enough for a complete overhaul ['''Asisi - this is your chance to step in and write your history]'''. After killing about a fifth of the Marricopran population (including the monarch, but they had a direct heir), more than half of Mocze, and a sixth of the rest of the world, the disease eventually dies down in 1455, as the population had naturally immunized itself, save for a few sparse outbreaks in remote areas. == The War of the Chicken Pie: 1507-1509 == In 1507 AY, what remained of the KoPWARToD (a small scrap of land on Seseco; now Hakha Rakhine) held the First (and only) International Baking Competition, inviting famous bakers worldwide. Among them were Gondolinius's Oragor Mentaylis, who owned the World's Largest Bakery (and nobody dared fight him on that); Sevdrolet's Jimalangang Kobrob; and the KoPWARToD's Happra Ling King, whose alliance was to the Rakhine rebellion brewing up north. Upon his winning the competition, the judges had no idea what country to award the top prize to, and so (as is, of course, usual) war was declared between the KoPWARToD and Hakha Rakhine. Marricopra threw themselves into the war, angry over the loss of Ashmanschkra and Centrius centuries before (and from getting last place in the competition), and led by Queen Ingelle "the Mad." They quickly drew out after the mysterious death of Ingelle and the ascension of King Billy Bob the Sixth, who gave the KoPWARToD several million dollars in reparations and an apology letter. What remained of the Northern Order finally wiped themselves out by throwing themselves and their disease-ridden bodies into the war. This ended with the Treaty of the Kitchen, the formation of Hakha Rakhine and the final dissolution of the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and the subsequent breakout of fireplague across Seseco. == The Second Fireplague Epidemic: 1509-1576 == The Seseco epidemic ended within a few months (see: the first fireplague epidemic and how that worked on Odorslat), but spread back south to Mocze via merchants from Santa Marino and then to Gondolinius, who sent diseased persons to Silencio and Marricopra out of spite (remember - they had their beginnings as religious fanatics). The two almost declared war in return, but then half of their armies fell ill and they decided otherwise. This epidemic went off and on for the next seventy years, with each breakout having epicenters in oddly diverse places, among them being the new Hakha Rakhine, the southernmost 2 blocks of a city in Odorslat, and Croissant Island. This epidemic ended with the Blizzard to End All Blizzards, which lasted exactly 3 days but was enough to kill the archaea-bacteria worldwide. The disease was confined to the We Hate Fire Quarantine Hospital, which was set up in the Mocze desert over the original site of the fire to ensure no one lighted it again. I would say there was peace from here on out, but there isn't, because this was when I remembered that tectonic plates were a thing. == The Split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet: 1599 and a couple years after that == The large, desert-y island of Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet, named after the two people groups that lived there, was situated on a fault line that became more precarious with each year after the Flood, until it finally broke apart during an earthquake and tsunami just south of the Central Archipelago, creating an event known as the Mini-Flood. The country officially became two (it had been threatening to become so for a while), with Ashmanschkra becoming the war peoples of the west, eagerly helping Altar break from Marricopra, though the Altarians themselves didn't care too much as Marricopra provided financial support. Sevdrolet was a nation of pacifists, and remained strictly neutral in all the Central Basin conflicts, though it formed close ties with the CoN. They became known for their art, and hated being invaded. However, seeing as they had no army, this happened over and over despite their declaring independence and creating more and more statues of famous Sevdroletis, which no one cared to take down as they actually looked quite good. The world began to be split over "do you support Ashmanschkra or Sevdrolet?" but as neither nation had the patience to fight the other, it all came to naught and everyone stopped caring, because the islands had moved into such a location to be perfect for beach vacations and millions flooded there. == The Economic Collapse of 1684 == After a little less than a century of relative-but-not-really peace, war in Skelmrelm completely demolished the economy of said country, bringing upon general economic collapse worldwide, as just about everyone depended on Skelmrelm for one reason or another. Does this name sound unfamiliar? Odorslat had, during this time, undergone yet another civil war that led to its renaming. The citizens were relieved that they were at least not called Knitted-Socks-ians. Skelmrelm during this time had moved past Marricopra in terms of GDP (and, in some areas, development) and become the new world epicenter, especially for the north. Gondolinius still considered Marricopra their main provider, however, and Silencio found the Kingdom easier to access. However, whatever petty disputes they had became unimportant in the face of total annihilation of all they'd worked for. However, with the discovery of oil deposits on Sevdrolet, the world economy slowly rebuilt as nations focused southward, and then back North after the Skelmrelm war ended. By 1690, the world economy had generally stabilized. == The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat == This is why the mountains have two main ranges. However, though the epicenter of this was in the mountains, aftershocks were so strong in the capital (on that bay just south of them) that it was completely demolished. This created a political split over who should rule where and how they should rebuild, and effectively ended the Republic of Odorslat as it was known. War broke out over the ruins of Odorslat-Priyoria, ending with the Treaty of What's Left of Priyoriya that split the country in four: Skelmrelm, the Republic of Saldon, the Kingdom of the Remnant, and the Spire Realm. The Kingdom of the Remnant was basically a puppet state of both Saldon and Skelmrelm, but at different times, seeing as it was located on the ruins of Priyoriya and only populated by a few thousand, mostly scholars and archaeologists there to study and preserve what was left of the city. Odorslat once again was no longer a world power, and Silencio began to compete with Marricopra for the title of highest GDP, until the 1794 Marricopran Revolution (see: [[The We're Sick of King Salamandario Revolution]]), after which the country turned inward to sort out its own problems. By 1799, the world was caught in a precarious balance between Skelmrelm and Silencio, as they had no access to Marricopra's resources (except for Sevdrolet, which the Kingdom just couldn't ignore). This resulted in a slight dip in the economy ~1800, but it eventually stabilized as Silencio began to compensate, and finally Marricopra (which had at last rid itself of Altar) reentered the world, about half the size it had been before. == Lacertiliitis: 1837 to the End of the World as We Know It == The disease began among the thousands of lizard species found at Great Lacertilia National Park. Still no one knows exactly which species spread it to humans, but the story goes like this: shopowner Tylline Tortatolus and his family visited the park in Firbicus 1837, and three weeks after returning, his wife died. More <s>later</s> soon. == For Those Of You Who Wish to Write Your Own Histories == While the Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War is going on, everyone else is distracted with their own problems (except for you, Gondolinius - you got pulled into the war too). If you want to write your own history, here are some worldwide events to keep in mind: - The Fireplague Epidemic (1406-1455 AY), which originated in the Mocze desert (wiped out most of the Northern Order) - The War of the Chicken Pie, which started over a cooking competition held in the KoPWARToD, which was already having its own internal struggles that several countries simply threw themselves into (1507-1509 AY) - The Second Fireplague Epidemic (1509 - ended the WotCP - to 1576 AY; off and on throughout these years) - The split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet, which gave us the two desert islands south of Centrius (1599 AY). I might jump in with this one and make it a war, but for now feel free to keep this in mind as you write your own history - The economic collapse of 1684: War in Skelmrelm, a major world power, led to its dependents' economies going through a Great Depression-ish situation. - The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat. This destroyed the capital and led to the collapse of the Republic, leading to the country being divided up into several groups (including Saldon) - Lacertiliitis (1837): a disease originating in the Great Lacertilia National Park (Marricopra) that spread to the greater population and made it across the sea to Ortalor, Saldon, and whatever state Gondolinius was in at the time. Turns your saliva to hydrochloric acid (ouch); death within 2 days unless you have a specific gene that repels it, or if you've gotten Lizard Pox before. - Lacertiliitis/Fireplague Meltdown: Doctors and scientists from all corners of the world scramble to the Central Archipelago, which is declared a neutral zone for the time, to create a vaccination for the mutated Lacertiliitis-Fireplague disease, which has rendered large portions of Mocze and Gusmoas inhabitable. This disease wipes out almost all of Del Sarcarmo, half of Seseco, and the monarch of Marricopra, leading to a general state of panic. Most of the world goes into COVID-style lockdown, making the economy grind to a halt and leaving many countries unable to govern themselves. Circa 1895 AY. - The Second Apocalypse (1906). This is the final event leading to where our nations are today. Resulting from a second Lacertiliitis-Fireplague pandemic combined with the Fire Wars, in which the Northern Order sets fire to Gondolinius, Gondolinius declares war on Marricopra, and then goes back and declares war on the Order. About a third of the world's population is lost. The world stabilizes ~1920, which eventually leads to where we are today (and why everyone is so salty at each other). dea3786c4cc77cb540cbbb422255b50e87f90c12 239 225 2023-09-13T16:35:03Z BellatriX 4 /* Lacertiliitis: 1837 to the End of the World as We Know It */ wikitext text/x-wiki They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya. Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. (Disclaimer: this is - as of September 6th, 2023 - basically a history of Eddenarah, but I'm trying to touch base on everything else too) == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate the Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and while Eddenarah had the upper hand at first, the Lobsterites gradually improved. When they unified under the name Children of Nephrops then they routed Eddenarah off of the islands. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish were the Children of Nephrops (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Children of Nephrops (CoN) just to say "HA!" The CoN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The CoN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the CoN's capital. The CoN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The CoN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The CoN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the CoN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the CoN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the CoN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the CoN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the CoN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. South Seseco is also a place of many inventions, the [[Traffic Signal]] (1872, [[Saint Vennes]], [[Deprivique]]), [[Printing Press]] (1450, [[Burges]], [[Grand Duchy of Burges]]) and [[Controlled Access Motorway]] (1913, [[Kvev]], [[Tornobyl]]) were all invented here. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chkyeb]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the west (1530): The west was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Let's start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting each other. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. Deprivique natives originated from somewhere along the [[Vizantus Strait]]. They left their homeland of Dovranland due to a war with some neighboring power. We don't know how long ago this was, but best historians estimate that it was during the Post Flood era. [[File:0e5138d4-7ec9-4f38-9982-3b7a8d3af6d5.jpg|center|thumb|Mural in Petersport depicting the natives of Deprivique leaving their homeland circa 1198]]Deprivique was two kingdoms, the Grand Duchy of Hallem and the Kingdom of Leynes (now Petersport). They united in 748 to form the [[Deprivique Union]]. They were invaded by their neighbour, [[Letoque]] to the north ~912 during the [[Letoque Conquests]]. While they were independant not much notable happened. ===== Jenois ===== Today [[Jenois]] is a disputed canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] (Officially it is part of the canton [[Letoque Jenois]]) It does not have a very unique culture at all, they are basically just people from the Chkyiv Mountains who emmigrated west and met the Letoque people. Something that is notable about them is that they were hit incredibly hard during the Lacertiliitis. Almost three quarters of their population died, half of the remaining emmigrated. The city of Jenois was almost empty by 1900. They repopulated at very impressive rates, and today the region has a population of 1.4 Million. ===== Letoque ===== Letoque is and always was the dominant power in the West. The people of Letoque (Letiquain)'s origins are unknown but we think they came from the same place as the Tornoblites. The capital of Letoque is [[Saint Vennes]]. It is the second most populous canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] but has no city over one million in population. Over it's history Letoque has had a very unique take on land, similar to that of the Russian Empire. This encouraged people to spread out which is why they are significantly less dense than the other cantons. Letoque is home to Jenois, a disputed canton in it's east. Letoque lost land and was eventually destroyed in the [[Letoque Wars]] which lasted from 1610 - 1670 and main belligrents were the Verst Empire and Grand Duchy of Burges (GDB seceded from the Chkyeb Uniate in 1620). ==== Summary ==== South Seseco has had a history of civil wars, disease and violent wars, however it has also had times of prosperity. The "Seseco Golden Age" was the time from 1723 - 1803 both started and ended by war, but during which there was no fighting and instead inventions, discoveries and industrialisation. == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the CoN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The CoN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame, which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the CoN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == For those of you who are too lazy to read: basically the three powers of the Centrius Basin were at war off and on for 73 (and a quarter!) years. This was the last major war of this type, and ended with the CoN regaining control of the islands (for now...). In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the CoN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in late 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the CoN capital, while the CoN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). After half a year of this, all sides realized that this type of warfare was entirely unsustainable, and called a year-and-a-half ceasefire to build up their resources. In 1304 AY, Marricopra launched an assault on Centrius, and held and defended the island for ten years. The CoN was too busy rebuilding its capital for what was at least the third time, and so it was no difficulty for Marricopra to hold back the meager Ashmanschkri army, until 1314, when the CoN rejoined the battle, heading straight for the Marricopran capital. It was the worst destruction the area had seen since the Flood. Marricopra immediately moved backwards to defend their capital, and while the CoN-Marricopra conflict went on in what remained of the Valley of Pryoriya, Ashmanschkra took the islands. Marricopra eventually pushed back the CoN to the far East. The loss from this set of fighting sparked another ceasefire, this one lasting four and a half years. This truce was broken by the CoN, who made their first stab at Ashmanschkra. This time it was successful, and they officially owned the Ashmanschrki army (Sevdrolet refused to join this war. This created a rift in the country, but more on this later) for a time. However, the Army of Ashmanschkra the Inevitable refused to be owned by any other faction, and rebelled against the CoN generals, which put a slight dent in the CoN army, but mostly distracted them from the Marricopra 1326 invasion of Centrius. Marricopra owned the islands for another 5 years, in which the CoN ''and'' Ashmanschkra banded together (ironically) to shove them out, but the Marricopran army was so large they couldn't manage this until 1332, and then Ashmanschkra turned on the CoN, and they fought it out for a few years while Marricopra went back to rebuilding and making poisons from the lizards in the only national reserve, which was overhunted anyway. The longest ceasefire was from 1336-1343, after which Marricopra and the CoN simultaneously pulled support from the Order (both North and South). Ashmanschkra admitted defeat and decided to focus on its quickly worsening relations with the pacifist Sevdrolet. Once the Order got involved, almost everything within view was burned to the ground, Centrius became so inhabitable everyone wondered why they still fought over it, and King Vilassey of Marricopra died in battle, leaving no heirs but his niece, Nichra, who became the first Queen of Marricopra. She had little to no popular support, as she was a woman, but proved to be a brilliant strategist and brought Marricopra to an almost decisive victory at the Fourty-Fifth Battle of Great Nephrops Island, until the southern Order turned on them and Marricopra surrendered and shut its doors to the world. The CoN claimed Centrius, renamed it the Grand Lobster Islands, and the Order went home. In 1374, the Treaty of the Lobsterites was signed (grudgingly) by CoN general Parsley and Queen Nichra, who was at the very least lauded for her dignity in the face of such a crushing defeat. == The Fireplague Epidemic: 1406-1455 == The disease technically began spreading in 1402, but given the slowness of travel at the time, it didn't spread beyond the Great and True (Northern) Order until 1406. The One and Only Everlasting Flame apparently had microbes in them. Harmful ones. And after centuries of humans tending to the fire and its odd microbiome, they latched onto the Arch-Priests, and spread throughout the Mocze Desert's tent cities. It began with the Chief Arch-Priest, Bengellus, burning with a 106 degree fever. The next day, all four other Arch-Priests woke up with the same fever, and Bengellus broke out in hives said to burn "as if the Eternal Fire had itself showered its infernal sparks upon the skin." On the third day, Bengellus began vomiting blood. On the fourth, he died. The four remaining Arch-Priests all exhibited the same symptoms, but not within the same time frame. Hibriz died the day the boils appeared; Porops had a fever for a week and then got the boils and coughed blood (and died) all on the same day; Caprokcil only ever had boils, which lasted a week and a half and then he died with no warning; and Nezrel had a fever for two days, boils for a week and a half, and eventually recovered with only some light scarring. From Nezrel and the other four's caretakers, the disease spread across Mocze without warning and with no cure. Only a quarter of the Northern Order survives, and they start lighting fires in what is by then proto-Gondolinius, which spreads the disease through the southern Order like wildfire, and across the ocean to Marricopra via merchant ships. Marricopra gladly passes this on to the CoN and Ashmansckra via Altar (which has begun to rebel). All the guards on Great Nephrops Island die from the disease, but no one dares go replace them for fear of becoming infected themselves. Centrius goes unclaimed - it is during this time that Sevdrolet goes and unofficially names it the Central Archipelago, and the name sticks. The disease is sent north to Odorslat, but very few die as the cold climate cannot sustain the archaea-bacteria [''and yes, I'm basing the vaguely scientific nature of fireplague off of my 7th grade science class'']. What little of the disease can spread makes its way to Del Sacarmo/KoPWARToD, where it eventually dies out but destabilizes the government enough for a complete overhaul ['''Asisi - this is your chance to step in and write your history]'''. After killing about a fifth of the Marricopran population (including the monarch, but they had a direct heir), more than half of Mocze, and a sixth of the rest of the world, the disease eventually dies down in 1455, as the population had naturally immunized itself, save for a few sparse outbreaks in remote areas. == The War of the Chicken Pie: 1507-1509 == In 1507 AY, what remained of the KoPWARToD (a small scrap of land on Seseco; now Hakha Rakhine) held the First (and only) International Baking Competition, inviting famous bakers worldwide. Among them were Gondolinius's Oragor Mentaylis, who owned the World's Largest Bakery (and nobody dared fight him on that); Sevdrolet's Jimalangang Kobrob; and the KoPWARToD's Happra Ling King, whose alliance was to the Rakhine rebellion brewing up north. Upon his winning the competition, the judges had no idea what country to award the top prize to, and so (as is, of course, usual) war was declared between the KoPWARToD and Hakha Rakhine. Marricopra threw themselves into the war, angry over the loss of Ashmanschkra and Centrius centuries before (and from getting last place in the competition), and led by Queen Ingelle "the Mad." They quickly drew out after the mysterious death of Ingelle and the ascension of King Billy Bob the Sixth, who gave the KoPWARToD several million dollars in reparations and an apology letter. What remained of the Northern Order finally wiped themselves out by throwing themselves and their disease-ridden bodies into the war. This ended with the Treaty of the Kitchen, the formation of Hakha Rakhine and the final dissolution of the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and the subsequent breakout of fireplague across Seseco. == The Second Fireplague Epidemic: 1509-1576 == The Seseco epidemic ended within a few months (see: the first fireplague epidemic and how that worked on Odorslat), but spread back south to Mocze via merchants from Santa Marino and then to Gondolinius, who sent diseased persons to Silencio and Marricopra out of spite (remember - they had their beginnings as religious fanatics). The two almost declared war in return, but then half of their armies fell ill and they decided otherwise. This epidemic went off and on for the next seventy years, with each breakout having epicenters in oddly diverse places, among them being the new Hakha Rakhine, the southernmost 2 blocks of a city in Odorslat, and Croissant Island. This epidemic ended with the Blizzard to End All Blizzards, which lasted exactly 3 days but was enough to kill the archaea-bacteria worldwide. The disease was confined to the We Hate Fire Quarantine Hospital, which was set up in the Mocze desert over the original site of the fire to ensure no one lighted it again. I would say there was peace from here on out, but there isn't, because this was when I remembered that tectonic plates were a thing. == The Split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet: 1599 and a couple years after that == The large, desert-y island of Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet, named after the two people groups that lived there, was situated on a fault line that became more precarious with each year after the Flood, until it finally broke apart during an earthquake and tsunami just south of the Central Archipelago, creating an event known as the Mini-Flood. The country officially became two (it had been threatening to become so for a while), with Ashmanschkra becoming the war peoples of the west, eagerly helping Altar break from Marricopra, though the Altarians themselves didn't care too much as Marricopra provided financial support. Sevdrolet was a nation of pacifists, and remained strictly neutral in all the Central Basin conflicts, though it formed close ties with the CoN. They became known for their art, and hated being invaded. However, seeing as they had no army, this happened over and over despite their declaring independence and creating more and more statues of famous Sevdroletis, which no one cared to take down as they actually looked quite good. The world began to be split over "do you support Ashmanschkra or Sevdrolet?" but as neither nation had the patience to fight the other, it all came to naught and everyone stopped caring, because the islands had moved into such a location to be perfect for beach vacations and millions flooded there. == The Economic Collapse of 1684 == After a little less than a century of relative-but-not-really peace, war in Skelmrelm completely demolished the economy of said country, bringing upon general economic collapse worldwide, as just about everyone depended on Skelmrelm for one reason or another. Does this name sound unfamiliar? Odorslat had, during this time, undergone yet another civil war that led to its renaming. The citizens were relieved that they were at least not called Knitted-Socks-ians. Skelmrelm during this time had moved past Marricopra in terms of GDP (and, in some areas, development) and become the new world epicenter, especially for the north. Gondolinius still considered Marricopra their main provider, however, and Silencio found the Kingdom easier to access. However, whatever petty disputes they had became unimportant in the face of total annihilation of all they'd worked for. However, with the discovery of oil deposits on Sevdrolet, the world economy slowly rebuilt as nations focused southward, and then back North after the Skelmrelm war ended. By 1690, the world economy had generally stabilized. == The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat == This is why the mountains have two main ranges. However, though the epicenter of this was in the mountains, aftershocks were so strong in the capital (on that bay just south of them) that it was completely demolished. This created a political split over who should rule where and how they should rebuild, and effectively ended the Republic of Odorslat as it was known. War broke out over the ruins of Odorslat-Priyoria, ending with the Treaty of What's Left of Priyoriya that split the country in four: Skelmrelm, the Republic of Saldon, the Kingdom of the Remnant, and the Spire Realm. The Kingdom of the Remnant was basically a puppet state of both Saldon and Skelmrelm, but at different times, seeing as it was located on the ruins of Priyoriya and only populated by a few thousand, mostly scholars and archaeologists there to study and preserve what was left of the city. Odorslat once again was no longer a world power, and Silencio began to compete with Marricopra for the title of highest GDP, until the 1794 Marricopran Revolution (see: [[The We're Sick of King Salamandario Revolution]]), after which the country turned inward to sort out its own problems. By 1799, the world was caught in a precarious balance between Skelmrelm and Silencio, as they had no access to Marricopra's resources (except for Sevdrolet, which the Kingdom just couldn't ignore). This resulted in a slight dip in the economy ~1800, but it eventually stabilized as Silencio began to compensate, and finally Marricopra (which had at last rid itself of Altar) reentered the world, about half the size it had been before. == Lacertiliitis: 1837 to the End of the World as We Know It == The disease began among the thousands of lizard species found at Great Lacertilia National Park. Still no one knows exactly which species spread it to humans, but the story goes like this: shopowner Tylline Tortatolus and his family visited the park in Firbicus 1837, and three weeks after returning, his wife died. Within the next two days, both of his children complained of pain in their mouth, throat, and stomach. Two days later, they died. Tylline lasted long enough to tell his neighbors of the strange occurrence, and then died in the home of musician Vollus Senddarry. The disease spread from the Senddarry household across the small town of Markpinne. The disease made it via caravan to the capital, and spread quickly through the population there. Then-Queen Nichra III soon realized what was happening and enforced a quarantine in the northeast part of the city, but not before boats carrying timber - the country's main resource - had reached Saldon, Gondolinius, and Ortalor, spreading the disease there too. Soon testing was performed in the King Jimmy Central Hospital, and it was found that the disease turned one's saliva to hydrochloric acid. Scientists worldwide set to work creating a vaccine, but the most they could do was prevent death, though not entirely. Certain anomalies were found in the poorer parts of the city, where most of the population had already gone through a bout of Lizard Pox, a non-fatal disease spread by the Greeg lizard. Those who had already had the Pox were naturally immune to the disease - named Lacertiliitis after the park where it originated - and so many were hired on as doctors or even merely recipients of tests. They were paid by the government for their trouble, and often hired and paid ridiculous amounts of money to take over positions unstaffed because of the epidemic. Throughout the rest of the world scientists worked aggressively on creating a vaccine, or, in the case of Ashmanschkra, spreading Lizard Pox to as many citizens as possible. Because of this, most of the population had a natural immunity to Lacertiliitis by 1848. It is considered one of the most effective public health initiatives to date. Saldon and Skelmrelm teamed up to create a semi-effective vaccine, which forced out the virus by the second day, often leaving people on the brink of death but at least alive. They took to spreading numbing shots among their population, which at least prevented the pain caused from the acidic saliva. The vaccine was spread with the Kingdom of the Remnant, which consented to being absorbed into Skelmrelm, but the Spire Realm told themselves they could "handle this." They were all dead in three weeks. Ortalor stole some of the vaccine from Skelmrelm and tried to refine it, but only ended up creating a highly addictive pain medicine, which created a lot of addicts and became very illegal after a year, when the government finally realized the problem. They attempted to use the "Lizard Pox Solution," but as their climate wasn't sustainable to the Greeg, the initiative failed. The disease finally died out in 1849 after most of the population succumbed to it. Gondolinius learned to work with the disease, and the hot climate created its first mutation, spread by melted cells. This resulted in a burning sensation throughout the body, which the Southern Order (now a strong theo-political presence in the area) promoted as a religious experience, not knowing how deadly the disease was. Lacertiliitis and the "Fire of the Heavens" mutation spread even more rapidly throughout Gondolinius and eventually to the abandoned Fireplague Hospital, which still had the remains of fireplague all over it. The Imperialist Party of Gondolinius set up an initiative to promote the quarantining of sick individuals. The Southern Order fought back against this relentlessly, creating a split in the general population over whether or not the "Fire of the Heavens" phenomena was a religious experience or a serious medical condition. Those who considered it religious were eventually put in a mental hospital during the Second Apocalypse, and the rest ran away to the desert. That aside, the disease died out in the urban parts of Gondolinius, but thrived in the rural areas around the Fireplague hospital, which created it's own problem, but more on that later... In the CoN, where the disease was spread from Marricopra via Sevdrolet and the oilfield workers there, the disease also mutated, creating something similar to the "Fire of the Heavens" bacteria, but instead causing only the skin to burn and dry out. This version wasn't completely fatal, even though Lizard Pox wasn't prevalent among the CoN. It was thought that the melting of the cells in the unceasing heat lessened the effects, but the disease was eradicated in 1845 due to a spike in heat and a drought, and so was never able to be studied. By 1850, the disease had calmed down worldwide (except for Gondolinius, but that's next). == For Those Of You Who Wish to Write Your Own Histories == While the Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War is going on, everyone else is distracted with their own problems (except for you, Gondolinius - you got pulled into the war too). If you want to write your own history, here are some worldwide events to keep in mind: - The Fireplague Epidemic (1406-1455 AY), which originated in the Mocze desert (wiped out most of the Northern Order) - The War of the Chicken Pie, which started over a cooking competition held in the KoPWARToD, which was already having its own internal struggles that several countries simply threw themselves into (1507-1509 AY) - The Second Fireplague Epidemic (1509 - ended the WotCP - to 1576 AY; off and on throughout these years) - The split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet, which gave us the two desert islands south of Centrius (1599 AY). I might jump in with this one and make it a war, but for now feel free to keep this in mind as you write your own history - The economic collapse of 1684: War in Skelmrelm, a major world power, led to its dependents' economies going through a Great Depression-ish situation. - The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat. This destroyed the capital and led to the collapse of the Republic, leading to the country being divided up into several groups (including Saldon) - Lacertiliitis (1837): a disease originating in the Great Lacertilia National Park (Marricopra) that spread to the greater population and made it across the sea to Ortalor, Saldon, and whatever state Gondolinius was in at the time. Turns your saliva to hydrochloric acid (ouch); death within 2 days unless you have a specific gene that repels it, or if you've gotten Lizard Pox before. - Lacertiliitis/Fireplague Meltdown: Doctors and scientists from all corners of the world scramble to the Central Archipelago, which is declared a neutral zone for the time, to create a vaccination for the mutated Lacertiliitis-Fireplague disease, which has rendered large portions of Mocze and Gusmoas inhabitable. This disease wipes out almost all of Del Sarcarmo, half of Seseco, and the monarch of Marricopra, leading to a general state of panic. Most of the world goes into COVID-style lockdown, making the economy grind to a halt and leaving many countries unable to govern themselves. Circa 1895 AY. - The Second Apocalypse (1906). This is the final event leading to where our nations are today. Resulting from a second Lacertiliitis-Fireplague pandemic combined with the Fire Wars, in which the Northern Order sets fire to Gondolinius, Gondolinius declares war on Marricopra, and then goes back and declares war on the Order. About a third of the world's population is lost. The world stabilizes ~1920, which eventually leads to where we are today (and why everyone is so salty at each other). 1ff81f5650a1aca5cee12ec6f1bf57db43089446 240 239 2023-09-13T17:24:22Z Agdev(Toasters) 2 /* South Seseco */ wikitext text/x-wiki They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya. Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. (Disclaimer: this is - as of September 6th, 2023 - basically a history of Eddenarah, but I'm trying to touch base on everything else too) == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate the Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and while Eddenarah had the upper hand at first, the Lobsterites gradually improved. When they unified under the name Children of Nephrops then they routed Eddenarah off of the islands. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish were the Children of Nephrops (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Children of Nephrops (CoN) just to say "HA!" The CoN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The CoN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the CoN's capital. The CoN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The CoN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The CoN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the CoN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the CoN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the CoN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the CoN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the CoN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. South Seseco is also a place of many inventions, the [[Traffic Signal]] (1872, [[Saint Vennes]], [[Deprivique]]), [[Printing Press]] (1450, [[Burges]], [[Grand Duchy of Burges]]) and [[Controlled Access Motorway]] (1913, [[Kvev]], [[Tornobyl]]) were all invented here. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chkyeb]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. The two sides united in 1550 to form the Chkyeb Uniate. Expansion continued eastward. In 1620 a civil war began. ==== The Jenois War of 1620 ==== Jenois was an exclave of people who remained in the Mountain Culture. They called themselves Kruchtevs (a common term used to refer to them in a negative light was "Crookies") and their capital was [[Kauter]]. [[Jenois|Jenois City]], as we know it today was an orsk catholic outpost that spoke Letique. The Kruchtevs were under severe penal laws, below is a basic rundown: * Crookies may not buy land unless the land had been owned by another Crookie. * Crookies may not go to school. * Crookies could not practice religion. * Crookies may only speak Letique. * Crookies may not possess anything that could be used to defend themselves * A maximum of one shop could be opened by a Crookie in any one town. * Crookies could only shop at places owned by Crookies. * Crookies could not ride carriages or own horses. * So on, So forth The first "Crookie Uprising" was actually in 1590 but it failed miserably and half of [[Kauter]] was burned to the ground. In 1620, with help from the [[Tornobyl Arms Association]] they were able to start a revolution in Kauter. The surrounding area was quickly captured and the [[Kruchtev Union]] was declared. They were followed by Deprivique, a region also descriminated against because of their Vizantian Catholic faith. Together the two new nations took over everything east of the Chkyiv Mountains. At home, the Uniate was struggling to keep the peace as a new disease called "Crookpox" (named so because many believed it was a consequence of discriminating against the Kruchtevs) was running rampant throughout the country. The [[Kruchtev Union]], [[Deprivique Republic]] and [[Letoque State]] (Puppet of Deprivique) were given fully recognised independance. ==== Reunited ==== In 1720, Letoque joined Deprivique to create the [[Holy Vizantian Union]]. The [[Kruchtev Union]] united with the [[City State of Tornve]] to create the [[New Kruchtev State]]. In 1722 the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] reunited with the [[Verst Empire]] and in 1723 a war began. ==== War of Letoque (1723 - 1770) ==== On the 3rd September 1723 the 2nd Chkyeb Union declared war on the [[Holy Vizantian Union]] and the [[New Kruchtev State]]. At first, their attack was strong, they took over Tornve and many mountanious regions. But then winter hit. The counteroffensive was described by a verst survivor as "Fast and sharp". They mainly attacked at nigh tand in small numbers. The Verst army was pushed all the way back to Verst. By then Tornobyl joined the war and more reinforcements were coming from allied nations. The war went on like this for 47 years. Then they decided they would better just unite, lest lose anymore lives. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the east (1530): The wast was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Let's start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting each other. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. Deprivique natives originated from somewhere along the [[Vizantus Strait]]. They left their homeland of Dovranland due to a war with some neighboring power. We don't know how long ago this was, but best historians estimate that it was during the Post Flood era. [[File:0e5138d4-7ec9-4f38-9982-3b7a8d3af6d5.jpg|center|thumb|Mural in Petersport depicting the natives of Deprivique leaving their homeland circa 1198]]Deprivique was two kingdoms, the Grand Duchy of Hallem and the Kingdom of Leynes (now Petersport). They united in 748 to form the [[Deprivique Union]]. They were invaded by their neighbour, [[Letoque]] to the north ~912 during the [[Letoque Conquests]]. While they were independant not much notable happened. ===== Jenois ===== Today [[Jenois]] is a disputed canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] (Officially it is part of the canton [[Letoque Jenois]]) It does not have a very unique culture at all, they are basically just people from the Chkyiv Mountains who emmigrated west and met the Letoque people. Something that is notable about them is that they were hit incredibly hard during the Lacertiliitis. Almost three quarters of their population died, half of the remaining emmigrated. The city of Jenois was almost empty by 1900. They repopulated at very impressive rates, and today the region has a population of 1.4 Million. ===== Letoque ===== Letoque is and always was the dominant power in the West. The people of Letoque (Letiquain)'s origins are unknown but we think they came from the same place as the Tornoblites. The capital of Letoque is [[Saint Vennes]]. It is the second most populous canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] but has no city over one million in population. Over it's history Letoque has had a very unique take on land, similar to that of the Russian Empire. This encouraged people to spread out which is why they are significantly less dense than the other cantons. Letoque is home to Jenois, a disputed canton in it's east. Letoque lost land and was eventually destroyed in the [[Letoque Wars]] which lasted from 1610 - 1670 and main belligrents were the Verst Empire and Grand Duchy of Burges (GDB seceded from the Chkyeb Uniate in 1620). ==== Summary ==== South Seseco has had a history of civil wars, disease and violent wars, however it has also had times of prosperity. The "Seseco Golden Age" was the time from 1723 - 1803 both started and ended by war, but during which there was no fighting and instead inventions, discoveries and industrialisation. == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the CoN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The CoN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame, which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the CoN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == For those of you who are too lazy to read: basically the three powers of the Centrius Basin were at war off and on for 73 (and a quarter!) years. This was the last major war of this type, and ended with the CoN regaining control of the islands (for now...). In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the CoN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in late 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the CoN capital, while the CoN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). After half a year of this, all sides realized that this type of warfare was entirely unsustainable, and called a year-and-a-half ceasefire to build up their resources. In 1304 AY, Marricopra launched an assault on Centrius, and held and defended the island for ten years. The CoN was too busy rebuilding its capital for what was at least the third time, and so it was no difficulty for Marricopra to hold back the meager Ashmanschkri army, until 1314, when the CoN rejoined the battle, heading straight for the Marricopran capital. It was the worst destruction the area had seen since the Flood. Marricopra immediately moved backwards to defend their capital, and while the CoN-Marricopra conflict went on in what remained of the Valley of Pryoriya, Ashmanschkra took the islands. Marricopra eventually pushed back the CoN to the far East. The loss from this set of fighting sparked another ceasefire, this one lasting four and a half years. This truce was broken by the CoN, who made their first stab at Ashmanschkra. This time it was successful, and they officially owned the Ashmanschrki army (Sevdrolet refused to join this war. This created a rift in the country, but more on this later) for a time. However, the Army of Ashmanschkra the Inevitable refused to be owned by any other faction, and rebelled against the CoN generals, which put a slight dent in the CoN army, but mostly distracted them from the Marricopra 1326 invasion of Centrius. Marricopra owned the islands for another 5 years, in which the CoN ''and'' Ashmanschkra banded together (ironically) to shove them out, but the Marricopran army was so large they couldn't manage this until 1332, and then Ashmanschkra turned on the CoN, and they fought it out for a few years while Marricopra went back to rebuilding and making poisons from the lizards in the only national reserve, which was overhunted anyway. The longest ceasefire was from 1336-1343, after which Marricopra and the CoN simultaneously pulled support from the Order (both North and South). Ashmanschkra admitted defeat and decided to focus on its quickly worsening relations with the pacifist Sevdrolet. Once the Order got involved, almost everything within view was burned to the ground, Centrius became so inhabitable everyone wondered why they still fought over it, and King Vilassey of Marricopra died in battle, leaving no heirs but his niece, Nichra, who became the first Queen of Marricopra. She had little to no popular support, as she was a woman, but proved to be a brilliant strategist and brought Marricopra to an almost decisive victory at the Fourty-Fifth Battle of Great Nephrops Island, until the southern Order turned on them and Marricopra surrendered and shut its doors to the world. The CoN claimed Centrius, renamed it the Grand Lobster Islands, and the Order went home. In 1374, the Treaty of the Lobsterites was signed (grudgingly) by CoN general Parsley and Queen Nichra, who was at the very least lauded for her dignity in the face of such a crushing defeat. == The Fireplague Epidemic: 1406-1455 == The disease technically began spreading in 1402, but given the slowness of travel at the time, it didn't spread beyond the Great and True (Northern) Order until 1406. The One and Only Everlasting Flame apparently had microbes in them. Harmful ones. And after centuries of humans tending to the fire and its odd microbiome, they latched onto the Arch-Priests, and spread throughout the Mocze Desert's tent cities. It began with the Chief Arch-Priest, Bengellus, burning with a 106 degree fever. The next day, all four other Arch-Priests woke up with the same fever, and Bengellus broke out in hives said to burn "as if the Eternal Fire had itself showered its infernal sparks upon the skin." On the third day, Bengellus began vomiting blood. On the fourth, he died. The four remaining Arch-Priests all exhibited the same symptoms, but not within the same time frame. Hibriz died the day the boils appeared; Porops had a fever for a week and then got the boils and coughed blood (and died) all on the same day; Caprokcil only ever had boils, which lasted a week and a half and then he died with no warning; and Nezrel had a fever for two days, boils for a week and a half, and eventually recovered with only some light scarring. From Nezrel and the other four's caretakers, the disease spread across Mocze without warning and with no cure. Only a quarter of the Northern Order survives, and they start lighting fires in what is by then proto-Gondolinius, which spreads the disease through the southern Order like wildfire, and across the ocean to Marricopra via merchant ships. Marricopra gladly passes this on to the CoN and Ashmansckra via Altar (which has begun to rebel). All the guards on Great Nephrops Island die from the disease, but no one dares go replace them for fear of becoming infected themselves. Centrius goes unclaimed - it is during this time that Sevdrolet goes and unofficially names it the Central Archipelago, and the name sticks. The disease is sent north to Odorslat, but very few die as the cold climate cannot sustain the archaea-bacteria [''and yes, I'm basing the vaguely scientific nature of fireplague off of my 7th grade science class'']. What little of the disease can spread makes its way to Del Sacarmo/KoPWARToD, where it eventually dies out but destabilizes the government enough for a complete overhaul ['''Asisi - this is your chance to step in and write your history]'''. After killing about a fifth of the Marricopran population (including the monarch, but they had a direct heir), more than half of Mocze, and a sixth of the rest of the world, the disease eventually dies down in 1455, as the population had naturally immunized itself, save for a few sparse outbreaks in remote areas. == The War of the Chicken Pie: 1507-1509 == In 1507 AY, what remained of the KoPWARToD (a small scrap of land on Seseco; now Hakha Rakhine) held the First (and only) International Baking Competition, inviting famous bakers worldwide. Among them were Gondolinius's Oragor Mentaylis, who owned the World's Largest Bakery (and nobody dared fight him on that); Sevdrolet's Jimalangang Kobrob; and the KoPWARToD's Happra Ling King, whose alliance was to the Rakhine rebellion brewing up north. Upon his winning the competition, the judges had no idea what country to award the top prize to, and so (as is, of course, usual) war was declared between the KoPWARToD and Hakha Rakhine. Marricopra threw themselves into the war, angry over the loss of Ashmanschkra and Centrius centuries before (and from getting last place in the competition), and led by Queen Ingelle "the Mad." They quickly drew out after the mysterious death of Ingelle and the ascension of King Billy Bob the Sixth, who gave the KoPWARToD several million dollars in reparations and an apology letter. What remained of the Northern Order finally wiped themselves out by throwing themselves and their disease-ridden bodies into the war. This ended with the Treaty of the Kitchen, the formation of Hakha Rakhine and the final dissolution of the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and the subsequent breakout of fireplague across Seseco. == The Second Fireplague Epidemic: 1509-1576 == The Seseco epidemic ended within a few months (see: the first fireplague epidemic and how that worked on Odorslat), but spread back south to Mocze via merchants from Santa Marino and then to Gondolinius, who sent diseased persons to Silencio and Marricopra out of spite (remember - they had their beginnings as religious fanatics). The two almost declared war in return, but then half of their armies fell ill and they decided otherwise. This epidemic went off and on for the next seventy years, with each breakout having epicenters in oddly diverse places, among them being the new Hakha Rakhine, the southernmost 2 blocks of a city in Odorslat, and Croissant Island. This epidemic ended with the Blizzard to End All Blizzards, which lasted exactly 3 days but was enough to kill the archaea-bacteria worldwide. The disease was confined to the We Hate Fire Quarantine Hospital, which was set up in the Mocze desert over the original site of the fire to ensure no one lighted it again. I would say there was peace from here on out, but there isn't, because this was when I remembered that tectonic plates were a thing. == The Split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet: 1599 and a couple years after that == The large, desert-y island of Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet, named after the two people groups that lived there, was situated on a fault line that became more precarious with each year after the Flood, until it finally broke apart during an earthquake and tsunami just south of the Central Archipelago, creating an event known as the Mini-Flood. The country officially became two (it had been threatening to become so for a while), with Ashmanschkra becoming the war peoples of the west, eagerly helping Altar break from Marricopra, though the Altarians themselves didn't care too much as Marricopra provided financial support. Sevdrolet was a nation of pacifists, and remained strictly neutral in all the Central Basin conflicts, though it formed close ties with the CoN. They became known for their art, and hated being invaded. However, seeing as they had no army, this happened over and over despite their declaring independence and creating more and more statues of famous Sevdroletis, which no one cared to take down as they actually looked quite good. The world began to be split over "do you support Ashmanschkra or Sevdrolet?" but as neither nation had the patience to fight the other, it all came to naught and everyone stopped caring, because the islands had moved into such a location to be perfect for beach vacations and millions flooded there. == The Economic Collapse of 1684 == After a little less than a century of relative-but-not-really peace, war in Skelmrelm completely demolished the economy of said country, bringing upon general economic collapse worldwide, as just about everyone depended on Skelmrelm for one reason or another. Does this name sound unfamiliar? Odorslat had, during this time, undergone yet another civil war that led to its renaming. The citizens were relieved that they were at least not called Knitted-Socks-ians. Skelmrelm during this time had moved past Marricopra in terms of GDP (and, in some areas, development) and become the new world epicenter, especially for the north. Gondolinius still considered Marricopra their main provider, however, and Silencio found the Kingdom easier to access. However, whatever petty disputes they had became unimportant in the face of total annihilation of all they'd worked for. However, with the discovery of oil deposits on Sevdrolet, the world economy slowly rebuilt as nations focused southward, and then back North after the Skelmrelm war ended. By 1690, the world economy had generally stabilized. == The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat == This is why the mountains have two main ranges. However, though the epicenter of this was in the mountains, aftershocks were so strong in the capital (on that bay just south of them) that it was completely demolished. This created a political split over who should rule where and how they should rebuild, and effectively ended the Republic of Odorslat as it was known. War broke out over the ruins of Odorslat-Priyoria, ending with the Treaty of What's Left of Priyoriya that split the country in four: Skelmrelm, the Republic of Saldon, the Kingdom of the Remnant, and the Spire Realm. The Kingdom of the Remnant was basically a puppet state of both Saldon and Skelmrelm, but at different times, seeing as it was located on the ruins of Priyoriya and only populated by a few thousand, mostly scholars and archaeologists there to study and preserve what was left of the city. Odorslat once again was no longer a world power, and Silencio began to compete with Marricopra for the title of highest GDP, until the 1794 Marricopran Revolution (see: [[The We're Sick of King Salamandario Revolution]]), after which the country turned inward to sort out its own problems. By 1799, the world was caught in a precarious balance between Skelmrelm and Silencio, as they had no access to Marricopra's resources (except for Sevdrolet, which the Kingdom just couldn't ignore). This resulted in a slight dip in the economy ~1800, but it eventually stabilized as Silencio began to compensate, and finally Marricopra (which had at last rid itself of Altar) reentered the world, about half the size it had been before. == Lacertiliitis: 1837 to the End of the World as We Know It == The disease began among the thousands of lizard species found at Great Lacertilia National Park. Still no one knows exactly which species spread it to humans, but the story goes like this: shopowner Tylline Tortatolus and his family visited the park in Firbicus 1837, and three weeks after returning, his wife died. Within the next two days, both of his children complained of pain in their mouth, throat, and stomach. Two days later, they died. Tylline lasted long enough to tell his neighbors of the strange occurrence, and then died in the home of musician Vollus Senddarry. The disease spread from the Senddarry household across the small town of Markpinne. The disease made it via caravan to the capital, and spread quickly through the population there. Then-Queen Nichra III soon realized what was happening and enforced a quarantine in the northeast part of the city, but not before boats carrying timber - the country's main resource - had reached Saldon, Gondolinius, and Ortalor, spreading the disease there too. Soon testing was performed in the King Jimmy Central Hospital, and it was found that the disease turned one's saliva to hydrochloric acid. Scientists worldwide set to work creating a vaccine, but the most they could do was prevent death, though not entirely. Certain anomalies were found in the poorer parts of the city, where most of the population had already gone through a bout of Lizard Pox, a non-fatal disease spread by the Greeg lizard. Those who had already had the Pox were naturally immune to the disease - named Lacertiliitis after the park where it originated - and so many were hired on as doctors or even merely recipients of tests. They were paid by the government for their trouble, and often hired and paid ridiculous amounts of money to take over positions unstaffed because of the epidemic. Throughout the rest of the world scientists worked aggressively on creating a vaccine, or, in the case of Ashmanschkra, spreading Lizard Pox to as many citizens as possible. Because of this, most of the population had a natural immunity to Lacertiliitis by 1848. It is considered one of the most effective public health initiatives to date. Saldon and Skelmrelm teamed up to create a semi-effective vaccine, which forced out the virus by the second day, often leaving people on the brink of death but at least alive. They took to spreading numbing shots among their population, which at least prevented the pain caused from the acidic saliva. The vaccine was spread with the Kingdom of the Remnant, which consented to being absorbed into Skelmrelm, but the Spire Realm told themselves they could "handle this." They were all dead in three weeks. Ortalor stole some of the vaccine from Skelmrelm and tried to refine it, but only ended up creating a highly addictive pain medicine, which created a lot of addicts and became very illegal after a year, when the government finally realized the problem. They attempted to use the "Lizard Pox Solution," but as their climate wasn't sustainable to the Greeg, the initiative failed. The disease finally died out in 1849 after most of the population succumbed to it. Gondolinius learned to work with the disease, and the hot climate created its first mutation, spread by melted cells. This resulted in a burning sensation throughout the body, which the Southern Order (now a strong theo-political presence in the area) promoted as a religious experience, not knowing how deadly the disease was. Lacertiliitis and the "Fire of the Heavens" mutation spread even more rapidly throughout Gondolinius and eventually to the abandoned Fireplague Hospital, which still had the remains of fireplague all over it. The Imperialist Party of Gondolinius set up an initiative to promote the quarantining of sick individuals. The Southern Order fought back against this relentlessly, creating a split in the general population over whether or not the "Fire of the Heavens" phenomena was a religious experience or a serious medical condition. Those who considered it religious were eventually put in a mental hospital during the Second Apocalypse, and the rest ran away to the desert. That aside, the disease died out in the urban parts of Gondolinius, but thrived in the rural areas around the Fireplague hospital, which created it's own problem, but more on that later... In the CoN, where the disease was spread from Marricopra via Sevdrolet and the oilfield workers there, the disease also mutated, creating something similar to the "Fire of the Heavens" bacteria, but instead causing only the skin to burn and dry out. This version wasn't completely fatal, even though Lizard Pox wasn't prevalent among the CoN. It was thought that the melting of the cells in the unceasing heat lessened the effects, but the disease was eradicated in 1845 due to a spike in heat and a drought, and so was never able to be studied. By 1850, the disease had calmed down worldwide (except for Gondolinius, but that's next). == For Those Of You Who Wish to Write Your Own Histories == While the Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War is going on, everyone else is distracted with their own problems (except for you, Gondolinius - you got pulled into the war too). If you want to write your own history, here are some worldwide events to keep in mind: - The Fireplague Epidemic (1406-1455 AY), which originated in the Mocze desert (wiped out most of the Northern Order) - The War of the Chicken Pie, which started over a cooking competition held in the KoPWARToD, which was already having its own internal struggles that several countries simply threw themselves into (1507-1509 AY) - The Second Fireplague Epidemic (1509 - ended the WotCP - to 1576 AY; off and on throughout these years) - The split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet, which gave us the two desert islands south of Centrius (1599 AY). I might jump in with this one and make it a war, but for now feel free to keep this in mind as you write your own history - The economic collapse of 1684: War in Skelmrelm, a major world power, led to its dependents' economies going through a Great Depression-ish situation. - The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat. This destroyed the capital and led to the collapse of the Republic, leading to the country being divided up into several groups (including Saldon) - Lacertiliitis (1837): a disease originating in the Great Lacertilia National Park (Marricopra) that spread to the greater population and made it across the sea to Ortalor, Saldon, and whatever state Gondolinius was in at the time. Turns your saliva to hydrochloric acid (ouch); death within 2 days unless you have a specific gene that repels it, or if you've gotten Lizard Pox before. - Lacertiliitis/Fireplague Meltdown: Doctors and scientists from all corners of the world scramble to the Central Archipelago, which is declared a neutral zone for the time, to create a vaccination for the mutated Lacertiliitis-Fireplague disease, which has rendered large portions of Mocze and Gusmoas inhabitable. This disease wipes out almost all of Del Sarcarmo, half of Seseco, and the monarch of Marricopra, leading to a general state of panic. Most of the world goes into COVID-style lockdown, making the economy grind to a halt and leaving many countries unable to govern themselves. Circa 1895 AY. - The Second Apocalypse (1906). This is the final event leading to where our nations are today. Resulting from a second Lacertiliitis-Fireplague pandemic combined with the Fire Wars, in which the Northern Order sets fire to Gondolinius, Gondolinius declares war on Marricopra, and then goes back and declares war on the Order. About a third of the world's population is lost. The world stabilizes ~1920, which eventually leads to where we are today (and why everyone is so salty at each other). 1b254eb1df789b8aeca77ffd9d476431cc9db5fb 243 240 2023-09-13T20:24:05Z BellatriX 4 wikitext text/x-wiki They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya. Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. (Disclaimer: this is - as of September 6th, 2023 - basically a history of Eddenarah, but I'm trying to touch base on everything else too) == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate the Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and while Eddenarah had the upper hand at first, the Lobsterites gradually improved. When they unified under the name Children of Nephrops then they routed Eddenarah off of the islands. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish were the Children of Nephrops (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Children of Nephrops (CoN) just to say "HA!" The CoN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The CoN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the CoN's capital. The CoN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The CoN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The CoN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the CoN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the CoN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the CoN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the CoN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the CoN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. South Seseco is also a place of many inventions, the [[Traffic Signal]] (1872, [[Saint Vennes]], [[Deprivique]]), [[Printing Press]] (1450, [[Burges]], [[Grand Duchy of Burges]]) and [[Controlled Access Motorway]] (1913, [[Kvev]], [[Tornobyl]]) were all invented here. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chkyeb]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. The two sides united in 1550 to form the Chkyeb Uniate. Expansion continued eastward. In 1620 a civil war began. ==== The Jenois War of 1620 ==== Jenois was an exclave of people who remained in the Mountain Culture. They called themselves Kruchtevs (a common term used to refer to them in a negative light was "Crookies") and their capital was [[Kauter]]. [[Jenois|Jenois City]], as we know it today was an orsk catholic outpost that spoke Letique. The Kruchtevs were under severe penal laws, below is a basic rundown: * Crookies may not buy land unless the land had been owned by another Crookie. * Crookies may not go to school. * Crookies could not practice religion. * Crookies may only speak Letique. * Crookies may not possess anything that could be used to defend themselves * A maximum of one shop could be opened by a Crookie in any one town. * Crookies could only shop at places owned by Crookies. * Crookies could not ride carriages or own horses. * So on, So forth The first "Crookie Uprising" was actually in 1590 but it failed miserably and half of [[Kauter]] was burned to the ground. In 1620, with help from the [[Tornobyl Arms Association]] they were able to start a revolution in Kauter. The surrounding area was quickly captured and the [[Kruchtev Union]] was declared. They were followed by Deprivique, a region also descriminated against because of their Vizantian Catholic faith. Together the two new nations took over everything east of the Chkyiv Mountains. At home, the Uniate was struggling to keep the peace as a new disease called "Crookpox" (named so because many believed it was a consequence of discriminating against the Kruchtevs) was running rampant throughout the country. The [[Kruchtev Union]], [[Deprivique Republic]] and [[Letoque State]] (Puppet of Deprivique) were given fully recognised independance. ==== Reunited ==== In 1720, Letoque joined Deprivique to create the [[Holy Vizantian Union]]. The [[Kruchtev Union]] united with the [[City State of Tornve]] to create the [[New Kruchtev State]]. In 1722 the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] reunited with the [[Verst Empire]] and in 1723 a war began. ==== War of Letoque (1723 - 1770) ==== On the 3rd September 1723 the 2nd Chkyeb Union declared war on the [[Holy Vizantian Union]] and the [[New Kruchtev State]]. At first, their attack was strong, they took over Tornve and many mountanious regions. But then winter hit. The counteroffensive was described by a verst survivor as "Fast and sharp". They mainly attacked at nigh tand in small numbers. The Verst army was pushed all the way back to Verst. By then Tornobyl joined the war and more reinforcements were coming from allied nations. The war went on like this for 47 years. Then they decided they would better just unite, lest lose anymore lives. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the east (1530): The wast was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Let's start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting each other. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. Deprivique natives originated from somewhere along the [[Vizantus Strait]]. They left their homeland of Dovranland due to a war with some neighboring power. We don't know how long ago this was, but best historians estimate that it was during the Post Flood era. [[File:0e5138d4-7ec9-4f38-9982-3b7a8d3af6d5.jpg|center|thumb|Mural in Petersport depicting the natives of Deprivique leaving their homeland circa 1198]]Deprivique was two kingdoms, the Grand Duchy of Hallem and the Kingdom of Leynes (now Petersport). They united in 748 to form the [[Deprivique Union]]. They were invaded by their neighbour, [[Letoque]] to the north ~912 during the [[Letoque Conquests]]. While they were independant not much notable happened. ===== Jenois ===== Today [[Jenois]] is a disputed canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] (Officially it is part of the canton [[Letoque Jenois]]) It does not have a very unique culture at all, they are basically just people from the Chkyiv Mountains who emmigrated west and met the Letoque people. Something that is notable about them is that they were hit incredibly hard during the Lacertiliitis. Almost three quarters of their population died, half of the remaining emmigrated. The city of Jenois was almost empty by 1900. They repopulated at very impressive rates, and today the region has a population of 1.4 Million. ===== Letoque ===== Letoque is and always was the dominant power in the West. The people of Letoque (Letiquain)'s origins are unknown but we think they came from the same place as the Tornoblites. The capital of Letoque is [[Saint Vennes]]. It is the second most populous canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] but has no city over one million in population. Over it's history Letoque has had a very unique take on land, similar to that of the Russian Empire. This encouraged people to spread out which is why they are significantly less dense than the other cantons. Letoque is home to Jenois, a disputed canton in it's east. Letoque lost land and was eventually destroyed in the [[Letoque Wars]] which lasted from 1610 - 1670 and main belligrents were the Verst Empire and Grand Duchy of Burges (GDB seceded from the Chkyeb Uniate in 1620). ==== Summary ==== South Seseco has had a history of civil wars, disease and violent wars, however it has also had times of prosperity. The "Seseco Golden Age" was the time from 1723 - 1803 both started and ended by war, but during which there was no fighting and instead inventions, discoveries and industrialisation. == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the CoN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The CoN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame, which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the CoN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == For those of you who are too lazy to read: basically the three powers of the Centrius Basin were at war off and on for 73 (and a quarter!) years. This was the last major war of this type, and ended with the CoN regaining control of the islands (for now...). In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the CoN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in late 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the CoN capital, while the CoN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). After half a year of this, all sides realized that this type of warfare was entirely unsustainable, and called a year-and-a-half ceasefire to build up their resources. In 1304 AY, Marricopra launched an assault on Centrius, and held and defended the island for ten years. The CoN was too busy rebuilding its capital for what was at least the third time, and so it was no difficulty for Marricopra to hold back the meager Ashmanschkri army, until 1314, when the CoN rejoined the battle, heading straight for the Marricopran capital. It was the worst destruction the area had seen since the Flood. Marricopra immediately moved backwards to defend their capital, and while the CoN-Marricopra conflict went on in what remained of the Valley of Pryoriya, Ashmanschkra took the islands. Marricopra eventually pushed back the CoN to the far East. The loss from this set of fighting sparked another ceasefire, this one lasting four and a half years. This truce was broken by the CoN, who made their first stab at Ashmanschkra. This time it was successful, and they officially owned the Ashmanschrki army (Sevdrolet refused to join this war. This created a rift in the country, but more on this later) for a time. However, the Army of Ashmanschkra the Inevitable refused to be owned by any other faction, and rebelled against the CoN generals, which put a slight dent in the CoN army, but mostly distracted them from the Marricopra 1326 invasion of Centrius. Marricopra owned the islands for another 5 years, in which the CoN ''and'' Ashmanschkra banded together (ironically) to shove them out, but the Marricopran army was so large they couldn't manage this until 1332, and then Ashmanschkra turned on the CoN, and they fought it out for a few years while Marricopra went back to rebuilding and making poisons from the lizards in the only national reserve, which was overhunted anyway. The longest ceasefire was from 1336-1343, after which Marricopra and the CoN simultaneously pulled support from the Order (both North and South). Ashmanschkra admitted defeat and decided to focus on its quickly worsening relations with the pacifist Sevdrolet. Once the Order got involved, almost everything within view was burned to the ground, Centrius became so inhabitable everyone wondered why they still fought over it, and King Vilassey of Marricopra died in battle, leaving no heirs but his niece, Nichra, who became the first Queen of Marricopra. She had little to no popular support, as she was a woman, but proved to be a brilliant strategist and brought Marricopra to an almost decisive victory at the Fourty-Fifth Battle of Great Nephrops Island, until the southern Order turned on them and Marricopra surrendered and shut its doors to the world. The CoN claimed Centrius, renamed it the Grand Lobster Islands, and the Order went home. In 1374, the Treaty of the Lobsterites was signed (grudgingly) by CoN general Parsley and Queen Nichra, who was at the very least lauded for her dignity in the face of such a crushing defeat. == The Fireplague Epidemic: 1406-1455 == The disease technically began spreading in 1402, but given the slowness of travel at the time, it didn't spread beyond the Great and True (Northern) Order until 1406. The One and Only Everlasting Flame apparently had microbes in them. Harmful ones. And after centuries of humans tending to the fire and its odd microbiome, they latched onto the Arch-Priests, and spread throughout the Mocze Desert's tent cities. It began with the Chief Arch-Priest, Bengellus, burning with a 106 degree fever. The next day, all four other Arch-Priests woke up with the same fever, and Bengellus broke out in hives said to burn "as if the Eternal Fire had itself showered its infernal sparks upon the skin." On the third day, Bengellus began vomiting blood. On the fourth, he died. The four remaining Arch-Priests all exhibited the same symptoms, but not within the same time frame. Hibriz died the day the boils appeared; Porops had a fever for a week and then got the boils and coughed blood (and died) all on the same day; Caprokcil only ever had boils, which lasted a week and a half and then he died with no warning; and Nezrel had a fever for two days, boils for a week and a half, and eventually recovered with only some light scarring. From Nezrel and the other four's caretakers, the disease spread across Mocze without warning and with no cure. Only a quarter of the Northern Order survives, and they start lighting fires in what is by then proto-Gondolinius, which spreads the disease through the southern Order like wildfire, and across the ocean to Marricopra via merchant ships. Marricopra gladly passes this on to the CoN and Ashmansckra via Altar (which has begun to rebel). All the guards on Great Nephrops Island die from the disease, but no one dares go replace them for fear of becoming infected themselves. Centrius goes unclaimed - it is during this time that Sevdrolet goes and unofficially names it the Central Archipelago, and the name sticks. The disease is sent north to Odorslat, but very few die as the cold climate cannot sustain the archaea-bacteria [''and yes, I'm basing the vaguely scientific nature of fireplague off of my 7th grade science class'']. What little of the disease can spread makes its way to Del Sacarmo/KoPWARToD, where it eventually dies out but destabilizes the government enough for a complete overhaul ['''Asisi - this is your chance to step in and write your history]'''. After killing about a fifth of the Marricopran population (including the monarch, but they had a direct heir), more than half of Mocze, and a sixth of the rest of the world, the disease eventually dies down in 1455, as the population had naturally immunized itself, save for a few sparse outbreaks in remote areas. == The War of the Chicken Pie: 1507-1509 == In 1507 AY, what remained of the KoPWARToD (a small scrap of land on Seseco; now Hakha Rakhine) held the First (and only) International Baking Competition, inviting famous bakers worldwide. Among them were Gondolinius's Oragor Mentaylis, who owned the World's Largest Bakery (and nobody dared fight him on that); Sevdrolet's Jimalangang Kobrob; and the KoPWARToD's Happra Ling King, whose alliance was to the Rakhine rebellion brewing up north. Upon his winning the competition, the judges had no idea what country to award the top prize to, and so (as is, of course, usual) war was declared between the KoPWARToD and Hakha Rakhine. Marricopra threw themselves into the war, angry over the loss of Ashmanschkra and Centrius centuries before (and from getting last place in the competition), and led by Queen Ingelle "the Mad." They quickly drew out after the mysterious death of Ingelle and the ascension of King Billy Bob the Sixth, who gave the KoPWARToD several million dollars in reparations and an apology letter. What remained of the Northern Order finally wiped themselves out by throwing themselves and their disease-ridden bodies into the war. This ended with the Treaty of the Kitchen, the formation of Hakha Rakhine and the final dissolution of the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and the subsequent breakout of fireplague across Seseco. == The Second Fireplague Epidemic: 1509-1576 == The Seseco epidemic ended within a few months (see: the first fireplague epidemic and how that worked on Odorslat), but spread back south to Mocze via merchants from Santa Marino and then to Gondolinius, who sent diseased persons to Silencio and Marricopra out of spite (remember - they had their beginnings as religious fanatics). The two almost declared war in return, but then half of their armies fell ill and they decided otherwise. This epidemic went off and on for the next seventy years, with each breakout having epicenters in oddly diverse places, among them being the new Hakha Rakhine, the southernmost 2 blocks of a city in Odorslat, and Croissant Island. This epidemic ended with the Blizzard to End All Blizzards, which lasted exactly 3 days but was enough to kill the archaea-bacteria worldwide. The disease was confined to the We Hate Fire Quarantine Hospital, which was set up in the Mocze desert over the original site of the fire to ensure no one lighted it again. I would say there was peace from here on out, but there isn't, because this was when I remembered that tectonic plates were a thing. == The Split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet: 1599 and a couple years after that == The large, desert-y island of Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet, named after the two people groups that lived there, was situated on a fault line that became more precarious with each year after the Flood, until it finally broke apart during an earthquake and tsunami just south of the Central Archipelago, creating an event known as the Mini-Flood. The country officially became two (it had been threatening to become so for a while), with Ashmanschkra becoming the war peoples of the west, eagerly helping Altar break from Marricopra, though the Altarians themselves didn't care too much as Marricopra provided financial support. Sevdrolet was a nation of pacifists, and remained strictly neutral in all the Central Basin conflicts, though it formed close ties with the CoN. They became known for their art, and hated being invaded. However, seeing as they had no army, this happened over and over despite their declaring independence and creating more and more statues of famous Sevdroletis, which no one cared to take down as they actually looked quite good. The world began to be split over "do you support Ashmanschkra or Sevdrolet?" but as neither nation had the patience to fight the other, it all came to naught and everyone stopped caring, because the islands had moved into such a location to be perfect for beach vacations and millions flooded there. == The Economic Collapse of 1684 == After a little less than a century of relative-but-not-really peace, war in Skelmrelm completely demolished the economy of said country, bringing upon general economic collapse worldwide, as just about everyone depended on Skelmrelm for one reason or another. Does this name sound unfamiliar? Odorslat had, during this time, undergone yet another civil war that led to its renaming. The citizens were relieved that they were at least not called Knitted-Socks-ians. Skelmrelm during this time had moved past Marricopra in terms of GDP (and, in some areas, development) and become the new world epicenter, especially for the north. Gondolinius still considered Marricopra their main provider, however, and Silencio found the Kingdom easier to access. However, whatever petty disputes they had became unimportant in the face of total annihilation of all they'd worked for. However, with the discovery of oil deposits on Sevdrolet, the world economy slowly rebuilt as nations focused southward, and then back North after the Skelmrelm war ended. By 1690, the world economy had generally stabilized. == The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat == This is why the mountains have two main ranges. However, though the epicenter of this was in the mountains, aftershocks were so strong in the capital (on that bay just south of them) that it was completely demolished. This created a political split over who should rule where and how they should rebuild, and effectively ended the Republic of Odorslat as it was known. War broke out over the ruins of Odorslat-Priyoria, ending with the Treaty of What's Left of Priyoriya that split the country in four: Skelmrelm, the Republic of Saldon, the Kingdom of the Remnant, and the Spire Realm. The Kingdom of the Remnant was basically a puppet state of both Saldon and Skelmrelm, but at different times, seeing as it was located on the ruins of Priyoriya and only populated by a few thousand, mostly scholars and archaeologists there to study and preserve what was left of the city. Odorslat once again was no longer a world power, and Silencio began to compete with Marricopra for the title of highest GDP, until the 1794 Marricopran Revolution (see: [[The We're Sick of King Salamandario Revolution]]), after which the country turned inward to sort out its own problems. By 1799, the world was caught in a precarious balance between Skelmrelm and Silencio, as they had no access to Marricopra's resources (except for Sevdrolet, which the Kingdom just couldn't ignore). This resulted in a slight dip in the economy ~1800, but it eventually stabilized as Silencio began to compensate, and finally Marricopra (which had at last rid itself of Altar) reentered the world, about half the size it had been before. == Lacertiliitis: 1837-1850 == The disease began among the thousands of lizard species found at Great Lacertilia National Park. Still no one knows exactly which species spread it to humans, but the story goes like this: shopowner Tylline Tortatolus and his family visited the park in Firbicus 1837, and three weeks after returning, his wife died. Within the next two days, both of his children complained of pain in their mouth, throat, and stomach. Two days later, they died. Tylline lasted long enough to tell his neighbors of the strange occurrence, and then died in the home of musician Vollus Senddarry. The disease spread from the Senddarry household across the small town of Markpinne. The disease made it via caravan to the capital, and spread quickly through the population there. Then-Queen Nichra III soon realized what was happening and enforced a quarantine in the northeast part of the city, but not before boats carrying timber - the country's main resource - had reached Saldon, Gondolinius, and Ortalor, spreading the disease there too. Soon testing was performed in the King Jimmy Central Hospital, and it was found that the disease turned one's saliva to hydrochloric acid. Scientists worldwide set to work creating a vaccine, but the most they could do was prevent death, though not entirely. Certain anomalies were found in the poorer parts of the city, where most of the population had already gone through a bout of Lizard Pox, a non-fatal disease spread by the Greeg lizard. Those who had already had the Pox were naturally immune to the disease - named Lacertiliitis after the park where it originated - and so many were hired on as doctors or even merely recipients of tests. They were paid by the government for their trouble, and often hired and paid ridiculous amounts of money to take over positions unstaffed because of the epidemic. Throughout the rest of the world scientists worked aggressively on creating a vaccine, or, in the case of Ashmanschkra, spreading Lizard Pox to as many citizens as possible. Because of this, most of the population had a natural immunity to Lacertiliitis by 1848. It is considered one of the most effective public health initiatives to date. Saldon and Skelmrelm teamed up to create a semi-effective vaccine, which forced out the virus by the second day, often leaving people on the brink of death but at least alive. They took to spreading numbing shots among their population, which at least prevented the pain caused from the acidic saliva. The vaccine was spread with the Kingdom of the Remnant, which consented to being absorbed into Skelmrelm, but the Spire Realm told themselves they could "handle this." They were all dead in three weeks. Ortalor stole some of the vaccine from Skelmrelm and tried to refine it, but only ended up creating a highly addictive pain medicine, which created a lot of addicts and became very illegal after a year, when the government finally realized the problem. They attempted to use the "Lizard Pox Solution," but as their climate wasn't sustainable to the Greeg, the initiative failed. The disease finally died out in 1849 after most of the population succumbed to it. Gondolinius learned to work with the disease, and the hot climate created its first mutation, spread by melted cells. This resulted in a burning sensation throughout the body, which the Southern Order (now a strong theo-political presence in the area) promoted as a religious experience, not knowing how deadly the disease was. Lacertiliitis and the "Fire of the Heavens" mutation spread even more rapidly throughout Gondolinius and eventually to the abandoned We Hate Fire Hospital, which still had the remains of fireplague all over it. The Imperialist Party of Gondolinius set up an initiative to promote the quarantining of sick individuals. The Southern Order fought back against this relentlessly, creating a split in the general population over whether or not the "Fire of the Heavens" phenomena was a religious experience or a serious medical condition. Those who considered it religious were eventually put in a mental hospital during the Second Apocalypse, and the rest ran away to the desert. That aside, the disease died out in the urban parts of Gondolinius, but thrived in the rural areas around the Fireplague hospital, which created it's own problem, but more on that later... In the CoN, where the disease was spread from Marricopra via Sevdrolet and the oilfield workers there, the disease also mutated, creating something similar to the "Fire of the Heavens" bacteria, but instead causing only the skin to burn and dry out. This version wasn't completely fatal, even though Lizard Pox wasn't prevalent among the CoN. It was thought that the melting of the cells in the unceasing heat lessened the effects, but the disease was eradicated in 1845 due to a spike in heat and a drought, and so was never able to be studied. By 1850, the disease had calmed down worldwide (except for Gondolinius, but that's next). == Lacertiliitis-Fireplague Meltdown: 1895-1901 == The worst pandemic known to mankind. It began in what was renamed the Great Imperial Quarantine Hospital in central Gondolinius (the site has once again been abandoned, and is no longer owned by the country), where the archaea-bacteria known as fireplague had lain dormant on all the abandoned tools, beds, and especially in the indent in the floor that had once been the One and Only Everlasting Flame. As Lacertiliitis patients flooded in, using all the infected equipment and lying in the fireplague-infested beds, the two diseases began to combine, resulting in the first case of what was known, rather creatively, as "Lacertiliitis-fireplague." The first recorded patient was Appap Nipzap, a dockworker, of southern Gondolinius. more later == For Those Of You Who Wish to Write Your Own Histories == While the Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War is going on, everyone else is distracted with their own problems (except for you, Gondolinius - you got pulled into the war too). If you want to write your own history, here are some worldwide events to keep in mind: - The Fireplague Epidemic (1406-1455 AY), which originated in the Mocze desert (wiped out most of the Northern Order) - The War of the Chicken Pie, which started over a cooking competition held in the KoPWARToD, which was already having its own internal struggles that several countries simply threw themselves into (1507-1509 AY) - The Second Fireplague Epidemic (1509 - ended the WotCP - to 1576 AY; off and on throughout these years) - The split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet, which gave us the two desert islands south of Centrius (1599 AY). I might jump in with this one and make it a war, but for now feel free to keep this in mind as you write your own history - The economic collapse of 1684: War in Skelmrelm, a major world power, led to its dependents' economies going through a Great Depression-ish situation. - The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat. This destroyed the capital and led to the collapse of the Republic, leading to the country being divided up into several groups (including Saldon) - Lacertiliitis (1837): a disease originating in the Great Lacertilia National Park (Marricopra) that spread to the greater population and made it across the sea to Ortalor, Saldon, and whatever state Gondolinius was in at the time. Turns your saliva to hydrochloric acid (ouch); death within 2 days unless you have a specific gene that repels it, or if you've gotten Lizard Pox before. - Lacertiliitis/Fireplague Meltdown: Doctors and scientists from all corners of the world scramble to the Central Archipelago, which is declared a neutral zone for the time, to create a vaccination for the mutated Lacertiliitis-Fireplague disease, which has rendered large portions of Mocze and Gusmoas inhabitable. This disease wipes out almost all of Del Sarcarmo, half of Seseco, and the monarch of Marricopra, leading to a general state of panic. Most of the world goes into COVID-style lockdown, making the economy grind to a halt and leaving many countries unable to govern themselves. Circa 1895 AY. - The Second Apocalypse (1906). This is the final event leading to where our nations are today. Resulting from a second Lacertiliitis-Fireplague pandemic combined with the Fire Wars, in which the Northern Order sets fire to Gondolinius, Gondolinius declares war on Marricopra, and then goes back and declares war on the Order. About a third of the world's population is lost. The world stabilizes ~1920, which eventually leads to where we are today (and why everyone is so salty at each other). fe77baa194ff7ee0fc77967c756ca985379f857c 245 243 2023-09-14T18:40:41Z BellatriX 4 /* Lacertiliitis-Fireplague Meltdown: 1895-1901 */ wikitext text/x-wiki They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya. Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. (Disclaimer: this is - as of September 6th, 2023 - basically a history of Eddenarah, but I'm trying to touch base on everything else too) == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate the Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and while Eddenarah had the upper hand at first, the Lobsterites gradually improved. When they unified under the name Children of Nephrops then they routed Eddenarah off of the islands. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish were the Children of Nephrops (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Children of Nephrops (CoN) just to say "HA!" The CoN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The CoN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the CoN's capital. The CoN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The CoN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The CoN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the CoN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the CoN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the CoN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the CoN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the CoN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. South Seseco is also a place of many inventions, the [[Traffic Signal]] (1872, [[Saint Vennes]], [[Deprivique]]), [[Printing Press]] (1450, [[Burges]], [[Grand Duchy of Burges]]) and [[Controlled Access Motorway]] (1913, [[Kvev]], [[Tornobyl]]) were all invented here. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chkyeb]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. The two sides united in 1550 to form the Chkyeb Uniate. Expansion continued eastward. In 1620 a civil war began. ==== The Jenois War of 1620 ==== Jenois was an exclave of people who remained in the Mountain Culture. They called themselves Kruchtevs (a common term used to refer to them in a negative light was "Crookies") and their capital was [[Kauter]]. [[Jenois|Jenois City]], as we know it today was an orsk catholic outpost that spoke Letique. The Kruchtevs were under severe penal laws, below is a basic rundown: * Crookies may not buy land unless the land had been owned by another Crookie. * Crookies may not go to school. * Crookies could not practice religion. * Crookies may only speak Letique. * Crookies may not possess anything that could be used to defend themselves * A maximum of one shop could be opened by a Crookie in any one town. * Crookies could only shop at places owned by Crookies. * Crookies could not ride carriages or own horses. * So on, So forth The first "Crookie Uprising" was actually in 1590 but it failed miserably and half of [[Kauter]] was burned to the ground. In 1620, with help from the [[Tornobyl Arms Association]] they were able to start a revolution in Kauter. The surrounding area was quickly captured and the [[Kruchtev Union]] was declared. They were followed by Deprivique, a region also descriminated against because of their Vizantian Catholic faith. Together the two new nations took over everything east of the Chkyiv Mountains. At home, the Uniate was struggling to keep the peace as a new disease called "Crookpox" (named so because many believed it was a consequence of discriminating against the Kruchtevs) was running rampant throughout the country. The [[Kruchtev Union]], [[Deprivique Republic]] and [[Letoque State]] (Puppet of Deprivique) were given fully recognised independance. ==== Reunited ==== In 1720, Letoque joined Deprivique to create the [[Holy Vizantian Union]]. The [[Kruchtev Union]] united with the [[City State of Tornve]] to create the [[New Kruchtev State]]. In 1722 the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] reunited with the [[Verst Empire]] and in 1723 a war began. ==== War of Letoque (1723 - 1770) ==== On the 3rd September 1723 the 2nd Chkyeb Union declared war on the [[Holy Vizantian Union]] and the [[New Kruchtev State]]. At first, their attack was strong, they took over Tornve and many mountanious regions. But then winter hit. The counteroffensive was described by a verst survivor as "Fast and sharp". They mainly attacked at nigh tand in small numbers. The Verst army was pushed all the way back to Verst. By then Tornobyl joined the war and more reinforcements were coming from allied nations. The war went on like this for 47 years. Then they decided they would better just unite, lest lose anymore lives. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the east (1530): The wast was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Let's start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting each other. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. Deprivique natives originated from somewhere along the [[Vizantus Strait]]. They left their homeland of Dovranland due to a war with some neighboring power. We don't know how long ago this was, but best historians estimate that it was during the Post Flood era. [[File:0e5138d4-7ec9-4f38-9982-3b7a8d3af6d5.jpg|center|thumb|Mural in Petersport depicting the natives of Deprivique leaving their homeland circa 1198]]Deprivique was two kingdoms, the Grand Duchy of Hallem and the Kingdom of Leynes (now Petersport). They united in 748 to form the [[Deprivique Union]]. They were invaded by their neighbour, [[Letoque]] to the north ~912 during the [[Letoque Conquests]]. While they were independant not much notable happened. ===== Jenois ===== Today [[Jenois]] is a disputed canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] (Officially it is part of the canton [[Letoque Jenois]]) It does not have a very unique culture at all, they are basically just people from the Chkyiv Mountains who emmigrated west and met the Letoque people. Something that is notable about them is that they were hit incredibly hard during the Lacertiliitis. Almost three quarters of their population died, half of the remaining emmigrated. The city of Jenois was almost empty by 1900. They repopulated at very impressive rates, and today the region has a population of 1.4 Million. ===== Letoque ===== Letoque is and always was the dominant power in the West. The people of Letoque (Letiquain)'s origins are unknown but we think they came from the same place as the Tornoblites. The capital of Letoque is [[Saint Vennes]]. It is the second most populous canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] but has no city over one million in population. Over it's history Letoque has had a very unique take on land, similar to that of the Russian Empire. This encouraged people to spread out which is why they are significantly less dense than the other cantons. Letoque is home to Jenois, a disputed canton in it's east. Letoque lost land and was eventually destroyed in the [[Letoque Wars]] which lasted from 1610 - 1670 and main belligrents were the Verst Empire and Grand Duchy of Burges (GDB seceded from the Chkyeb Uniate in 1620). ==== Summary ==== South Seseco has had a history of civil wars, disease and violent wars, however it has also had times of prosperity. The "Seseco Golden Age" was the time from 1723 - 1803 both started and ended by war, but during which there was no fighting and instead inventions, discoveries and industrialisation. == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the CoN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The CoN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame, which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the CoN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == For those of you who are too lazy to read: basically the three powers of the Centrius Basin were at war off and on for 73 (and a quarter!) years. This was the last major war of this type, and ended with the CoN regaining control of the islands (for now...). In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the CoN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in late 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the CoN capital, while the CoN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). After half a year of this, all sides realized that this type of warfare was entirely unsustainable, and called a year-and-a-half ceasefire to build up their resources. In 1304 AY, Marricopra launched an assault on Centrius, and held and defended the island for ten years. The CoN was too busy rebuilding its capital for what was at least the third time, and so it was no difficulty for Marricopra to hold back the meager Ashmanschkri army, until 1314, when the CoN rejoined the battle, heading straight for the Marricopran capital. It was the worst destruction the area had seen since the Flood. Marricopra immediately moved backwards to defend their capital, and while the CoN-Marricopra conflict went on in what remained of the Valley of Pryoriya, Ashmanschkra took the islands. Marricopra eventually pushed back the CoN to the far East. The loss from this set of fighting sparked another ceasefire, this one lasting four and a half years. This truce was broken by the CoN, who made their first stab at Ashmanschkra. This time it was successful, and they officially owned the Ashmanschrki army (Sevdrolet refused to join this war. This created a rift in the country, but more on this later) for a time. However, the Army of Ashmanschkra the Inevitable refused to be owned by any other faction, and rebelled against the CoN generals, which put a slight dent in the CoN army, but mostly distracted them from the Marricopra 1326 invasion of Centrius. Marricopra owned the islands for another 5 years, in which the CoN ''and'' Ashmanschkra banded together (ironically) to shove them out, but the Marricopran army was so large they couldn't manage this until 1332, and then Ashmanschkra turned on the CoN, and they fought it out for a few years while Marricopra went back to rebuilding and making poisons from the lizards in the only national reserve, which was overhunted anyway. The longest ceasefire was from 1336-1343, after which Marricopra and the CoN simultaneously pulled support from the Order (both North and South). Ashmanschkra admitted defeat and decided to focus on its quickly worsening relations with the pacifist Sevdrolet. Once the Order got involved, almost everything within view was burned to the ground, Centrius became so inhabitable everyone wondered why they still fought over it, and King Vilassey of Marricopra died in battle, leaving no heirs but his niece, Nichra, who became the first Queen of Marricopra. She had little to no popular support, as she was a woman, but proved to be a brilliant strategist and brought Marricopra to an almost decisive victory at the Fourty-Fifth Battle of Great Nephrops Island, until the southern Order turned on them and Marricopra surrendered and shut its doors to the world. The CoN claimed Centrius, renamed it the Grand Lobster Islands, and the Order went home. In 1374, the Treaty of the Lobsterites was signed (grudgingly) by CoN general Parsley and Queen Nichra, who was at the very least lauded for her dignity in the face of such a crushing defeat. == The Fireplague Epidemic: 1406-1455 == The disease technically began spreading in 1402, but given the slowness of travel at the time, it didn't spread beyond the Great and True (Northern) Order until 1406. The One and Only Everlasting Flame apparently had microbes in them. Harmful ones. And after centuries of humans tending to the fire and its odd microbiome, they latched onto the Arch-Priests, and spread throughout the Mocze Desert's tent cities. It began with the Chief Arch-Priest, Bengellus, burning with a 106 degree fever. The next day, all four other Arch-Priests woke up with the same fever, and Bengellus broke out in hives said to burn "as if the Eternal Fire had itself showered its infernal sparks upon the skin." On the third day, Bengellus began vomiting blood. On the fourth, he died. The four remaining Arch-Priests all exhibited the same symptoms, but not within the same time frame. Hibriz died the day the boils appeared; Porops had a fever for a week and then got the boils and coughed blood (and died) all on the same day; Caprokcil only ever had boils, which lasted a week and a half and then he died with no warning; and Nezrel had a fever for two days, boils for a week and a half, and eventually recovered with only some light scarring. From Nezrel and the other four's caretakers, the disease spread across Mocze without warning and with no cure. Only a quarter of the Northern Order survives, and they start lighting fires in what is by then proto-Gondolinius, which spreads the disease through the southern Order like wildfire, and across the ocean to Marricopra via merchant ships. Marricopra gladly passes this on to the CoN and Ashmansckra via Altar (which has begun to rebel). All the guards on Great Nephrops Island die from the disease, but no one dares go replace them for fear of becoming infected themselves. Centrius goes unclaimed - it is during this time that Sevdrolet goes and unofficially names it the Central Archipelago, and the name sticks. The disease is sent north to Odorslat, but very few die as the cold climate cannot sustain the archaea-bacteria [''and yes, I'm basing the vaguely scientific nature of fireplague off of my 7th grade science class'']. What little of the disease can spread makes its way to Del Sacarmo/KoPWARToD, where it eventually dies out but destabilizes the government enough for a complete overhaul ['''Asisi - this is your chance to step in and write your history]'''. After killing about a fifth of the Marricopran population (including the monarch, but they had a direct heir), more than half of Mocze, and a sixth of the rest of the world, the disease eventually dies down in 1455, as the population had naturally immunized itself, save for a few sparse outbreaks in remote areas. == The War of the Chicken Pie: 1507-1509 == In 1507 AY, what remained of the KoPWARToD (a small scrap of land on Seseco; now Hakha Rakhine) held the First (and only) International Baking Competition, inviting famous bakers worldwide. Among them were Gondolinius's Oragor Mentaylis, who owned the World's Largest Bakery (and nobody dared fight him on that); Sevdrolet's Jimalangang Kobrob; and the KoPWARToD's Happra Ling King, whose alliance was to the Rakhine rebellion brewing up north. Upon his winning the competition, the judges had no idea what country to award the top prize to, and so (as is, of course, usual) war was declared between the KoPWARToD and Hakha Rakhine. Marricopra threw themselves into the war, angry over the loss of Ashmanschkra and Centrius centuries before (and from getting last place in the competition), and led by Queen Ingelle "the Mad." They quickly drew out after the mysterious death of Ingelle and the ascension of King Billy Bob the Sixth, who gave the KoPWARToD several million dollars in reparations and an apology letter. What remained of the Northern Order finally wiped themselves out by throwing themselves and their disease-ridden bodies into the war. This ended with the Treaty of the Kitchen, the formation of Hakha Rakhine and the final dissolution of the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and the subsequent breakout of fireplague across Seseco. == The Second Fireplague Epidemic: 1509-1576 == The Seseco epidemic ended within a few months (see: the first fireplague epidemic and how that worked on Odorslat), but spread back south to Mocze via merchants from Santa Marino and then to Gondolinius, who sent diseased persons to Silencio and Marricopra out of spite (remember - they had their beginnings as religious fanatics). The two almost declared war in return, but then half of their armies fell ill and they decided otherwise. This epidemic went off and on for the next seventy years, with each breakout having epicenters in oddly diverse places, among them being the new Hakha Rakhine, the southernmost 2 blocks of a city in Odorslat, and Croissant Island. This epidemic ended with the Blizzard to End All Blizzards, which lasted exactly 3 days but was enough to kill the archaea-bacteria worldwide. The disease was confined to the We Hate Fire Quarantine Hospital, which was set up in the Mocze desert over the original site of the fire to ensure no one lighted it again. I would say there was peace from here on out, but there isn't, because this was when I remembered that tectonic plates were a thing. == The Split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet: 1599 and a couple years after that == The large, desert-y island of Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet, named after the two people groups that lived there, was situated on a fault line that became more precarious with each year after the Flood, until it finally broke apart during an earthquake and tsunami just south of the Central Archipelago, creating an event known as the Mini-Flood. The country officially became two (it had been threatening to become so for a while), with Ashmanschkra becoming the war peoples of the west, eagerly helping Altar break from Marricopra, though the Altarians themselves didn't care too much as Marricopra provided financial support. Sevdrolet was a nation of pacifists, and remained strictly neutral in all the Central Basin conflicts, though it formed close ties with the CoN. They became known for their art, and hated being invaded. However, seeing as they had no army, this happened over and over despite their declaring independence and creating more and more statues of famous Sevdroletis, which no one cared to take down as they actually looked quite good. The world began to be split over "do you support Ashmanschkra or Sevdrolet?" but as neither nation had the patience to fight the other, it all came to naught and everyone stopped caring, because the islands had moved into such a location to be perfect for beach vacations and millions flooded there. == The Economic Collapse of 1684 == After a little less than a century of relative-but-not-really peace, war in Skelmrelm completely demolished the economy of said country, bringing upon general economic collapse worldwide, as just about everyone depended on Skelmrelm for one reason or another. Does this name sound unfamiliar? Odorslat had, during this time, undergone yet another civil war that led to its renaming. The citizens were relieved that they were at least not called Knitted-Socks-ians. Skelmrelm during this time had moved past Marricopra in terms of GDP (and, in some areas, development) and become the new world epicenter, especially for the north. Gondolinius still considered Marricopra their main provider, however, and Silencio found the Kingdom easier to access. However, whatever petty disputes they had became unimportant in the face of total annihilation of all they'd worked for. However, with the discovery of oil deposits on Sevdrolet, the world economy slowly rebuilt as nations focused southward, and then back North after the Skelmrelm war ended. By 1690, the world economy had generally stabilized. == The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat == This is why the mountains have two main ranges. However, though the epicenter of this was in the mountains, aftershocks were so strong in the capital (on that bay just south of them) that it was completely demolished. This created a political split over who should rule where and how they should rebuild, and effectively ended the Republic of Odorslat as it was known. War broke out over the ruins of Odorslat-Priyoria, ending with the Treaty of What's Left of Priyoriya that split the country in four: Skelmrelm, the Republic of Saldon, the Kingdom of the Remnant, and the Spire Realm. The Kingdom of the Remnant was basically a puppet state of both Saldon and Skelmrelm, but at different times, seeing as it was located on the ruins of Priyoriya and only populated by a few thousand, mostly scholars and archaeologists there to study and preserve what was left of the city. Odorslat once again was no longer a world power, and Silencio began to compete with Marricopra for the title of highest GDP, until the 1794 Marricopran Revolution (see: [[The We're Sick of King Salamandario Revolution]]), after which the country turned inward to sort out its own problems. By 1799, the world was caught in a precarious balance between Skelmrelm and Silencio, as they had no access to Marricopra's resources (except for Sevdrolet, which the Kingdom just couldn't ignore). This resulted in a slight dip in the economy ~1800, but it eventually stabilized as Silencio began to compensate, and finally Marricopra (which had at last rid itself of Altar) reentered the world, about half the size it had been before. == Lacertiliitis: 1837-1850 == The disease began among the thousands of lizard species found at Great Lacertilia National Park. Still no one knows exactly which species spread it to humans, but the story goes like this: shopowner Tylline Tortatolus and his family visited the park in Firbicus 1837, and three weeks after returning, his wife died. Within the next two days, both of his children complained of pain in their mouth, throat, and stomach. Two days later, they died. Tylline lasted long enough to tell his neighbors of the strange occurrence, and then died in the home of musician Vollus Senddarry. The disease spread from the Senddarry household across the small town of Markpinne. The disease made it via caravan to the capital, and spread quickly through the population there. Then-Queen Nichra III soon realized what was happening and enforced a quarantine in the northeast part of the city, but not before boats carrying timber - the country's main resource - had reached Saldon, Gondolinius, and Ortalor, spreading the disease there too. Soon testing was performed in the King Jimmy Central Hospital, and it was found that the disease turned one's saliva to hydrochloric acid. Scientists worldwide set to work creating a vaccine, but the most they could do was prevent death, though not entirely. Certain anomalies were found in the poorer parts of the city, where most of the population had already gone through a bout of Lizard Pox, a non-fatal disease spread by the Greeg lizard. Those who had already had the Pox were naturally immune to the disease - named Lacertiliitis after the park where it originated - and so many were hired on as doctors or even merely recipients of tests. They were paid by the government for their trouble, and often hired and paid ridiculous amounts of money to take over positions unstaffed because of the epidemic. Throughout the rest of the world scientists worked aggressively on creating a vaccine, or, in the case of Ashmanschkra, spreading Lizard Pox to as many citizens as possible. Because of this, most of the population had a natural immunity to Lacertiliitis by 1848. It is considered one of the most effective public health initiatives to date. Saldon and Skelmrelm teamed up to create a semi-effective vaccine, which forced out the virus by the second day, often leaving people on the brink of death but at least alive. They took to spreading numbing shots among their population, which at least prevented the pain caused from the acidic saliva. The vaccine was spread with the Kingdom of the Remnant, which consented to being absorbed into Skelmrelm, but the Spire Realm told themselves they could "handle this." They were all dead in three weeks. Ortalor stole some of the vaccine from Skelmrelm and tried to refine it, but only ended up creating a highly addictive pain medicine, which created a lot of addicts and became very illegal after a year, when the government finally realized the problem. They attempted to use the "Lizard Pox Solution," but as their climate wasn't sustainable to the Greeg, the initiative failed. The disease finally died out in 1849 after most of the population succumbed to it. Gondolinius learned to work with the disease, and the hot climate created its first mutation, spread by melted cells. This resulted in a burning sensation throughout the body, which the Southern Order (now a strong theo-political presence in the area) promoted as a religious experience, not knowing how deadly the disease was. Lacertiliitis and the "Fire of the Heavens" mutation spread even more rapidly throughout Gondolinius and eventually to the abandoned We Hate Fire Hospital, which still had the remains of fireplague all over it. The Imperialist Party of Gondolinius set up an initiative to promote the quarantining of sick individuals. The Southern Order fought back against this relentlessly, creating a split in the general population over whether or not the "Fire of the Heavens" phenomena was a religious experience or a serious medical condition. Those who considered it religious were eventually put in a mental hospital during the Second Apocalypse, and the rest ran away to the desert. That aside, the disease died out in the urban parts of Gondolinius, but thrived in the rural areas around the Fireplague hospital, which created it's own problem, but more on that later... In the CoN, where the disease was spread from Marricopra via Sevdrolet and the oilfield workers there, the disease also mutated, creating something similar to the "Fire of the Heavens" bacteria, but instead causing only the skin to burn and dry out. This version wasn't completely fatal, even though Lizard Pox wasn't prevalent among the CoN. It was thought that the melting of the cells in the unceasing heat lessened the effects, but the disease was eradicated in 1845 due to a spike in heat and a drought, and so was never able to be studied. By 1850, the disease had calmed down worldwide (except for Gondolinius, but that's next). == Lacertiliitis-Fireplague Meltdown: 1895-1901 == The worst pandemic known to mankind. It began in what was renamed the Great Imperial Quarantine Hospital in central Gondolinius (the site has once again been abandoned, and is no longer owned by the country), where the archaea-bacteria known as fireplague had lain dormant on all the abandoned tools, beds, and especially in the indent in the floor that had once been the One and Only Everlasting Flame. As Lacertiliitis patients flooded in, using all the infected equipment and lying in the fireplague-infested beds, the two diseases began to combine, resulting in the first case of what was known, rather creatively, as "Lacertiliitis-fireplague." The first recorded patient was Appap Nipzap, a dockworker, of southern Gondolinius. He first reported a 106-degree fever - the universal signal of fireplague - and the next day his skin turned red, and he was said to claim it "burned worse than the Fire of the Heavens" (a disease he had, at first, survived). Three days after first reporting a fever, the red receded, turning into small boils that bled. After five days he appeared to be recovering, until he reported the signifying mouth-esophagus-stomach pain that came with Lacertiliitis. After a week, he finally coughed up blood and died. The new mutation spread throughout the hospital faster than even the Fire of the Heavens, apparently being more contagious than any previous strain (spread via touch), leaving only two survivors - very pregnant women - who had a strange natural immunity. Lacertiliitis-fireplague spread slowly south and then trickled through the poorer, non-immune southern Gondolinius population. Before the Gondolinian government could figure out what was happening, thousands of carriers, sick, and healthy alike had boarded boats to Gusmoas and Ortalor, one of the world's least populated areas. This mass exodus became the downfall of Imperial Gondolinius, but not quite yet. The sick aboard the Gusmoas-bound boats all died on the way, and only four remained and made it to land. They set fire to the boats they came on and as they incorporated themselves into the Silencian population, millions more died. The several dozens remaining declared themselves Gods and fled into the mountains, only to be discovered nearly a century later by the Orsk Federation. Silencio collapsed, utterly and completely, and the land became inhabitable, overrun by plants, weeds, and rabid animals. On Del Sacarmo, which was still dry and dusty from the sandstorms that plagued them almost a thousand years ago, received the refugees with open arms, only to kill three-quarters of the population. Only those in the North survived, quarantining themselves. The Orsk Federation received the disease via shipments from Santa Marino, and only went into lockdown after half of the population had been killed. Sometime during this the disease makes its way to Marricopra, where it kills King Jimmy the Nineteenth (and last), sending the Kingdom into upheaval. By 1896 the whole world is in lockdown, save for Odorslat, which can't sustain itself very well and goes to war. Saldon and Skelmrelm begin a decades-long war over the general control of Odorslat, which is slowly starving to death. Skelmrelm decides to send all of its scientists to the Central Archipelago, and other countries follow suit. The Shrine of the Great Star Lobster becomes a giant lab, with everyone working according to their own time zone schedule so work is always being done. In 1897 a vaccine is created by a team of Skelmish, Altarian, and Sevdroleti scientists. By 1901, the vaccine is distributed worldwide and rebuilding begins. Until the Second End of the World comes. == The Second Apocalypse: 1906 == == For Those Of You Who Wish to Write Your Own Histories == While the Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War is going on, everyone else is distracted with their own problems (except for you, Gondolinius - you got pulled into the war too). If you want to write your own history, here are some worldwide events to keep in mind: - The Fireplague Epidemic (1406-1455 AY), which originated in the Mocze desert (wiped out most of the Northern Order) - The War of the Chicken Pie, which started over a cooking competition held in the KoPWARToD, which was already having its own internal struggles that several countries simply threw themselves into (1507-1509 AY) - The Second Fireplague Epidemic (1509 - ended the WotCP - to 1576 AY; off and on throughout these years) - The split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet, which gave us the two desert islands south of Centrius (1599 AY). I might jump in with this one and make it a war, but for now feel free to keep this in mind as you write your own history - The economic collapse of 1684: War in Skelmrelm, a major world power, led to its dependents' economies going through a Great Depression-ish situation. - The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat. This destroyed the capital and led to the collapse of the Republic, leading to the country being divided up into several groups (including Saldon) - Lacertiliitis (1837): a disease originating in the Great Lacertilia National Park (Marricopra) that spread to the greater population and made it across the sea to Ortalor, Saldon, and whatever state Gondolinius was in at the time. Turns your saliva to hydrochloric acid (ouch); death within 2 days unless you have a specific gene that repels it, or if you've gotten Lizard Pox before. - Lacertiliitis/Fireplague Meltdown: Doctors and scientists from all corners of the world scramble to the Central Archipelago, which is declared a neutral zone for the time, to create a vaccination for the mutated Lacertiliitis-Fireplague disease, which has rendered large portions of Mocze and Gusmoas inhabitable. This disease wipes out almost all of Del Sarcarmo, all of Gusmoas, half of Seseco, and the monarch of Marricopra, leading to a general state of panic. Most of the world goes into COVID-style lockdown, making the economy grind to a halt and leaving many countries unable to govern themselves. Circa 1895 AY. - The Second Apocalypse (1906). This is the final event leading to where our nations are today. Resulting from a second Lacertiliitis-Fireplague pandemic combined with the Fire Wars, in which the Northern Order sets fire to Gondolinius, Gondolinius declares war on Marricopra, and then goes back and declares war on the Order. About a third of the world's population is lost. The world stabilizes ~1920, which eventually leads to where we are today (and why everyone is so salty at each other). a6370465804964a5c02455b7b6cc16caf2f20456 250 245 2023-09-14T22:31:25Z BellatriX 4 e wikitext text/x-wiki They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya. Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. (Disclaimer: this is - as of September 6th, 2023 - basically a history of Eddenarah, but I'm trying to touch base on everything else too) == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate the Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and while Eddenarah had the upper hand at first, the Lobsterites gradually improved. When they unified under the name Children of Nephrops then they routed Eddenarah off of the islands. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish were the Children of Nephrops (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Children of Nephrops (CoN) just to say "HA!" The CoN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The CoN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the CoN's capital. The CoN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The CoN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The CoN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the CoN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the CoN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the CoN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the CoN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the CoN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. South Seseco is also a place of many inventions, the [[Traffic Signal]] (1872, [[Saint Vennes]], [[Deprivique]]), [[Printing Press]] (1450, [[Burges]], [[Grand Duchy of Burges]]) and [[Controlled Access Motorway]] (1913, [[Kvev]], [[Tornobyl]]) were all invented here. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chkyeb]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. The two sides united in 1550 to form the Chkyeb Uniate. Expansion continued eastward. In 1620 a civil war began. ==== The Jenois War of 1620 ==== Jenois was an exclave of people who remained in the Mountain Culture. They called themselves Kruchtevs (a common term used to refer to them in a negative light was "Crookies") and their capital was [[Kauter]]. [[Jenois|Jenois City]], as we know it today was an orsk catholic outpost that spoke Letique. The Kruchtevs were under severe penal laws, below is a basic rundown: * Crookies may not buy land unless the land had been owned by another Crookie. * Crookies may not go to school. * Crookies could not practice religion. * Crookies may only speak Letique. * Crookies may not possess anything that could be used to defend themselves * A maximum of one shop could be opened by a Crookie in any one town. * Crookies could only shop at places owned by Crookies. * Crookies could not ride carriages or own horses. * So on, So forth The first "Crookie Uprising" was actually in 1590 but it failed miserably and half of [[Kauter]] was burned to the ground. In 1620, with help from the [[Tornobyl Arms Association]] they were able to start a revolution in Kauter. The surrounding area was quickly captured and the [[Kruchtev Union]] was declared. They were followed by Deprivique, a region also descriminated against because of their Vizantian Catholic faith. Together the two new nations took over everything east of the Chkyiv Mountains. At home, the Uniate was struggling to keep the peace as a new disease called "Crookpox" (named so because many believed it was a consequence of discriminating against the Kruchtevs) was running rampant throughout the country. The [[Kruchtev Union]], [[Deprivique Republic]] and [[Letoque State]] (Puppet of Deprivique) were given fully recognised independance. ==== Reunited ==== In 1720, Letoque joined Deprivique to create the [[Holy Vizantian Union]]. The [[Kruchtev Union]] united with the [[City State of Tornve]] to create the [[New Kruchtev State]]. In 1722 the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] reunited with the [[Verst Empire]] and in 1723 a war began. ==== War of Letoque (1723 - 1770) ==== On the 3rd September 1723 the 2nd Chkyeb Union declared war on the [[Holy Vizantian Union]] and the [[New Kruchtev State]]. At first, their attack was strong, they took over Tornve and many mountanious regions. But then winter hit. The counteroffensive was described by a verst survivor as "Fast and sharp". They mainly attacked at nigh tand in small numbers. The Verst army was pushed all the way back to Verst. By then Tornobyl joined the war and more reinforcements were coming from allied nations. The war went on like this for 47 years. Then they decided they would better just unite, lest lose anymore lives. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the east (1530): The wast was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Let's start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting each other. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. Deprivique natives originated from somewhere along the [[Vizantus Strait]]. They left their homeland of Dovranland due to a war with some neighboring power. We don't know how long ago this was, but best historians estimate that it was during the Post Flood era. [[File:0e5138d4-7ec9-4f38-9982-3b7a8d3af6d5.jpg|center|thumb|Mural in Petersport depicting the natives of Deprivique leaving their homeland circa 1198]]Deprivique was two kingdoms, the Grand Duchy of Hallem and the Kingdom of Leynes (now Petersport). They united in 748 to form the [[Deprivique Union]]. They were invaded by their neighbour, [[Letoque]] to the north ~912 during the [[Letoque Conquests]]. While they were independant not much notable happened. ===== Jenois ===== Today [[Jenois]] is a disputed canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] (Officially it is part of the canton [[Letoque Jenois]]) It does not have a very unique culture at all, they are basically just people from the Chkyiv Mountains who emmigrated west and met the Letoque people. Something that is notable about them is that they were hit incredibly hard during the Lacertiliitis. Almost three quarters of their population died, half of the remaining emmigrated. The city of Jenois was almost empty by 1900. They repopulated at very impressive rates, and today the region has a population of 1.4 Million. ===== Letoque ===== Letoque is and always was the dominant power in the West. The people of Letoque (Letiquain)'s origins are unknown but we think they came from the same place as the Tornoblites. The capital of Letoque is [[Saint Vennes]]. It is the second most populous canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] but has no city over one million in population. Over it's history Letoque has had a very unique take on land, similar to that of the Russian Empire. This encouraged people to spread out which is why they are significantly less dense than the other cantons. Letoque is home to Jenois, a disputed canton in it's east. Letoque lost land and was eventually destroyed in the [[Letoque Wars]] which lasted from 1610 - 1670 and main belligrents were the Verst Empire and Grand Duchy of Burges (GDB seceded from the Chkyeb Uniate in 1620). ==== Summary ==== South Seseco has had a history of civil wars, disease and violent wars, however it has also had times of prosperity. The "Seseco Golden Age" was the time from 1723 - 1803 both started and ended by war, but during which there was no fighting and instead inventions, discoveries and industrialisation. == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the CoN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The CoN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame, which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the CoN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == For those of you who are too lazy to read: basically the three powers of the Centrius Basin were at war off and on for 73 (and a quarter!) years. This was the last major war of this type, and ended with the CoN regaining control of the islands (for now...). In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the CoN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in late 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the CoN capital, while the CoN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). After half a year of this, all sides realized that this type of warfare was entirely unsustainable, and called a year-and-a-half ceasefire to build up their resources. In 1304 AY, Marricopra launched an assault on Centrius, and held and defended the island for ten years. The CoN was too busy rebuilding its capital for what was at least the third time, and so it was no difficulty for Marricopra to hold back the meager Ashmanschkri army, until 1314, when the CoN rejoined the battle, heading straight for the Marricopran capital. It was the worst destruction the area had seen since the Flood. Marricopra immediately moved backwards to defend their capital, and while the CoN-Marricopra conflict went on in what remained of the Valley of Pryoriya, Ashmanschkra took the islands. Marricopra eventually pushed back the CoN to the far East. The loss from this set of fighting sparked another ceasefire, this one lasting four and a half years. This truce was broken by the CoN, who made their first stab at Ashmanschkra. This time it was successful, and they officially owned the Ashmanschrki army (Sevdrolet refused to join this war. This created a rift in the country, but more on this later) for a time. However, the Army of Ashmanschkra the Inevitable refused to be owned by any other faction, and rebelled against the CoN generals, which put a slight dent in the CoN army, but mostly distracted them from the Marricopra 1326 invasion of Centrius. Marricopra owned the islands for another 5 years, in which the CoN ''and'' Ashmanschkra banded together (ironically) to shove them out, but the Marricopran army was so large they couldn't manage this until 1332, and then Ashmanschkra turned on the CoN, and they fought it out for a few years while Marricopra went back to rebuilding and making poisons from the lizards in the only national reserve, which was overhunted anyway. The longest ceasefire was from 1336-1343, after which Marricopra and the CoN simultaneously pulled support from the Order (both North and South). Ashmanschkra admitted defeat and decided to focus on its quickly worsening relations with the pacifist Sevdrolet. Once the Order got involved, almost everything within view was burned to the ground, Centrius became so inhabitable everyone wondered why they still fought over it, and King Vilassey of Marricopra died in battle, leaving no heirs but his niece, Nichra, who became the first Queen of Marricopra. She had little to no popular support, as she was a woman, but proved to be a brilliant strategist and brought Marricopra to an almost decisive victory at the Fourty-Fifth Battle of Great Nephrops Island, until the southern Order turned on them and Marricopra surrendered and shut its doors to the world. The CoN claimed Centrius, renamed it the Grand Lobster Islands, and the Order went home. In 1374, the Treaty of the Lobsterites was signed (grudgingly) by CoN general Parsley and Queen Nichra, who was at the very least lauded for her dignity in the face of such a crushing defeat. == The Fireplague Epidemic: 1406-1455 == The disease technically began spreading in 1402, but given the slowness of travel at the time, it didn't spread beyond the Great and True (Northern) Order until 1406. The One and Only Everlasting Flame apparently had microbes in them. Harmful ones. And after centuries of humans tending to the fire and its odd microbiome, they latched onto the Arch-Priests, and spread throughout the Mocze Desert's tent cities. It began with the Chief Arch-Priest, Bengellus, burning with a 106 degree fever. The next day, all four other Arch-Priests woke up with the same fever, and Bengellus broke out in hives said to burn "as if the Eternal Fire had itself showered its infernal sparks upon the skin." On the third day, Bengellus began vomiting blood. On the fourth, he died. The four remaining Arch-Priests all exhibited the same symptoms, but not within the same time frame. Hibriz died the day the boils appeared; Porops had a fever for a week and then got the boils and coughed blood (and died) all on the same day; Caprokcil only ever had boils, which lasted a week and a half and then he died with no warning; and Nezrel had a fever for two days, boils for a week and a half, and eventually recovered with only some light scarring. From Nezrel and the other four's caretakers, the disease spread across Mocze without warning and with no cure. Only a quarter of the Northern Order survives, and they start lighting fires in what is by then proto-Gondolinius, which spreads the disease through the southern Order like wildfire, and across the ocean to Marricopra via merchant ships. Marricopra gladly passes this on to the CoN and Ashmansckra via Altar (which has begun to rebel). All the guards on Great Nephrops Island die from the disease, but no one dares go replace them for fear of becoming infected themselves. Centrius goes unclaimed - it is during this time that Sevdrolet goes and unofficially names it the Central Archipelago, and the name sticks. The disease is sent north to Odorslat, but very few die as the cold climate cannot sustain the archaea-bacteria [''and yes, I'm basing the vaguely scientific nature of fireplague off of my 7th grade science class'']. What little of the disease can spread makes its way to Del Sacarmo/KoPWARToD, where it eventually dies out but destabilizes the government enough for a complete overhaul ['''Asisi - this is your chance to step in and write your history]'''. After killing about a fifth of the Marricopran population (including the monarch, but they had a direct heir), more than half of Mocze, and a sixth of the rest of the world, the disease eventually dies down in 1455, as the population had naturally immunized itself, save for a few sparse outbreaks in remote areas. == The War of the Chicken Pie: 1507-1509 == In 1507 AY, what remained of the KoPWARToD (a small scrap of land on Seseco; now Hakha Rakhine) held the First (and only) International Baking Competition, inviting famous bakers worldwide. Among them were Gondolinius's Oragor Mentaylis, who owned the World's Largest Bakery (and nobody dared fight him on that); Sevdrolet's Jimalangang Kobrob; and the KoPWARToD's Happra Ling King, whose alliance was to the Rakhine rebellion brewing up north. Upon his winning the competition, the judges had no idea what country to award the top prize to, and so (as is, of course, usual) war was declared between the KoPWARToD and Hakha Rakhine. Marricopra threw themselves into the war, angry over the loss of Ashmanschkra and Centrius centuries before (and from getting last place in the competition), and led by Queen Ingelle "the Mad." They quickly drew out after the mysterious death of Ingelle and the ascension of King Billy Bob the Sixth, who gave the KoPWARToD several million dollars in reparations and an apology letter. What remained of the Northern Order finally wiped themselves out by throwing themselves and their disease-ridden bodies into the war. This ended with the Treaty of the Kitchen, the formation of Hakha Rakhine and the final dissolution of the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and the subsequent breakout of fireplague across Seseco. == The Second Fireplague Epidemic: 1509-1576 == The Seseco epidemic ended within a few months (see: the first fireplague epidemic and how that worked on Odorslat), but spread back south to Mocze via merchants from Santa Marino and then to Gondolinius, who sent diseased persons to Silencio and Marricopra out of spite (remember - they had their beginnings as religious fanatics). The two almost declared war in return, but then half of their armies fell ill and they decided otherwise. This epidemic went off and on for the next seventy years, with each breakout having epicenters in oddly diverse places, among them being the new Hakha Rakhine, the southernmost 2 blocks of a city in Odorslat, and Croissant Island. This epidemic ended with the Blizzard to End All Blizzards, which lasted exactly 3 days but was enough to kill the archaea-bacteria worldwide. The disease was confined to the We Hate Fire Quarantine Hospital, which was set up in the Mocze desert over the original site of the fire to ensure no one lighted it again. I would say there was peace from here on out, but there isn't, because this was when I remembered that tectonic plates were a thing. == The Split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet: 1599 and a couple years after that == The large, desert-y island of Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet, named after the two people groups that lived there, was situated on a fault line that became more precarious with each year after the Flood, until it finally broke apart during an earthquake and tsunami just south of the Central Archipelago, creating an event known as the Mini-Flood. The country officially became two (it had been threatening to become so for a while), with Ashmanschkra becoming the war peoples of the west, eagerly helping Altar break from Marricopra, though the Altarians themselves didn't care too much as Marricopra provided financial support. Sevdrolet was a nation of pacifists, and remained strictly neutral in all the Central Basin conflicts, though it formed close ties with the CoN. They became known for their art, and hated being invaded. However, seeing as they had no army, this happened over and over despite their declaring independence and creating more and more statues of famous Sevdroletis, which no one cared to take down as they actually looked quite good. The world began to be split over "do you support Ashmanschkra or Sevdrolet?" but as neither nation had the patience to fight the other, it all came to naught and everyone stopped caring, because the islands had moved into such a location to be perfect for beach vacations and millions flooded there. == The Economic Collapse of 1684 == After a little less than a century of relative-but-not-really peace, war in Skelmrelm completely demolished the economy of said country, bringing upon general economic collapse worldwide, as just about everyone depended on Skelmrelm for one reason or another. Does this name sound unfamiliar? Odorslat had, during this time, undergone yet another civil war that led to its renaming. The citizens were relieved that they were at least not called Knitted-Socks-ians. Skelmrelm during this time had moved past Marricopra in terms of GDP (and, in some areas, development) and become the new world epicenter, especially for the north. Gondolinius still considered Marricopra their main provider, however, and Silencio found the Kingdom easier to access. However, whatever petty disputes they had became unimportant in the face of total annihilation of all they'd worked for. However, with the discovery of oil deposits on Sevdrolet, the world economy slowly rebuilt as nations focused southward, and then back North after the Skelmrelm war ended. By 1690, the world economy had generally stabilized. == The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat == This is why the mountains have two main ranges. However, though the epicenter of this was in the mountains, aftershocks were so strong in the capital (on that bay just south of them) that it was completely demolished. This created a political split over who should rule where and how they should rebuild, and effectively ended the Republic of Odorslat as it was known. War broke out over the ruins of Odorslat-Priyoria, ending with the Treaty of What's Left of Priyoriya that split the country in four: Skelmrelm, the Republic of Saldon, the Kingdom of the Remnant, and the Spire Realm. The Kingdom of the Remnant was basically a puppet state of both Saldon and Skelmrelm, but at different times, seeing as it was located on the ruins of Priyoriya and only populated by a few thousand, mostly scholars and archaeologists there to study and preserve what was left of the city. Odorslat once again was no longer a world power, and Silencio began to compete with Marricopra for the title of highest GDP, until the 1794 Marricopran Revolution (see: [[The We're Sick of King Salamandario Revolution]]), after which the country turned inward to sort out its own problems. By 1799, the world was caught in a precarious balance between Skelmrelm and Silencio, as they had no access to Marricopra's resources (except for Sevdrolet, which the Kingdom just couldn't ignore). This resulted in a slight dip in the economy ~1800, but it eventually stabilized as Silencio began to compensate, and finally Marricopra (which had at last rid itself of Altar) reentered the world, about half the size it had been before. == Lacertiliitis: 1837-1850 == The disease began among the thousands of lizard species found at Great Lacertilia National Park. Still no one knows exactly which species spread it to humans, but the story goes like this: shopowner Tylline Tortatolus and his family visited the park in Firbicus 1837, and three weeks after returning, his wife died. Within the next two days, both of his children complained of pain in their mouth, throat, and stomach. Two days later, they died. Tylline lasted long enough to tell his neighbors of the strange occurrence, and then died in the home of musician Vollus Senddarry. The disease spread from the Senddarry household across the small town of Markpinne. The disease made it via caravan to the capital, and spread quickly through the population there. Then-Queen Nichra III soon realized what was happening and enforced a quarantine in the northeast part of the city, but not before boats carrying timber - the country's main resource - had reached Saldon, Gondolinius, and Ortalor, spreading the disease there too. Soon testing was performed in the King Jimmy Central Hospital, and it was found that the disease turned one's saliva to hydrochloric acid. Scientists worldwide set to work creating a vaccine, but the most they could do was prevent death, though not entirely. Certain anomalies were found in the poorer parts of the city, where most of the population had already gone through a bout of Lizard Pox, a non-fatal disease spread by the Greeg lizard. Those who had already had the Pox were naturally immune to the disease - named Lacertiliitis after the park where it originated - and so many were hired on as doctors or even merely recipients of tests. They were paid by the government for their trouble, and often hired and paid ridiculous amounts of money to take over positions unstaffed because of the epidemic. Throughout the rest of the world scientists worked aggressively on creating a vaccine, or, in the case of Ashmanschkra, spreading Lizard Pox to as many citizens as possible. Because of this, most of the population had a natural immunity to Lacertiliitis by 1848. It is considered one of the most effective public health initiatives to date. Saldon and Skelmrelm teamed up to create a semi-effective vaccine, which forced out the virus by the second day, often leaving people on the brink of death but at least alive. They took to spreading numbing shots among their population, which at least prevented the pain caused from the acidic saliva. The vaccine was spread with the Kingdom of the Remnant, which consented to being absorbed into Skelmrelm, but the Spire Realm told themselves they could "handle this." They were all dead in three weeks. Ortalor stole some of the vaccine from Skelmrelm and tried to refine it, but only ended up creating a highly addictive pain medicine, which created a lot of addicts and became very illegal after a year, when the government finally realized the problem. They attempted to use the "Lizard Pox Solution," but as their climate wasn't sustainable to the Greeg, the initiative failed. The disease finally died out in 1849 after most of the population succumbed to it. Gondolinius learned to work with the disease, and the hot climate created its first mutation, spread by melted cells. This resulted in a burning sensation throughout the body, which the Southern Order (now a strong theo-political presence in the area) promoted as a religious experience, not knowing how deadly the disease was. Lacertiliitis and the "Fire of the Heavens" mutation spread even more rapidly throughout Gondolinius and eventually to the abandoned We Hate Fire Hospital, which still had the remains of fireplague all over it. The Imperialist Party of Gondolinius set up an initiative to promote the quarantining of sick individuals. The Southern Order fought back against this relentlessly, creating a split in the general population over whether or not the "Fire of the Heavens" phenomena was a religious experience or a serious medical condition. Those who considered it religious were eventually put in a mental hospital during the Second Apocalypse, and the rest ran away to the desert. That aside, the disease died out in the urban parts of Gondolinius, but thrived in the rural areas around the Fireplague hospital, which created it's own problem, but more on that later... In the CoN, where the disease was spread from Marricopra via Sevdrolet and the oilfield workers there, the disease also mutated, creating something similar to the "Fire of the Heavens" bacteria, but instead causing only the skin to burn and dry out. This version wasn't completely fatal, even though Lizard Pox wasn't prevalent among the CoN. It was thought that the melting of the cells in the unceasing heat lessened the effects, but the disease was eradicated in 1845 due to a spike in heat and a drought, and so was never able to be studied. By 1850, the disease had calmed down worldwide (except for Gondolinius, but that's next). == Lacertiliitis-Fireplague Meltdown: 1895-1901 == The worst pandemic known to mankind. It began in what was renamed the Great Imperial Quarantine Hospital in central Gondolinius (the site has once again been abandoned, and is no longer owned by the country), where the archaea-bacteria known as fireplague had lain dormant on all the abandoned tools, beds, and especially in the indent in the floor that had once been the One and Only Everlasting Flame. As Lacertiliitis patients flooded in, using all the infected equipment and lying in the fireplague-infested beds, the two diseases began to combine, resulting in the first case of what was known, rather creatively, as "Lacertiliitis-fireplague." The first recorded patient was Appap Nipzap, a dockworker, of southern Gondolinius. He first reported a 106-degree fever - the universal signal of fireplague - and the next day his skin turned red, and he was said to claim it "burned worse than the Fire of the Heavens" (a disease he had, at first, survived). Three days after first reporting a fever, the red receded, turning into small boils that bled. After five days he appeared to be recovering, until he reported the signifying mouth-esophagus-stomach pain that came with Lacertiliitis. After a week, he finally coughed up blood and died. The new mutation spread throughout the hospital faster than even the Fire of the Heavens, apparently being more contagious than any previous strain (spread via touch), leaving only two survivors - very pregnant women - who had a strange natural immunity. Lacertiliitis-fireplague spread slowly south and then trickled through the poorer, non-immune southern Gondolinius population. Before the Gondolinian government could figure out what was happening, thousands of carriers, sick, and healthy alike had boarded boats to Gusmoas and Ortalor, one of the world's least populated areas. This mass exodus became the downfall of Imperial Gondolinius, but not quite yet. The sick aboard the Gusmoas-bound boats all died on the way, and only four remained and made it to land. They set fire to the boats they came on and as they incorporated themselves into the Silencian population, millions more died. The several dozens remaining declared themselves Gods and fled into the mountains, only to be discovered nearly a century later by the Orsk Federation. Silencio collapsed, utterly and completely, and the land became inhabitable, overrun by plants, weeds, and rabid animals. On Del Sacarmo, which was still dry and dusty from the sandstorms that plagued them almost a thousand years ago, received the refugees with open arms, only to kill three-quarters of the population. Only those in the North survived, quarantining themselves. The Orsk Federation received the disease via shipments from Santa Marino, and only went into lockdown after half of the population had been killed. Sometime during this the disease makes its way to Marricopra, where it kills King Jimmy the Nineteenth (and last), sending the Kingdom into upheaval. By 1896 the whole world is in lockdown, save for Odorslat, which can't sustain itself very well and goes to war. Saldon and Skelmrelm begin a decades-long war over the general control of Odorslat, which is slowly starving to death. Skelmrelm decides to send all of its scientists to the Central Archipelago, and other countries follow suit. The Shrine of the Great Star Lobster becomes a giant lab, with everyone working according to their own time zone schedule so work is always being done. In 1897 a vaccine is created by a team of Skelmish, Altarian, and Sevdroleti scientists. By 1901, the vaccine is distributed worldwide and rebuilding begins. Until the Second End of the World comes. == The Second Apocalypse: 1906 == Actually I'm going to write this tomorrow so I have a proper amount of inspiration. - trix == For Those Of You Who Wish to Write Your Own Histories == While the Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War is going on, everyone else is distracted with their own problems (except for you, Gondolinius - you got pulled into the war too). If you want to write your own history, here are some worldwide events to keep in mind: - The Fireplague Epidemic (1406-1455 AY), which originated in the Mocze desert (wiped out most of the Northern Order) - The War of the Chicken Pie, which started over a cooking competition held in the KoPWARToD, which was already having its own internal struggles that several countries simply threw themselves into (1507-1509 AY) - The Second Fireplague Epidemic (1509 - ended the WotCP - to 1576 AY; off and on throughout these years) - The split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet, which gave us the two desert islands south of Centrius (1599 AY). I might jump in with this one and make it a war, but for now feel free to keep this in mind as you write your own history - The economic collapse of 1684: War in Skelmrelm, a major world power, led to its dependents' economies going through a Great Depression-ish situation. - The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat. This destroyed the capital and led to the collapse of the Republic, leading to the country being divided up into several groups (including Saldon) - Lacertiliitis (1837): a disease originating in the Great Lacertilia National Park (Marricopra) that spread to the greater population and made it across the sea to Ortalor, Saldon, and whatever state Gondolinius was in at the time. Turns your saliva to hydrochloric acid (ouch); death within 2 days unless you have a specific gene that repels it, or if you've gotten Lizard Pox before. - Lacertiliitis/Fireplague Meltdown: Doctors and scientists from all corners of the world scramble to the Central Archipelago, which is declared a neutral zone for the time, to create a vaccination for the mutated Lacertiliitis-Fireplague disease, which has rendered large portions of Mocze and Gusmoas inhabitable. This disease wipes out almost all of Del Sarcarmo, all of Gusmoas, half of Seseco, and the monarch of Marricopra, leading to a general state of panic. Most of the world goes into COVID-style lockdown, making the economy grind to a halt and leaving many countries unable to govern themselves. Circa 1895 AY. - The Second Apocalypse (1906). This is the final event leading to where our nations are today. Resulting from a second Lacertiliitis-Fireplague pandemic combined with the Fire Wars, in which the Northern Order sets fire to Gondolinius, Gondolinius declares war on Marricopra, and then goes back and declares war on the Order. About a third of the world's population is lost. The world stabilizes ~1920, which eventually leads to where we are today (and why everyone is so salty at each other). 244ec71a8283f7c1628520c7b3c6c3fb9d066936 0 14 208 194 2023-09-11T20:47:12Z Kazi'aikcan 9 /* Categories */ wikitext text/x-wiki [[File:Screensoht 2023-09-10 5.29.58 PM.png|thumb|372x372px|Flag of Norreik.

They made grapes the "holy fruit," so when a thief ate 5 holy grapes from the shared bucket, everyone, not knowing where the thief came from, blamed each other for eating the HGs. Later, 5 of the 20 states decided to make a union that would "last forever". This is where the Hösaamiś Union came from. ====The Hösaamiś Union==== The Hösaaamiś Union was made up of 5 states that had the "holiest of grapes."

Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. (Disclaimer: this is - as of September 6th, 2023 - basically a history of Eddenarah, but I'm trying to touch base on everything else too) == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate the Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and while Eddenarah had the upper hand at first, the Lobsterites gradually improved. When they unified under the name Children of Nephrops then they routed Eddenarah off of the islands. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish were the Children of Nephrops (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Children of Nephrops (CoN) just to say "HA!" The CoN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The CoN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the CoN's capital. The CoN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The CoN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The CoN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the CoN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the CoN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the CoN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the CoN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the CoN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. South Seseco is also a place of many inventions, the [[Traffic Signal]] (1872, [[Saint Vennes]], [[Deprivique]]), [[Printing Press]] (1450, [[Burges]], [[Grand Duchy of Burges]]) and [[Controlled Access Motorway]] (1913, [[Kvev]], [[Tornobyl]]) were all invented here. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chkyeb]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. The two sides united in 1550 to form the Chkyeb Uniate. Expansion continued eastward. In 1620 a civil war began. ==== The Jenois War of 1620 ==== Jenois was an exclave of people who remained in the Mountain Culture. They called themselves Kruchtevs (a common term used to refer to them in a negative light was "Crookies") and their capital was [[Kauter]]. [[Jenois|Jenois City]], as we know it today was an orsk catholic outpost that spoke Letique. The Kruchtevs were under severe penal laws, below is a basic rundown: * Crookies may not buy land unless the land had been owned by another Crookie. * Crookies may not go to school. * Crookies could not practice religion. * Crookies may only speak Letique. * Crookies may not possess anything that could be used to defend themselves * A maximum of one shop could be opened by a Crookie in any one town. * Crookies could only shop at places owned by Crookies. * Crookies could not ride carriages or own horses. * So on, So forth The first "Crookie Uprising" was actually in 1590 but it failed miserably and half of [[Kauter]] was burned to the ground. In 1620, with help from the [[Tornobyl Arms Association]] they were able to start a revolution in Kauter. The surrounding area was quickly captured and the [[Kruchtev Union]] was declared. They were followed by Deprivique, a region also descriminated against because of their Vizantian Catholic faith. Together the two new nations took over everything east of the Chkyiv Mountains. At home, the Uniate was struggling to keep the peace as a new disease called "Crookpox" (named so because many believed it was a consequence of discriminating against the Kruchtevs) was running rampant throughout the country. The [[Kruchtev Union]], [[Deprivique Republic]] and [[Letoque State]] (Puppet of Deprivique) were given fully recognised independance. ==== Reunited ==== In 1720, Letoque joined Deprivique to create the [[Holy Vizantian Union]]. The [[Kruchtev Union]] united with the [[City State of Tornve]] to create the [[New Kruchtev State]]. In 1722 the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] reunited with the [[Verst Empire]] and in 1723 a war began. ==== War of Letoque (1723 - 1770) ==== On the 3rd September 1723 the 2nd Chkyeb Union declared war on the [[Holy Vizantian Union]] and the [[New Kruchtev State]]. At first, their attack was strong, they took over Tornve and many mountanious regions. But then winter hit. The counteroffensive was described by a verst survivor as "Fast and sharp". They mainly attacked at nigh tand in small numbers. The Verst army was pushed all the way back to Verst. By then Tornobyl joined the war and more reinforcements were coming from allied nations. The war went on like this for 47 years. Then they decided they would better just unite, lest lose anymore lives. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the east (1530): The wast was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Let's start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting each other. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. Deprivique natives originated from somewhere along the [[Vizantus Strait]]. They left their homeland of Dovranland due to a war with some neighboring power. We don't know how long ago this was, but best historians estimate that it was during the Post Flood era. [[File:0e5138d4-7ec9-4f38-9982-3b7a8d3af6d5.jpg|center|thumb|Mural in Petersport depicting the natives of Deprivique leaving their homeland circa 1198]]Deprivique was two kingdoms, the Grand Duchy of Hallem and the Kingdom of Leynes (now Petersport). They united in 748 to form the [[Deprivique Union]]. They were invaded by their neighbour, [[Letoque]] to the north ~912 during the [[Letoque Conquests]]. While they were independant not much notable happened. ===== Jenois ===== Today [[Jenois]] is a disputed canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] (Officially it is part of the canton [[Letoque Jenois]]) It does not have a very unique culture at all, they are basically just people from the Chkyiv Mountains who emmigrated west and met the Letoque people. Something that is notable about them is that they were hit incredibly hard during the Lacertiliitis. Almost three quarters of their population died, half of the remaining emmigrated. The city of Jenois was almost empty by 1900. They repopulated at very impressive rates, and today the region has a population of 1.4 Million. ===== Letoque ===== Letoque is and always was the dominant power in the West. The people of Letoque (Letiquain)'s origins are unknown but we think they came from the same place as the Tornoblites. The capital of Letoque is [[Saint Vennes]]. It is the second most populous canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] but has no city over one million in population. Over it's history Letoque has had a very unique take on land, similar to that of the Russian Empire. This encouraged people to spread out which is why they are significantly less dense than the other cantons. Letoque is home to Jenois, a disputed canton in it's east. Letoque lost land and was eventually destroyed in the [[Letoque Wars]] which lasted from 1610 - 1670 and main belligrents were the Verst Empire and Grand Duchy of Burges (GDB seceded from the Chkyeb Uniate in 1620). ==== Summary ==== South Seseco has had a history of civil wars, disease and violent wars, however it has also had times of prosperity. The "Seseco Golden Age" was the time from 1723 - 1803 both started and ended by war, but during which there was no fighting and instead inventions, discoveries and industrialisation. == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the CoN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The CoN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame, which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the CoN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == For those of you who are too lazy to read: basically the three powers of the Centrius Basin were at war off and on for 73 (and a quarter!) years. This was the last major war of this type, and ended with the CoN regaining control of the islands (for now...). In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the CoN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in late 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the CoN capital, while the CoN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). After half a year of this, all sides realized that this type of warfare was entirely unsustainable, and called a year-and-a-half ceasefire to build up their resources. In 1304 AY, Marricopra launched an assault on Centrius, and held and defended the island for ten years. The CoN was too busy rebuilding its capital for what was at least the third time, and so it was no difficulty for Marricopra to hold back the meager Ashmanschkri army, until 1314, when the CoN rejoined the battle, heading straight for the Marricopran capital. It was the worst destruction the area had seen since the Flood. Marricopra immediately moved backwards to defend their capital, and while the CoN-Marricopra conflict went on in what remained of the Valley of Pryoriya, Ashmanschkra took the islands. Marricopra eventually pushed back the CoN to the far East. The loss from this set of fighting sparked another ceasefire, this one lasting four and a half years. This truce was broken by the CoN, who made their first stab at Ashmanschkra. This time it was successful, and they officially owned the Ashmanschrki army (Sevdrolet refused to join this war. This created a rift in the country, but more on this later) for a time. However, the Army of Ashmanschkra the Inevitable refused to be owned by any other faction, and rebelled against the CoN generals, which put a slight dent in the CoN army, but mostly distracted them from the Marricopra 1326 invasion of Centrius. Marricopra owned the islands for another 5 years, in which the CoN ''and'' Ashmanschkra banded together (ironically) to shove them out, but the Marricopran army was so large they couldn't manage this until 1332, and then Ashmanschkra turned on the CoN, and they fought it out for a few years while Marricopra went back to rebuilding and making poisons from the lizards in the only national reserve, which was overhunted anyway. The longest ceasefire was from 1336-1343, after which Marricopra and the CoN simultaneously pulled support from the Order (both North and South). Ashmanschkra admitted defeat and decided to focus on its quickly worsening relations with the pacifist Sevdrolet. Once the Order got involved, almost everything within view was burned to the ground, Centrius became so inhabitable everyone wondered why they still fought over it, and King Vilassey of Marricopra died in battle, leaving no heirs but his niece, Nichra, who became the first Queen of Marricopra. She had little to no popular support, as she was a woman, but proved to be a brilliant strategist and brought Marricopra to an almost decisive victory at the Fourty-Fifth Battle of Great Nephrops Island, until the southern Order turned on them and Marricopra surrendered and shut its doors to the world. The CoN claimed Centrius, renamed it the Grand Lobster Islands, and the Order went home. In 1374, the Treaty of the Lobsterites was signed (grudgingly) by CoN general Parsley and Queen Nichra, who was at the very least lauded for her dignity in the face of such a crushing defeat. == The Fireplague Epidemic: 1406-1455 == The disease technically began spreading in 1402, but given the slowness of travel at the time, it didn't spread beyond the Great and True (Northern) Order until 1406. The One and Only Everlasting Flame apparently had microbes in them. Harmful ones. And after centuries of humans tending to the fire and its odd microbiome, they latched onto the Arch-Priests, and spread throughout the Mocze Desert's tent cities. It began with the Chief Arch-Priest, Bengellus, burning with a 106 degree fever. The next day, all four other Arch-Priests woke up with the same fever, and Bengellus broke out in hives said to burn "as if the Eternal Fire had itself showered its infernal sparks upon the skin." On the third day, Bengellus began vomiting blood. On the fourth, he died. The four remaining Arch-Priests all exhibited the same symptoms, but not within the same time frame. Hibriz died the day the boils appeared; Porops had a fever for a week and then got the boils and coughed blood (and died) all on the same day; Caprokcil only ever had boils, which lasted a week and a half and then he died with no warning; and Nezrel had a fever for two days, boils for a week and a half, and eventually recovered with only some light scarring. From Nezrel and the other four's caretakers, the disease spread across Mocze without warning and with no cure. Only a quarter of the Northern Order survives, and they start lighting fires in what is by then proto-Gondolinius, which spreads the disease through the southern Order like wildfire, and across the ocean to Marricopra via merchant ships. Marricopra gladly passes this on to the CoN and Ashmansckra via Altar (which has begun to rebel). All the guards on Great Nephrops Island die from the disease, but no one dares go replace them for fear of becoming infected themselves. Centrius goes unclaimed - it is during this time that Sevdrolet goes and unofficially names it the Central Archipelago, and the name sticks. The disease is sent north to Odorslat, but very few die as the cold climate cannot sustain the archaea-bacteria [''and yes, I'm basing the vaguely scientific nature of fireplague off of my 7th grade science class'']. What little of the disease can spread makes its way to Del Sacarmo/KoPWARToD, where it eventually dies out but destabilizes the government enough for a complete overhaul ['''Asisi - this is your chance to step in and write your history]'''. After killing about a fifth of the Marricopran population (including the monarch, but they had a direct heir), more than half of Mocze, and a sixth of the rest of the world, the disease eventually dies down in 1455, as the population had naturally immunized itself, save for a few sparse outbreaks in remote areas. == The War of the Chicken Pie: 1507-1509 == In 1507 AY, what remained of the KoPWARToD (a small scrap of land on Seseco; now Hakha Rakhine) held the First (and only) International Baking Competition, inviting famous bakers worldwide. Among them were Gondolinius's Oragor Mentaylis, who owned the World's Largest Bakery (and nobody dared fight him on that); Sevdrolet's Jimalangang Kobrob; and the KoPWARToD's Happra Ling King, whose alliance was to the Rakhine rebellion brewing up north. Upon his winning the competition, the judges had no idea what country to award the top prize to, and so (as is, of course, usual) war was declared between the KoPWARToD and Hakha Rakhine. Marricopra threw themselves into the war, angry over the loss of Ashmanschkra and Centrius centuries before (and from getting last place in the competition), and led by Queen Ingelle "the Mad." They quickly drew out after the mysterious death of Ingelle and the ascension of King Billy Bob the Sixth, who gave the KoPWARToD several million dollars in reparations and an apology letter. What remained of the Northern Order finally wiped themselves out by throwing themselves and their disease-ridden bodies into the war. This ended with the Treaty of the Kitchen, the formation of Hakha Rakhine and the final dissolution of the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and the subsequent breakout of fireplague across Seseco. == The Second Fireplague Epidemic: 1509-1576 == The Seseco epidemic ended within a few months (see: the first fireplague epidemic and how that worked on Odorslat), but spread back south to Mocze via merchants from Santa Marino and then to Gondolinius, who sent diseased persons to Silencio and Marricopra out of spite (remember - they had their beginnings as religious fanatics). The two almost declared war in return, but then half of their armies fell ill and they decided otherwise. This epidemic went off and on for the next seventy years, with each breakout having epicenters in oddly diverse places, among them being the new Hakha Rakhine, the southernmost 2 blocks of a city in Odorslat, and Croissant Island. This epidemic ended with the Blizzard to End All Blizzards, which lasted exactly 3 days but was enough to kill the archaea-bacteria worldwide. The disease was confined to the We Hate Fire Quarantine Hospital, which was set up in the Mocze desert over the original site of the fire to ensure no one lighted it again. I would say there was peace from here on out, but there isn't, because this was when I remembered that tectonic plates were a thing. == The Split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet: 1599 and a couple years after that == The large, desert-y island of Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet, named after the two people groups that lived there, was situated on a fault line that became more precarious with each year after the Flood, until it finally broke apart during an earthquake and tsunami just south of the Central Archipelago, creating an event known as the Mini-Flood. The country officially became two (it had been threatening to become so for a while), with Ashmanschkra becoming the war peoples of the west, eagerly helping Altar break from Marricopra, though the Altarians themselves didn't care too much as Marricopra provided financial support. Sevdrolet was a nation of pacifists, and remained strictly neutral in all the Central Basin conflicts, though it formed close ties with the CoN. They became known for their art, and hated being invaded. However, seeing as they had no army, this happened over and over despite their declaring independence and creating more and more statues of famous Sevdroletis, which no one cared to take down as they actually looked quite good. The world began to be split over "do you support Ashmanschkra or Sevdrolet?" but as neither nation had the patience to fight the other, it all came to naught and everyone stopped caring, because the islands had moved into such a location to be perfect for beach vacations and millions flooded there. == The Economic Collapse of 1684 == After a little less than a century of relative-but-not-really peace, war in Skelmrelm completely demolished the economy of said country, bringing upon general economic collapse worldwide, as just about everyone depended on Skelmrelm for one reason or another. Does this name sound unfamiliar? Odorslat had, during this time, undergone yet another civil war that led to its renaming. The citizens were relieved that they were at least not called Knitted-Socks-ians. Skelmrelm during this time had moved past Marricopra in terms of GDP (and, in some areas, development) and become the new world epicenter, especially for the north. Gondolinius still considered Marricopra their main provider, however, and Silencio found the Kingdom easier to access. However, whatever petty disputes they had became unimportant in the face of total annihilation of all they'd worked for. However, with the discovery of oil deposits on Sevdrolet, the world economy slowly rebuilt as nations focused southward, and then back North after the Skelmrelm war ended. By 1690, the world economy had generally stabilized. == The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat == This is why the mountains have two main ranges. However, though the epicenter of this was in the mountains, aftershocks were so strong in the capital (on that bay just south of them) that it was completely demolished. This created a political split over who should rule where and how they should rebuild, and effectively ended the Republic of Odorslat as it was known. War broke out over the ruins of Odorslat-Priyoria, ending with the Treaty of What's Left of Priyoriya that split the country in four: Skelmrelm, the Republic of Saldon, the Kingdom of the Remnant, and the Spire Realm. The Kingdom of the Remnant was basically a puppet state of both Saldon and Skelmrelm, but at different times, seeing as it was located on the ruins of Priyoriya and only populated by a few thousand, mostly scholars and archaeologists there to study and preserve what was left of the city. Odorslat once again was no longer a world power, and Silencio began to compete with Marricopra for the title of highest GDP, until the 1794 Marricopran Revolution (see: [[The We're Sick of King Salamandario Revolution]]), after which the country turned inward to sort out its own problems. By 1799, the world was caught in a precarious balance between Skelmrelm and Silencio, as they had no access to Marricopra's resources (except for Sevdrolet, which the Kingdom just couldn't ignore). This resulted in a slight dip in the economy ~1800, but it eventually stabilized as Silencio began to compensate, and finally Marricopra (which had at last rid itself of Altar) reentered the world, about half the size it had been before. == Lacertiliitis: 1837-1850 == The disease began among the thousands of lizard species found at Great Lacertilia National Park. Still no one knows exactly which species spread it to humans, but the story goes like this: shopowner Tylline Tortatolus and his family visited the park in Firbicus 1837, and three weeks after returning, his wife died. Within the next two days, both of his children complained of pain in their mouth, throat, and stomach. Two days later, they died. Tylline lasted long enough to tell his neighbors of the strange occurrence, and then died in the home of musician Vollus Senddarry. The disease spread from the Senddarry household across the small town of Markpinne. The disease made it via caravan to the capital, and spread quickly through the population there. Then-Queen Nichra III soon realized what was happening and enforced a quarantine in the northeast part of the city, but not before boats carrying timber - the country's main resource - had reached Saldon, Gondolinius, and Ortalor, spreading the disease there too. Soon testing was performed in the King Jimmy Central Hospital, and it was found that the disease turned one's saliva to hydrochloric acid. Scientists worldwide set to work creating a vaccine, but the most they could do was prevent death, though not entirely. Certain anomalies were found in the poorer parts of the city, where most of the population had already gone through a bout of Lizard Pox, a non-fatal disease spread by the Greeg lizard. Those who had already had the Pox were naturally immune to the disease - named Lacertiliitis after the park where it originated - and so many were hired on as doctors or even merely recipients of tests. They were paid by the government for their trouble, and often hired and paid ridiculous amounts of money to take over positions unstaffed because of the epidemic. Throughout the rest of the world scientists worked aggressively on creating a vaccine, or, in the case of Ashmanschkra, spreading Lizard Pox to as many citizens as possible. Because of this, most of the population had a natural immunity to Lacertiliitis by 1848. It is considered one of the most effective public health initiatives to date. Saldon and Skelmrelm teamed up to create a semi-effective vaccine, which forced out the virus by the second day, often leaving people on the brink of death but at least alive. They took to spreading numbing shots among their population, which at least prevented the pain caused from the acidic saliva. The vaccine was spread with the Kingdom of the Remnant, which consented to being absorbed into Skelmrelm, but the Spire Realm told themselves they could "handle this." They were all dead in three weeks. Ortalor stole some of the vaccine from Skelmrelm and tried to refine it, but only ended up creating a highly addictive pain medicine, which created a lot of addicts and became very illegal after a year, when the government finally realized the problem. They attempted to use the "Lizard Pox Solution," but as their climate wasn't sustainable to the Greeg, the initiative failed. The disease finally died out in 1849 after most of the population succumbed to it. Gondolinius learned to work with the disease, and the hot climate created its first mutation, spread by melted cells. This resulted in a burning sensation throughout the body, which the Southern Order (now a strong theo-political presence in the area) promoted as a religious experience, not knowing how deadly the disease was. Lacertiliitis and the "Fire of the Heavens" mutation spread even more rapidly throughout Gondolinius and eventually to the abandoned We Hate Fire Hospital, which still had the remains of fireplague all over it. The Imperialist Party of Gondolinius set up an initiative to promote the quarantining of sick individuals. The Southern Order fought back against this relentlessly, creating a split in the general population over whether or not the "Fire of the Heavens" phenomena was a religious experience or a serious medical condition. Those who considered it religious were eventually put in a mental hospital during the Second Apocalypse, and the rest ran away to the desert. That aside, the disease died out in the urban parts of Gondolinius, but thrived in the rural areas around the Fireplague hospital, which created it's own problem, but more on that later... In the CoN, where the disease was spread from Marricopra via Sevdrolet and the oilfield workers there, the disease also mutated, creating something similar to the "Fire of the Heavens" bacteria, but instead causing only the skin to burn and dry out. This version wasn't completely fatal, even though Lizard Pox wasn't prevalent among the CoN. It was thought that the melting of the cells in the unceasing heat lessened the effects, but the disease was eradicated in 1845 due to a spike in heat and a drought, and so was never able to be studied. By 1850, the disease had calmed down worldwide (except for Gondolinius, but that's next). == Lacertiliitis-Fireplague Meltdown: 1895-1901 == The worst pandemic known to mankind. It began in what was renamed the Great Imperial Quarantine Hospital in central Gondolinius (the site has once again been abandoned, and is no longer owned by the country), where the archaea-bacteria known as fireplague had lain dormant on all the abandoned tools, beds, and especially in the indent in the floor that had once been the One and Only Everlasting Flame. As Lacertiliitis patients flooded in, using all the infected equipment and lying in the fireplague-infested beds, the two diseases began to combine, resulting in the first case of what was known, rather creatively, as "Lacertiliitis-fireplague." The first recorded patient was Appap Nipzap, a dockworker, of southern Gondolinius. He first reported a 106-degree fever - the universal signal of fireplague - and the next day his skin turned red, and he was said to claim it "burned worse than the Fire of the Heavens" (a disease he had, at first, survived). Three days after first reporting a fever, the red receded, turning into small boils that bled. After five days he appeared to be recovering, until he reported the signifying mouth-esophagus-stomach pain that came with Lacertiliitis. After a week, he finally coughed up blood and died. The new mutation spread throughout the hospital faster than even the Fire of the Heavens, apparently being more contagious than any previous strain (spread via touch), leaving only two survivors - very pregnant women - who had a strange natural immunity. Lacertiliitis-fireplague spread slowly south and then trickled through the poorer, non-immune southern Gondolinius population. Before the Gondolinian government could figure out what was happening, thousands of carriers, sick, and healthy alike had boarded boats to Gusmoas and Ortalor, one of the world's least populated areas. This mass exodus became the downfall of Imperial Gondolinius, but not quite yet. The sick aboard the Gusmoas-bound boats all died on the way, and only four remained and made it to land. They set fire to the boats they came on and as they incorporated themselves into the Silencian population, millions more died. The several dozens remaining declared themselves Gods and fled into the mountains, only to be discovered nearly a century later by the Orsk Federation. Silencio collapsed, utterly and completely, and the land became inhabitable, overrun by plants, weeds, and rabid animals. On Del Sacarmo, which was still dry and dusty from the sandstorms that plagued them almost a thousand years ago, received the refugees with open arms, only to kill three-quarters of the population. Only those in the North survived, quarantining themselves. The Orsk Federation received the disease via shipments from Santa Marino, and only went into lockdown after half of the population had been killed. Sometime during this the disease makes its way to Marricopra, where it kills King Jimmy the Nineteenth (and last), sending the Kingdom into upheaval. By 1896 the whole world is in lockdown, save for Odorslat, which can't sustain itself very well and goes to war. Saldon and Skelmrelm begin a decades-long war over the general control of Odorslat, which is slowly starving to death. Skelmrelm decides to send all of its scientists to the Central Archipelago, and other countries follow suit. The Shrine of the Great Star Lobster becomes a giant lab, with everyone working according to their own time zone schedule so work is always being done. In 1897 a vaccine is created by a team of Skelmish, Altarian, and Sevdroleti scientists. By 1901, the vaccine is distributed worldwide and rebuilding begins. Until the Second End of the World comes. == The Second Apocalypse: 1906 == For a land inhabited by a religious group whose only claim to fame was that they started fires incessantly, there was only one Fire War. There were 12 - exactly twelve, and three were children - members of the Northern Order left. They lived a little North of the We Hate Fire Hospital, in tents, and obsessively lit up random patches of desert. the end! (just kidding) == For Those Of You Who Wish to Write Your Own Histories == While the Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War is going on, everyone else is distracted with their own problems (except for you, Gondolinius - you got pulled into the war too). If you want to write your own history, here are some worldwide events to keep in mind: - The Fireplague Epidemic (1406-1455 AY), which originated in the Mocze desert (wiped out most of the Northern Order) - The War of the Chicken Pie, which started over a cooking competition held in the KoPWARToD, which was already having its own internal struggles that several countries simply threw themselves into (1507-1509 AY) - The Second Fireplague Epidemic (1509 - ended the WotCP - to 1576 AY; off and on throughout these years) - The split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet, which gave us the two desert islands south of Centrius (1599 AY). I might jump in with this one and make it a war, but for now feel free to keep this in mind as you write your own history - The economic collapse of 1684: War in Skelmrelm, a major world power, led to its dependents' economies going through a Great Depression-ish situation. - The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat. This destroyed the capital and led to the collapse of the Republic, leading to the country being divided up into several groups (including Saldon) - Lacertiliitis (1837): a disease originating in the Great Lacertilia National Park (Marricopra) that spread to the greater population and made it across the sea to Ortalor, Saldon, and whatever state Gondolinius was in at the time. Turns your saliva to hydrochloric acid (ouch); death within 2 days unless you have a specific gene that repels it, or if you've gotten Lizard Pox before. - Lacertiliitis/Fireplague Meltdown: Doctors and scientists from all corners of the world scramble to the Central Archipelago, which is declared a neutral zone for the time, to create a vaccination for the mutated Lacertiliitis-Fireplague disease, which has rendered large portions of Mocze and Gusmoas inhabitable. This disease wipes out almost all of Del Sarcarmo, all of Gusmoas, half of Seseco, and the monarch of Marricopra, leading to a general state of panic. Most of the world goes into COVID-style lockdown, making the economy grind to a halt and leaving many countries unable to govern themselves. Circa 1895 AY. - The Second Apocalypse (1906). This is the final event leading to where our nations are today. Resulting from a second Lacertiliitis-Fireplague pandemic combined with the Fire Wars, in which the Northern Order sets fire to Gondolinius, Gondolinius declares war on Marricopra, and then goes back and declares war on the Order. About a third of the world's population is lost. The world stabilizes ~1920, which eventually leads to where we are today (and why everyone is so salty at each other). 8de32799c19fcea48a978869caaa44c695ebcec3 254 253 2023-09-16T20:29:31Z BellatriX 4 I AM DONE wikitext text/x-wiki They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya. Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate the Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and while Eddenarah had the upper hand at first, the Lobsterites gradually improved. When they unified under the name Children of Nephrops then they routed Eddenarah off of the islands. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish were the Children of Nephrops (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Children of Nephrops (CoN) just to say "HA!" The CoN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The CoN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the CoN's capital. The CoN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The CoN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The CoN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the CoN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the CoN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the CoN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the CoN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the CoN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. South Seseco is also a place of many inventions, the [[Traffic Signal]] (1872, [[Saint Vennes]], [[Deprivique]]), [[Printing Press]] (1450, [[Burges]], [[Grand Duchy of Burges]]) and [[Controlled Access Motorway]] (1913, [[Kvev]], [[Tornobyl]]) were all invented here. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chkyeb]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. The two sides united in 1550 to form the Chkyeb Uniate. Expansion continued eastward. In 1620 a civil war began. ==== The Jenois War of 1620 ==== Jenois was an exclave of people who remained in the Mountain Culture. They called themselves Kruchtevs (a common term used to refer to them in a negative light was "Crookies") and their capital was [[Kauter]]. [[Jenois|Jenois City]], as we know it today was an orsk catholic outpost that spoke Letique. The Kruchtevs were under severe penal laws, below is a basic rundown: * Crookies may not buy land unless the land had been owned by another Crookie. * Crookies may not go to school. * Crookies could not practice religion. * Crookies may only speak Letique. * Crookies may not possess anything that could be used to defend themselves * A maximum of one shop could be opened by a Crookie in any one town. * Crookies could only shop at places owned by Crookies. * Crookies could not ride carriages or own horses. * So on, So forth The first "Crookie Uprising" was actually in 1590 but it failed miserably and half of [[Kauter]] was burned to the ground. In 1620, with help from the [[Tornobyl Arms Association]] they were able to start a revolution in Kauter. The surrounding area was quickly captured and the [[Kruchtev Union]] was declared. They were followed by Deprivique, a region also descriminated against because of their Vizantian Catholic faith. Together the two new nations took over everything east of the Chkyiv Mountains. At home, the Uniate was struggling to keep the peace as a new disease called "Crookpox" (named so because many believed it was a consequence of discriminating against the Kruchtevs) was running rampant throughout the country. The [[Kruchtev Union]], [[Deprivique Republic]] and [[Letoque State]] (Puppet of Deprivique) were given fully recognised independance. ==== Reunited ==== In 1720, Letoque joined Deprivique to create the [[Holy Vizantian Union]]. The [[Kruchtev Union]] united with the [[City State of Tornve]] to create the [[New Kruchtev State]]. In 1722 the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] reunited with the [[Verst Empire]] and in 1723 a war began. ==== War of Letoque (1723 - 1770) ==== On the 3rd September 1723 the 2nd Chkyeb Union declared war on the [[Holy Vizantian Union]] and the [[New Kruchtev State]]. At first, their attack was strong, they took over Tornve and many mountanious regions. But then winter hit. The counteroffensive was described by a verst survivor as "Fast and sharp". They mainly attacked at nigh tand in small numbers. The Verst army was pushed all the way back to Verst. By then Tornobyl joined the war and more reinforcements were coming from allied nations. The war went on like this for 47 years. Then they decided they would better just unite, lest lose anymore lives. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the east (1530): The wast was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Let's start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting each other. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. Deprivique natives originated from somewhere along the [[Vizantus Strait]]. They left their homeland of Dovranland due to a war with some neighboring power. We don't know how long ago this was, but best historians estimate that it was during the Post Flood era. [[File:0e5138d4-7ec9-4f38-9982-3b7a8d3af6d5.jpg|center|thumb|Mural in Petersport depicting the natives of Deprivique leaving their homeland circa 1198]]Deprivique was two kingdoms, the Grand Duchy of Hallem and the Kingdom of Leynes (now Petersport). They united in 748 to form the [[Deprivique Union]]. They were invaded by their neighbour, [[Letoque]] to the north ~912 during the [[Letoque Conquests]]. While they were independant not much notable happened. ===== Jenois ===== Today [[Jenois]] is a disputed canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] (Officially it is part of the canton [[Letoque Jenois]]) It does not have a very unique culture at all, they are basically just people from the Chkyiv Mountains who emmigrated west and met the Letoque people. Something that is notable about them is that they were hit incredibly hard during the Lacertiliitis. Almost three quarters of their population died, half of the remaining emmigrated. The city of Jenois was almost empty by 1900. They repopulated at very impressive rates, and today the region has a population of 1.4 Million. ===== Letoque ===== Letoque is and always was the dominant power in the West. The people of Letoque (Letiquain)'s origins are unknown but we think they came from the same place as the Tornoblites. The capital of Letoque is [[Saint Vennes]]. It is the second most populous canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] but has no city over one million in population. Over it's history Letoque has had a very unique take on land, similar to that of the Russian Empire. This encouraged people to spread out which is why they are significantly less dense than the other cantons. Letoque is home to Jenois, a disputed canton in it's east. Letoque lost land and was eventually destroyed in the [[Letoque Wars]] which lasted from 1610 - 1670 and main belligrents were the Verst Empire and Grand Duchy of Burges (GDB seceded from the Chkyeb Uniate in 1620). ==== Summary ==== South Seseco has had a history of civil wars, disease and violent wars, however it has also had times of prosperity. The "Seseco Golden Age" was the time from 1723 - 1803 both started and ended by war, but during which there was no fighting and instead inventions, discoveries and industrialisation. == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the CoN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The CoN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame, which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the CoN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == For those of you who are too lazy to read: basically the three powers of the Centrius Basin were at war off and on for 73 (and a quarter!) years. This was the last major war of this type, and ended with the CoN regaining control of the islands (for now...). In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the CoN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in late 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the CoN capital, while the CoN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). After half a year of this, all sides realized that this type of warfare was entirely unsustainable, and called a year-and-a-half ceasefire to build up their resources. In 1304 AY, Marricopra launched an assault on Centrius, and held and defended the island for ten years. The CoN was too busy rebuilding its capital for what was at least the third time, and so it was no difficulty for Marricopra to hold back the meager Ashmanschkri army, until 1314, when the CoN rejoined the battle, heading straight for the Marricopran capital. It was the worst destruction the area had seen since the Flood. Marricopra immediately moved backwards to defend their capital, and while the CoN-Marricopra conflict went on in what remained of the Valley of Pryoriya, Ashmanschkra took the islands. Marricopra eventually pushed back the CoN to the far East. The loss from this set of fighting sparked another ceasefire, this one lasting four and a half years. This truce was broken by the CoN, who made their first stab at Ashmanschkra. This time it was successful, and they officially owned the Ashmanschrki army (Sevdrolet refused to join this war. This created a rift in the country, but more on this later) for a time. However, the Army of Ashmanschkra the Inevitable refused to be owned by any other faction, and rebelled against the CoN generals, which put a slight dent in the CoN army, but mostly distracted them from the Marricopra 1326 invasion of Centrius. Marricopra owned the islands for another 5 years, in which the CoN ''and'' Ashmanschkra banded together (ironically) to shove them out, but the Marricopran army was so large they couldn't manage this until 1332, and then Ashmanschkra turned on the CoN, and they fought it out for a few years while Marricopra went back to rebuilding and making poisons from the lizards in the only national reserve, which was overhunted anyway. The longest ceasefire was from 1336-1343, after which Marricopra and the CoN simultaneously pulled support from the Order (both North and South). Ashmanschkra admitted defeat and decided to focus on its quickly worsening relations with the pacifist Sevdrolet. Once the Order got involved, almost everything within view was burned to the ground, Centrius became so inhabitable everyone wondered why they still fought over it, and King Vilassey of Marricopra died in battle, leaving no heirs but his niece, Nichra, who became the first Queen of Marricopra. She had little to no popular support, as she was a woman, but proved to be a brilliant strategist and brought Marricopra to an almost decisive victory at the Fourty-Fifth Battle of Great Nephrops Island, until the southern Order turned on them and Marricopra surrendered and shut its doors to the world. The CoN claimed Centrius, renamed it the Grand Lobster Islands, and the Order went home. In 1374, the Treaty of the Lobsterites was signed (grudgingly) by CoN general Parsley and Queen Nichra, who was at the very least lauded for her dignity in the face of such a crushing defeat. == The Fireplague Epidemic: 1406-1455 == The disease technically began spreading in 1402, but given the slowness of travel at the time, it didn't spread beyond the Great and True (Northern) Order until 1406. The One and Only Everlasting Flame apparently had microbes in them. Harmful ones. And after centuries of humans tending to the fire and its odd microbiome, they latched onto the Arch-Priests, and spread throughout the Mocze Desert's tent cities. It began with the Chief Arch-Priest, Bengellus, burning with a 106 degree fever. The next day, all four other Arch-Priests woke up with the same fever, and Bengellus broke out in hives said to burn "as if the Eternal Fire had itself showered its infernal sparks upon the skin." On the third day, Bengellus began vomiting blood. On the fourth, he died. The four remaining Arch-Priests all exhibited the same symptoms, but not within the same time frame. Hibriz died the day the boils appeared; Porops had a fever for a week and then got the boils and coughed blood (and died) all on the same day; Caprokcil only ever had boils, which lasted a week and a half and then he died with no warning; and Nezrel had a fever for two days, boils for a week and a half, and eventually recovered with only some light scarring. From Nezrel and the other four's caretakers, the disease spread across Mocze without warning and with no cure. Only a quarter of the Northern Order survives, and they start lighting fires in what is by then proto-Gondolinius, which spreads the disease through the southern Order like wildfire, and across the ocean to Marricopra via merchant ships. Marricopra gladly passes this on to the CoN and Ashmansckra via Altar (which has begun to rebel). All the guards on Great Nephrops Island die from the disease, but no one dares go replace them for fear of becoming infected themselves. Centrius goes unclaimed - it is during this time that Sevdrolet goes and unofficially names it the Central Archipelago, and the name sticks. The disease is sent north to Odorslat, but very few die as the cold climate cannot sustain the archaea-bacteria [''and yes, I'm basing the vaguely scientific nature of fireplague off of my 7th grade science class'']. What little of the disease can spread makes its way to Del Sacarmo/KoPWARToD, where it eventually dies out but destabilizes the government enough for a complete overhaul ['''Asisi - this is your chance to step in and write your history]'''. After killing about a fifth of the Marricopran population (including the monarch, but they had a direct heir), more than half of Mocze, and a sixth of the rest of the world, the disease eventually dies down in 1455, as the population had naturally immunized itself, save for a few sparse outbreaks in remote areas. == The War of the Chicken Pie: 1507-1509 == In 1507 AY, what remained of the KoPWARToD (a small scrap of land on Seseco; now Hakha Rakhine) held the First (and only) International Baking Competition, inviting famous bakers worldwide. Among them were Gondolinius's Oragor Mentaylis, who owned the World's Largest Bakery (and nobody dared fight him on that); Sevdrolet's Jimalangang Kobrob; and the KoPWARToD's Happra Ling King, whose alliance was to the Rakhine rebellion brewing up north. Upon his winning the competition, the judges had no idea what country to award the top prize to, and so (as is, of course, usual) war was declared between the KoPWARToD and Hakha Rakhine. Marricopra threw themselves into the war, angry over the loss of Ashmanschkra and Centrius centuries before (and from getting last place in the competition), and led by Queen Ingelle "the Mad." They quickly drew out after the mysterious death of Ingelle and the ascension of King Billy Bob the Sixth, who gave the KoPWARToD several million dollars in reparations and an apology letter. What remained of the Northern Order finally wiped themselves out by throwing themselves and their disease-ridden bodies into the war. This ended with the Treaty of the Kitchen, the formation of Hakha Rakhine and the final dissolution of the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and the subsequent breakout of fireplague across Seseco. == The Second Fireplague Epidemic: 1509-1576 == The Seseco epidemic ended within a few months (see: the first fireplague epidemic and how that worked on Odorslat), but spread back south to Mocze via merchants from Santa Marino and then to Gondolinius, who sent diseased persons to Silencio and Marricopra out of spite (remember - they had their beginnings as religious fanatics). The two almost declared war in return, but then half of their armies fell ill and they decided otherwise. This epidemic went off and on for the next seventy years, with each breakout having epicenters in oddly diverse places, among them being the new Hakha Rakhine, the southernmost 2 blocks of a city in Odorslat, and Croissant Island. This epidemic ended with the Blizzard to End All Blizzards, which lasted exactly 3 days but was enough to kill the archaea-bacteria worldwide. The disease was confined to the We Hate Fire Quarantine Hospital, which was set up in the Mocze desert over the original site of the fire to ensure no one lighted it again. I would say there was peace from here on out, but there isn't, because this was when I remembered that tectonic plates were a thing. == The Split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet: 1599 and a couple years after that == The large, desert-y island of Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet, named after the two people groups that lived there, was situated on a fault line that became more precarious with each year after the Flood, until it finally broke apart during an earthquake and tsunami just south of the Central Archipelago, creating an event known as the Mini-Flood. The country officially became two (it had been threatening to become so for a while), with Ashmanschkra becoming the war peoples of the west, eagerly helping Altar break from Marricopra, though the Altarians themselves didn't care too much as Marricopra provided financial support. Sevdrolet was a nation of pacifists, and remained strictly neutral in all the Central Basin conflicts, though it formed close ties with the CoN. They became known for their art, and hated being invaded. However, seeing as they had no army, this happened over and over despite their declaring independence and creating more and more statues of famous Sevdroletis, which no one cared to take down as they actually looked quite good. The world began to be split over "do you support Ashmanschkra or Sevdrolet?" but as neither nation had the patience to fight the other, it all came to naught and everyone stopped caring, because the islands had moved into such a location to be perfect for beach vacations and millions flooded there. == The Economic Collapse of 1684 == After a little less than a century of relative-but-not-really peace, war in Skelmrelm completely demolished the economy of said country, bringing upon general economic collapse worldwide, as just about everyone depended on Skelmrelm for one reason or another. Does this name sound unfamiliar? Odorslat had, during this time, undergone yet another civil war that led to its renaming. The citizens were relieved that they were at least not called Knitted-Socks-ians. Skelmrelm during this time had moved past Marricopra in terms of GDP (and, in some areas, development) and become the new world epicenter, especially for the north. Gondolinius still considered Marricopra their main provider, however, and Silencio found the Kingdom easier to access. However, whatever petty disputes they had became unimportant in the face of total annihilation of all they'd worked for. However, with the discovery of oil deposits on Sevdrolet, the world economy slowly rebuilt as nations focused southward, and then back North after the Skelmrelm war ended. By 1690, the world economy had generally stabilized. == The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat == This is why the mountains have two main ranges. However, though the epicenter of this was in the mountains, aftershocks were so strong in the capital (on that bay just south of them) that it was completely demolished. This created a political split over who should rule where and how they should rebuild, and effectively ended the Republic of Odorslat as it was known. War broke out over the ruins of Odorslat-Priyoria, ending with the Treaty of What's Left of Priyoriya that split the country in four: Skelmrelm, the Republic of Saldon, the Kingdom of the Remnant, and the Spire Realm. The Kingdom of the Remnant was basically a puppet state of both Saldon and Skelmrelm, but at different times, seeing as it was located on the ruins of Priyoriya and only populated by a few thousand, mostly scholars and archaeologists there to study and preserve what was left of the city. Odorslat once again was no longer a world power, and Silencio began to compete with Marricopra for the title of highest GDP, until the 1794 Marricopran Revolution (see: [[The We're Sick of King Salamandario Revolution]]), after which the country turned inward to sort out its own problems. By 1799, the world was caught in a precarious balance between Skelmrelm and Silencio, as they had no access to Marricopra's resources (except for Sevdrolet, which the Kingdom just couldn't ignore). This resulted in a slight dip in the economy ~1800, but it eventually stabilized as Silencio began to compensate, and finally Marricopra (which had at last rid itself of Altar) reentered the world, about half the size it had been before. == Lacertiliitis: 1837-1850 == The disease began among the thousands of lizard species found at Great Lacertilia National Park. Still no one knows exactly which species spread it to humans, but the story goes like this: shopowner Tylline Tortatolus and his family visited the park in Firbicus 1837, and three weeks after returning, his wife died. Within the next two days, both of his children complained of pain in their mouth, throat, and stomach. Two days later, they died. Tylline lasted long enough to tell his neighbors of the strange occurrence, and then died in the home of musician Vollus Senddarry. The disease spread from the Senddarry household across the small town of Markpinne. The disease made it via caravan to the capital, and spread quickly through the population there. Then-Queen Nichra III soon realized what was happening and enforced a quarantine in the northeast part of the city, but not before boats carrying timber - the country's main resource - had reached Saldon, Gondolinius, and Ortalor, spreading the disease there too. Soon testing was performed in the King Jimmy Central Hospital, and it was found that the disease turned one's saliva to hydrochloric acid. Scientists worldwide set to work creating a vaccine, but the most they could do was prevent death, though not entirely. Certain anomalies were found in the poorer parts of the city, where most of the population had already gone through a bout of Lizard Pox, a non-fatal disease spread by the Greeg lizard. Those who had already had the Pox were naturally immune to the disease - named Lacertiliitis after the park where it originated - and so many were hired on as doctors or even merely recipients of tests. They were paid by the government for their trouble, and often hired and paid ridiculous amounts of money to take over positions unstaffed because of the epidemic. Throughout the rest of the world scientists worked aggressively on creating a vaccine, or, in the case of Ashmanschkra, spreading Lizard Pox to as many citizens as possible. Because of this, most of the population had a natural immunity to Lacertiliitis by 1848. It is considered one of the most effective public health initiatives to date. Saldon and Skelmrelm teamed up to create a semi-effective vaccine, which forced out the virus by the second day, often leaving people on the brink of death but at least alive. They took to spreading numbing shots among their population, which at least prevented the pain caused from the acidic saliva. The vaccine was spread with the Kingdom of the Remnant, which consented to being absorbed into Skelmrelm, but the Spire Realm told themselves they could "handle this." They were all dead in three weeks. Ortalor stole some of the vaccine from Skelmrelm and tried to refine it, but only ended up creating a highly addictive pain medicine, which created a lot of addicts and became very illegal after a year, when the government finally realized the problem. They attempted to use the "Lizard Pox Solution," but as their climate wasn't sustainable to the Greeg, the initiative failed. The disease finally died out in 1849 after most of the population succumbed to it. Gondolinius learned to work with the disease, and the hot climate created its first mutation, spread by melted cells. This resulted in a burning sensation throughout the body, which the Southern Order (now a strong theo-political presence in the area) promoted as a religious experience, not knowing how deadly the disease was. Lacertiliitis and the "Fire of the Heavens" mutation spread even more rapidly throughout Gondolinius and eventually to the abandoned We Hate Fire Hospital, which still had the remains of fireplague all over it. The Imperialist Party of Gondolinius set up an initiative to promote the quarantining of sick individuals. The Southern Order fought back against this relentlessly, creating a split in the general population over whether or not the "Fire of the Heavens" phenomena was a religious experience or a serious medical condition. Those who considered it religious were eventually put in a mental hospital during the Second Apocalypse, and the rest ran away to the desert. That aside, the disease died out in the urban parts of Gondolinius, but thrived in the rural areas around the Fireplague hospital, which created it's own problem, but more on that later... In the CoN, where the disease was spread from Marricopra via Sevdrolet and the oilfield workers there, the disease also mutated, creating something similar to the "Fire of the Heavens" bacteria, but instead causing only the skin to burn and dry out. This version wasn't completely fatal, even though Lizard Pox wasn't prevalent among the CoN. It was thought that the melting of the cells in the unceasing heat lessened the effects, but the disease was eradicated in 1845 due to a spike in heat and a drought, and so was never able to be studied. By 1850, the disease had calmed down worldwide (except for Gondolinius, but that's next). == Lacertiliitis-Fireplague Meltdown: 1895-1901 == The worst pandemic known to mankind. It began in what was renamed the Great Imperial Quarantine Hospital in central Gondolinius (the site has once again been abandoned, and is no longer owned by the country), where the archaea-bacteria known as fireplague had lain dormant on all the abandoned tools, beds, and especially in the indent in the floor that had once been the One and Only Everlasting Flame. As Lacertiliitis patients flooded in, using all the infected equipment and lying in the fireplague-infested beds, the two diseases began to combine, resulting in the first case of what was known, rather creatively, as "Lacertiliitis-fireplague." The first recorded patient was Appap Nipzap, a dockworker, of southern Gondolinius. He first reported a 106-degree fever - the universal signal of fireplague - and the next day his skin turned red, and he was said to claim it "burned worse than the Fire of the Heavens" (a disease he had, at first, survived). Three days after first reporting a fever, the red receded, turning into small boils that bled. After five days he appeared to be recovering, until he reported the signifying mouth-esophagus-stomach pain that came with Lacertiliitis. After a week, he finally coughed up blood and died. The new mutation spread throughout the hospital faster than even the Fire of the Heavens, apparently being more contagious than any previous strain (spread via touch), leaving only two survivors - very pregnant women - who had a strange natural immunity. Lacertiliitis-fireplague spread slowly south and then trickled through the poorer, non-immune southern Gondolinius population. Before the Gondolinian government could figure out what was happening, thousands of carriers, sick, and healthy alike had boarded boats to Gusmoas and Ortalor, one of the world's least populated areas. This mass exodus became the downfall of Imperial Gondolinius, but not quite yet. The sick aboard the Gusmoas-bound boats all died on the way, and only four remained and made it to land. They set fire to the boats they came on and as they incorporated themselves into the Silencian population, millions more died. The several dozens remaining declared themselves Gods and fled into the mountains, only to be discovered nearly a century later by the Orsk Federation. Silencio collapsed, utterly and completely, and the land became inhabitable, overrun by plants, weeds, and rabid animals. On Del Sacarmo, which was still dry and dusty from the sandstorms that plagued them almost a thousand years ago, received the refugees with open arms, only to kill three-quarters of the population. Only those in the North survived, quarantining themselves. The Orsk Federation received the disease via shipments from Santa Marino, and only went into lockdown after half of the population had been killed. Sometime during this the disease makes its way to Marricopra, where it kills King Jimmy the Nineteenth (and last), sending the Kingdom into upheaval. By 1896 the whole world is in lockdown, save for Odorslat, which can't sustain itself very well and goes to war. Saldon and Skelmrelm begin a decades-long war over the general control of Odorslat, which is slowly starving to death. Skelmrelm decides to send all of its scientists to the Central Archipelago, and other countries follow suit. The Shrine of the Great Star Lobster becomes a giant lab, with everyone working according to their own time zone schedule so work is always being done. In 1897 a vaccine is created by a team of Skelmish, Altarian, and Sevdroleti scientists. By 1901, the vaccine is distributed worldwide and rebuilding begins. Until the Second End of the World comes. == The Second Apocalypse: 1906 == For a land inhabited by a religious group whose only claim to fame was that they started fires incessantly, there was only one Fire War. There were 12 - exactly twelve, and three were children - members of the Northern Order left. They lived a little North of the We Hate Fire Hospital, in tents, and obsessively lit up random patches of desert. Every year they got more and more mad at the financial support lent to the Southern Order and those who defected from the North, until they were all positively boiling with anger and in 1906 set fire to the capital of Gondolinius. Gondolinius assumed it was Marricopra - as they were prone to do, after the Seventy-Three-and-A-Half-Years War - and declared war on the very weakened kingdom. And then it happened. The fires, as it turned out, were ''still'' full of fireplague - somehow - and within a week both Gondolinius and Marricopra had a full-fledged outbreak on their hands. Gondolinius gave Marricopra a half-hearted apology and then returned to declare war on the Northern Order. But there were only 12 in the Order, and Gondolinius was still angry and so turned on itself and the Southern Order allies in Marricopra. So began the Fire Wars, with the Southern Order lighting anything aflame that stood in their path. At one point, they appeared to be gaining the upper hand, but then half of them came down with the newest Lacertiliitis-fireplague mutation. Though much of the world was vaccinated, the vaccine only worked on the 1895 strain, and those who had had Lizard Pox previously only had a 3-in-5 chance of recovery. From Marricopra the new strain spread to Altar, then to Ashmanschkra. From Gondolinius it went to Gusmoas, Santa Marino, and then to Seseco. Nowhere was safe anymore: the heat couldn't melt the diseased cells, and the cold couldn't kill them. The Fire Wars became an absolute farce, with no real end to them after the Gondolinian Emperor died of the plague. The Order was considered once and for all extinct, though it was rumored that members were still strewn worldwide, lighting fires in secret. Altar was so crippled by the plague and war effort that they consented to being owned by Ashmanschkra for a time. However, the Ashmanschkran government finally collapsed, for once and for all, ruined by internal fighting and the overabundance of Greeg lizards. Sevdrolet was finally overrun by the CoN, but then they all got sick. Sevdrolet had no official government after they all died of the plague, and the CoN retreated into itself, eventually being renamed the HPN. The Odorslatian governments survived; however, both were severely weakened and broke out into a few civil wars that all ended in painful deaths for all parties involved. Gusmoas continued to have no contact with the outside world, becoming increasingly more superstitious and oddly religious, founding the Church of the Party People in the Trees. The Basilica of the Treehouse was built on the ruins of the Palace of Tressene. The mountain people built a massive temple to their founders, which is actually quite beautiful - adorned with intricate carvings, reflecting pools, and floating candles, etc - that still stands today. They call it the First Wonder of the Modern World, and honestly, who can dispute that? Seseco had... problems (see: South Seseco). Ortalor was almost completely wiped out, but a few thousand survived. They decided to work on re-fertilizing their soil, and only had contact with Skelmrelm. And the Kingdom of Marricopra, ruled by King Bantramus II, finally collapsed. With that ended the world's Second Age, and in 1920, Skelmrelm declared that the Second Apocalypse was over. So began the Third Age. 15043fd28f5670474bf30aaf045a415cb8f9d136 275 254 2023-09-17T17:41:49Z /* Lacertiliitis: 1837-1850 */ wikitext text/x-wiki They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya. Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate the Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and while Eddenarah had the upper hand at first, the Lobsterites gradually improved. When they unified under the name Children of Nephrops then they routed Eddenarah off of the islands. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish were the Children of Nephrops (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Children of Nephrops (CoN) just to say "HA!" The CoN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The CoN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the CoN's capital. The CoN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The CoN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The CoN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the CoN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the CoN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the CoN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the CoN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the CoN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. South Seseco is also a place of many inventions, the [[Traffic Signal]] (1872, [[Saint Vennes]], [[Deprivique]]), [[Printing Press]] (1450, [[Burges]], [[Grand Duchy of Burges]]) and [[Controlled Access Motorway]] (1913, [[Kvev]], [[Tornobyl]]) were all invented here. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chkyeb]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. The two sides united in 1550 to form the Chkyeb Uniate. Expansion continued eastward. In 1620 a civil war began. ==== The Jenois War of 1620 ==== Jenois was an exclave of people who remained in the Mountain Culture. They called themselves Kruchtevs (a common term used to refer to them in a negative light was "Crookies") and their capital was [[Kauter]]. [[Jenois|Jenois City]], as we know it today was an orsk catholic outpost that spoke Letique. The Kruchtevs were under severe penal laws, below is a basic rundown: * Crookies may not buy land unless the land had been owned by another Crookie. * Crookies may not go to school. * Crookies could not practice religion. * Crookies may only speak Letique. * Crookies may not possess anything that could be used to defend themselves * A maximum of one shop could be opened by a Crookie in any one town. * Crookies could only shop at places owned by Crookies. * Crookies could not ride carriages or own horses. * So on, So forth The first "Crookie Uprising" was actually in 1590 but it failed miserably and half of [[Kauter]] was burned to the ground. In 1620, with help from the [[Tornobyl Arms Association]] they were able to start a revolution in Kauter. The surrounding area was quickly captured and the [[Kruchtev Union]] was declared. They were followed by Deprivique, a region also descriminated against because of their Vizantian Catholic faith. Together the two new nations took over everything east of the Chkyiv Mountains. At home, the Uniate was struggling to keep the peace as a new disease called "Crookpox" (named so because many believed it was a consequence of discriminating against the Kruchtevs) was running rampant throughout the country. The [[Kruchtev Union]], [[Deprivique Republic]] and [[Letoque State]] (Puppet of Deprivique) were given fully recognised independance. ==== Reunited ==== In 1720, Letoque joined Deprivique to create the [[Holy Vizantian Union]]. The [[Kruchtev Union]] united with the [[City State of Tornve]] to create the [[New Kruchtev State]]. In 1722 the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] reunited with the [[Verst Empire]] and in 1723 a war began. ==== War of Letoque (1723 - 1770) ==== On the 3rd September 1723 the 2nd Chkyeb Union declared war on the [[Holy Vizantian Union]] and the [[New Kruchtev State]]. At first, their attack was strong, they took over Tornve and many mountanious regions. But then winter hit. The counteroffensive was described by a verst survivor as "Fast and sharp". They mainly attacked at nigh tand in small numbers. The Verst army was pushed all the way back to Verst. By then Tornobyl joined the war and more reinforcements were coming from allied nations. The war went on like this for 47 years. Then they decided they would better just unite, lest lose anymore lives. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the east (1530): The wast was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Let's start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting each other. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. Deprivique natives originated from somewhere along the [[Vizantus Strait]]. They left their homeland of Dovranland due to a war with some neighboring power. We don't know how long ago this was, but best historians estimate that it was during the Post Flood era. [[File:0e5138d4-7ec9-4f38-9982-3b7a8d3af6d5.jpg|center|thumb|Mural in Petersport depicting the natives of Deprivique leaving their homeland circa 1198]]Deprivique was two kingdoms, the Grand Duchy of Hallem and the Kingdom of Leynes (now Petersport). They united in 748 to form the [[Deprivique Union]]. They were invaded by their neighbour, [[Letoque]] to the north ~912 during the [[Letoque Conquests]]. While they were independant not much notable happened. ===== Jenois ===== Today [[Jenois]] is a disputed canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] (Officially it is part of the canton [[Letoque Jenois]]) It does not have a very unique culture at all, they are basically just people from the Chkyiv Mountains who emmigrated west and met the Letoque people. Something that is notable about them is that they were hit incredibly hard during the Lacertiliitis. Almost three quarters of their population died, half of the remaining emmigrated. The city of Jenois was almost empty by 1900. They repopulated at very impressive rates, and today the region has a population of 1.4 Million. ===== Letoque ===== Letoque is and always was the dominant power in the West. The people of Letoque (Letiquain)'s origins are unknown but we think they came from the same place as the Tornoblites. The capital of Letoque is [[Saint Vennes]]. It is the second most populous canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] but has no city over one million in population. Over it's history Letoque has had a very unique take on land, similar to that of the Russian Empire. This encouraged people to spread out which is why they are significantly less dense than the other cantons. Letoque is home to Jenois, a disputed canton in it's east. Letoque lost land and was eventually destroyed in the [[Letoque Wars]] which lasted from 1610 - 1670 and main belligrents were the Verst Empire and Grand Duchy of Burges (GDB seceded from the Chkyeb Uniate in 1620). ==== Summary ==== South Seseco has had a history of civil wars, disease and violent wars, however it has also had times of prosperity. The "Seseco Golden Age" was the time from 1723 - 1803 both started and ended by war, but during which there was no fighting and instead inventions, discoveries and industrialisation. == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the CoN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The CoN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame, which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the CoN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == For those of you who are too lazy to read: basically the three powers of the Centrius Basin were at war off and on for 73 (and a quarter!) years. This was the last major war of this type, and ended with the CoN regaining control of the islands (for now...). In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the CoN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in late 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the CoN capital, while the CoN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). After half a year of this, all sides realized that this type of warfare was entirely unsustainable, and called a year-and-a-half ceasefire to build up their resources. In 1304 AY, Marricopra launched an assault on Centrius, and held and defended the island for ten years. The CoN was too busy rebuilding its capital for what was at least the third time, and so it was no difficulty for Marricopra to hold back the meager Ashmanschkri army, until 1314, when the CoN rejoined the battle, heading straight for the Marricopran capital. It was the worst destruction the area had seen since the Flood. Marricopra immediately moved backwards to defend their capital, and while the CoN-Marricopra conflict went on in what remained of the Valley of Pryoriya, Ashmanschkra took the islands. Marricopra eventually pushed back the CoN to the far East. The loss from this set of fighting sparked another ceasefire, this one lasting four and a half years. This truce was broken by the CoN, who made their first stab at Ashmanschkra. This time it was successful, and they officially owned the Ashmanschrki army (Sevdrolet refused to join this war. This created a rift in the country, but more on this later) for a time. However, the Army of Ashmanschkra the Inevitable refused to be owned by any other faction, and rebelled against the CoN generals, which put a slight dent in the CoN army, but mostly distracted them from the Marricopra 1326 invasion of Centrius. Marricopra owned the islands for another 5 years, in which the CoN ''and'' Ashmanschkra banded together (ironically) to shove them out, but the Marricopran army was so large they couldn't manage this until 1332, and then Ashmanschkra turned on the CoN, and they fought it out for a few years while Marricopra went back to rebuilding and making poisons from the lizards in the only national reserve, which was overhunted anyway. The longest ceasefire was from 1336-1343, after which Marricopra and the CoN simultaneously pulled support from the Order (both North and South). Ashmanschkra admitted defeat and decided to focus on its quickly worsening relations with the pacifist Sevdrolet. Once the Order got involved, almost everything within view was burned to the ground, Centrius became so inhabitable everyone wondered why they still fought over it, and King Vilassey of Marricopra died in battle, leaving no heirs but his niece, Nichra, who became the first Queen of Marricopra. She had little to no popular support, as she was a woman, but proved to be a brilliant strategist and brought Marricopra to an almost decisive victory at the Fourty-Fifth Battle of Great Nephrops Island, until the southern Order turned on them and Marricopra surrendered and shut its doors to the world. The CoN claimed Centrius, renamed it the Grand Lobster Islands, and the Order went home. In 1374, the Treaty of the Lobsterites was signed (grudgingly) by CoN general Parsley and Queen Nichra, who was at the very least lauded for her dignity in the face of such a crushing defeat. == The Fireplague Epidemic: 1406-1455 == The disease technically began spreading in 1402, but given the slowness of travel at the time, it didn't spread beyond the Great and True (Northern) Order until 1406. The One and Only Everlasting Flame apparently had microbes in them. Harmful ones. And after centuries of humans tending to the fire and its odd microbiome, they latched onto the Arch-Priests, and spread throughout the Mocze Desert's tent cities. It began with the Chief Arch-Priest, Bengellus, burning with a 106 degree fever. The next day, all four other Arch-Priests woke up with the same fever, and Bengellus broke out in hives said to burn "as if the Eternal Fire had itself showered its infernal sparks upon the skin." On the third day, Bengellus began vomiting blood. On the fourth, he died. The four remaining Arch-Priests all exhibited the same symptoms, but not within the same time frame. Hibriz died the day the boils appeared; Porops had a fever for a week and then got the boils and coughed blood (and died) all on the same day; Caprokcil only ever had boils, which lasted a week and a half and then he died with no warning; and Nezrel had a fever for two days, boils for a week and a half, and eventually recovered with only some light scarring. From Nezrel and the other four's caretakers, the disease spread across Mocze without warning and with no cure. Only a quarter of the Northern Order survives, and they start lighting fires in what is by then proto-Gondolinius, which spreads the disease through the southern Order like wildfire, and across the ocean to Marricopra via merchant ships. Marricopra gladly passes this on to the CoN and Ashmansckra via Altar (which has begun to rebel). All the guards on Great Nephrops Island die from the disease, but no one dares go replace them for fear of becoming infected themselves. Centrius goes unclaimed - it is during this time that Sevdrolet goes and unofficially names it the Central Archipelago, and the name sticks. The disease is sent north to Odorslat, but very few die as the cold climate cannot sustain the archaea-bacteria [''and yes, I'm basing the vaguely scientific nature of fireplague off of my 7th grade science class'']. What little of the disease can spread makes its way to Del Sacarmo/KoPWARToD, where it eventually dies out but destabilizes the government enough for a complete overhaul ['''Asisi - this is your chance to step in and write your history]'''. After killing about a fifth of the Marricopran population (including the monarch, but they had a direct heir), more than half of Mocze, and a sixth of the rest of the world, the disease eventually dies down in 1455, as the population had naturally immunized itself, save for a few sparse outbreaks in remote areas. == The War of the Chicken Pie: 1507-1509 == In 1507 AY, what remained of the KoPWARToD (a small scrap of land on Seseco; now Hakha Rakhine) held the First (and only) International Baking Competition, inviting famous bakers worldwide. Among them were Gondolinius's Oragor Mentaylis, who owned the World's Largest Bakery (and nobody dared fight him on that); Sevdrolet's Jimalangang Kobrob; and the KoPWARToD's Happra Ling King, whose alliance was to the Rakhine rebellion brewing up north. Upon his winning the competition, the judges had no idea what country to award the top prize to, and so (as is, of course, usual) war was declared between the KoPWARToD and Hakha Rakhine. Marricopra threw themselves into the war, angry over the loss of Ashmanschkra and Centrius centuries before (and from getting last place in the competition), and led by Queen Ingelle "the Mad." They quickly drew out after the mysterious death of Ingelle and the ascension of King Billy Bob the Sixth, who gave the KoPWARToD several million dollars in reparations and an apology letter. What remained of the Northern Order finally wiped themselves out by throwing themselves and their disease-ridden bodies into the war. This ended with the Treaty of the Kitchen, the formation of Hakha Rakhine and the final dissolution of the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and the subsequent breakout of fireplague across Seseco. == The Second Fireplague Epidemic: 1509-1576 == The Seseco epidemic ended within a few months (see: the first fireplague epidemic and how that worked on Odorslat), but spread back south to Mocze via merchants from Santa Marino and then to Gondolinius, who sent diseased persons to Silencio and Marricopra out of spite (remember - they had their beginnings as religious fanatics). The two almost declared war in return, but then half of their armies fell ill and they decided otherwise. This epidemic went off and on for the next seventy years, with each breakout having epicenters in oddly diverse places, among them being the new Hakha Rakhine, the southernmost 2 blocks of a city in Odorslat, and Croissant Island. This epidemic ended with the Blizzard to End All Blizzards, which lasted exactly 3 days but was enough to kill the archaea-bacteria worldwide. The disease was confined to the We Hate Fire Quarantine Hospital, which was set up in the Mocze desert over the original site of the fire to ensure no one lighted it again. I would say there was peace from here on out, but there isn't, because this was when I remembered that tectonic plates were a thing. == The Split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet: 1599 and a couple years after that == The large, desert-y island of Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet, named after the two people groups that lived there, was situated on a fault line that became more precarious with each year after the Flood, until it finally broke apart during an earthquake and tsunami just south of the Central Archipelago, creating an event known as the Mini-Flood. The country officially became two (it had been threatening to become so for a while), with Ashmanschkra becoming the war peoples of the west, eagerly helping Altar break from Marricopra, though the Altarians themselves didn't care too much as Marricopra provided financial support. Sevdrolet was a nation of pacifists, and remained strictly neutral in all the Central Basin conflicts, though it formed close ties with the CoN. They became known for their art, and hated being invaded. However, seeing as they had no army, this happened over and over despite their declaring independence and creating more and more statues of famous Sevdroletis, which no one cared to take down as they actually looked quite good. The world began to be split over "do you support Ashmanschkra or Sevdrolet?" but as neither nation had the patience to fight the other, it all came to naught and everyone stopped caring, because the islands had moved into such a location to be perfect for beach vacations and millions flooded there. == The Economic Collapse of 1684 == After a little less than a century of relative-but-not-really peace, war in Skelmrelm completely demolished the economy of said country, bringing upon general economic collapse worldwide, as just about everyone depended on Skelmrelm for one reason or another. Does this name sound unfamiliar? Odorslat had, during this time, undergone yet another civil war that led to its renaming. The citizens were relieved that they were at least not called Knitted-Socks-ians. Skelmrelm during this time had moved past Marricopra in terms of GDP (and, in some areas, development) and become the new world epicenter, especially for the north. Gondolinius still considered Marricopra their main provider, however, and Silencio found the Kingdom easier to access. However, whatever petty disputes they had became unimportant in the face of total annihilation of all they'd worked for. However, with the discovery of oil deposits on Sevdrolet, the world economy slowly rebuilt as nations focused southward, and then back North after the Skelmrelm war ended. By 1690, the world economy had generally stabilized. == The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat == This is why the mountains have two main ranges. However, though the epicenter of this was in the mountains, aftershocks were so strong in the capital (on that bay just south of them) that it was completely demolished. This created a political split over who should rule where and how they should rebuild, and effectively ended the Republic of Odorslat as it was known. War broke out over the ruins of Odorslat-Priyoria, ending with the Treaty of What's Left of Priyoriya that split the country in four: Skelmrelm, the Republic of Saldon, the Kingdom of the Remnant, and the Spire Realm. The Kingdom of the Remnant was basically a puppet state of both Saldon and Skelmrelm, but at different times, seeing as it was located on the ruins of Priyoriya and only populated by a few thousand, mostly scholars and archaeologists there to study and preserve what was left of the city. Odorslat once again was no longer a world power, and Silencio began to compete with Marricopra for the title of highest GDP, until the 1794 Marricopran Revolution (see: [[The We're Sick of King Salamandario Revolution]]), after which the country turned inward to sort out its own problems. By 1799, the world was caught in a precarious balance between Skelmrelm and Silencio, as they had no access to Marricopra's resources (except for Sevdrolet, which the Kingdom just couldn't ignore). This resulted in a slight dip in the economy ~1800, but it eventually stabilized as Silencio began to compensate, and finally Marricopra (which had at last rid itself of Altar) reentered the world, about half the size it had been before. == Lacertiliitis: 1837-1850 == The disease began among the thousands of lizard species found at Great Lacertilia National Park. Still no one knows exactly which species spread it to humans, but the story goes like this: shopowner Tylline Tortatolus and his family visited the park in Firbicus 1837, and three weeks after returning, his wife died. Within the next two days, both of his children complained of pain in their mouth, throat, and stomach. Two days later, they died. Tylline lasted long enough to tell his neighbors of the strange occurrence, and then died in the home of musician Vollus Senddarry. The disease spread from the Senddarry household across the small town of Markpinne. The disease made it via caravan to the capital, and spread quickly through the population there. Then-Queen Nichra III soon realized what was happening and enforced a quarantine in the northeast part of the city, but not before boats carrying timber - the country's main resource - had reached Saldon, Gondolinius, and Oralotzo, spreading the disease there too. Soon testing was performed in the King Jimmy Central Hospital, and it was found that the disease turned one's saliva to hydrochloric acid. Scientists worldwide set to work creating a vaccine, but the most they could do was prevent death, though not entirely. Certain anomalies were found in the poorer parts of the city, where most of the population had already gone through a bout of Lizard Pox, a non-fatal disease spread by the Greeg lizard. Those who had already had the Pox were naturally immune to the disease - named Lacertiliitis after the park where it originated - and so many were hired on as doctors or even merely recipients of tests. They were paid by the government for their trouble, and often hired and paid ridiculous amounts of money to take over positions unstaffed because of the epidemic. Throughout the rest of the world scientists worked aggressively on creating a vaccine, or, in the case of Ashmanschkra, spreading Lizard Pox to as many citizens as possible. Because of this, most of the population had a natural immunity to Lacertiliitis by 1848. It is considered one of the most effective public health initiatives to date. Saldon and Skelmrelm teamed up to create a semi-effective vaccine, which forced out the virus by the second day, often leaving people on the brink of death but at least alive. They took to spreading numbing shots among their population, which at least prevented the pain caused from the acidic saliva. The vaccine was spread with the Kingdom of the Remnant, which consented to being absorbed into Skelmrelm, but the Spire Realm told themselves they could "handle this." They were all dead in three weeks. Gondolinius learned to work with the disease, and the hot climate created its first mutation, spread by melted cells. This resulted in a burning sensation throughout the body, which the Southern Order (now a strong theo-political presence in the area) promoted as a religious experience, not knowing how deadly the disease was. Lacertiliitis and the "Fire of the Heavens" mutation spread even more rapidly throughout Gondolinius and eventually to the abandoned We Hate Fire Hospital, which still had the remains of fireplague all over it. The Imperialist Party of Gondolinius set up an initiative to promote the quarantining of sick individuals. The Southern Order fought back against this relentlessly, creating a split in the general population over whether or not the "Fire of the Heavens" phenomena was a religious experience or a serious medical condition. Those who considered it religious were eventually put in a mental hospital during the Second Apocalypse, and the rest ran away to the desert. That aside, the disease died out in the urban parts of Gondolinius, but thrived in the rural areas around the Fireplague hospital, which created it's own problem, but more on that later... In the CoN, where the disease was spread from Marricopra via Sevdrolet and the oilfield workers there, the disease also mutated, creating something similar to the "Fire of the Heavens" bacteria, but instead causing only the skin to burn and dry out. This version wasn't completely fatal, even though Lizard Pox wasn't prevalent among the CoN. It was thought that the melting of the cells in the unceasing heat lessened the effects, but the disease was eradicated in 1845 due to a spike in heat and a drought, and so was never able to be studied. By 1850, the disease had calmed down worldwide (except for Gondolinius, but that's next). == Lacertiliitis-Fireplague Meltdown: 1895-1901 == The worst pandemic known to mankind. It began in what was renamed the Great Imperial Quarantine Hospital in central Gondolinius (the site has once again been abandoned, and is no longer owned by the country), where the archaea-bacteria known as fireplague had lain dormant on all the abandoned tools, beds, and especially in the indent in the floor that had once been the One and Only Everlasting Flame. As Lacertiliitis patients flooded in, using all the infected equipment and lying in the fireplague-infested beds, the two diseases began to combine, resulting in the first case of what was known, rather creatively, as "Lacertiliitis-fireplague." The first recorded patient was Appap Nipzap, a dockworker, of southern Gondolinius. He first reported a 106-degree fever - the universal signal of fireplague - and the next day his skin turned red, and he was said to claim it "burned worse than the Fire of the Heavens" (a disease he had, at first, survived). Three days after first reporting a fever, the red receded, turning into small boils that bled. After five days he appeared to be recovering, until he reported the signifying mouth-esophagus-stomach pain that came with Lacertiliitis. After a week, he finally coughed up blood and died. The new mutation spread throughout the hospital faster than even the Fire of the Heavens, apparently being more contagious than any previous strain (spread via touch), leaving only two survivors - very pregnant women - who had a strange natural immunity. Lacertiliitis-fireplague spread slowly south and then trickled through the poorer, non-immune southern Gondolinius population. Before the Gondolinian government could figure out what was happening, thousands of carriers, sick, and healthy alike had boarded boats to Gusmoas and Oralotzo, one of the world's least populated areas. This mass exodus became the downfall of Imperial Gondolinius, but not quite yet. The sick aboard the Gusmoas-bound boats all died on the way, and only four remained and made it to land. They set fire to the boats they came on and as they incorporated themselves into the Silencian population, millions more died. The several dozens remaining declared themselves Gods and fled into the mountains, only to be discovered nearly a century later by the Orsk Federation. Silencio collapsed, utterly and completely, and the land became inhabitable, overrun by plants, weeds, and rabid animals. On Del Sacarmo, which was still dry and dusty from the sandstorms that plagued them almost a thousand years ago, received the refugees with open arms, only to kill three-quarters of the population. Only those in the North survived, quarantining themselves. The Orsk Federation received the disease via shipments from Santa Marino, and only went into lockdown after half of the population had been killed. Sometime during this the disease makes its way to Marricopra, where it kills King Jimmy the Nineteenth (and last), sending the Kingdom into upheaval. By 1896 the whole world is in lockdown, save for Odorslat, which can't sustain itself very well and goes to war. Saldon and Skelmrelm begin a decades-long war over the general control of Odorslat, which is slowly starving to death. Skelmrelm decides to send all of its scientists to the Central Archipelago, and other countries follow suit. The Shrine of the Great Star Lobster becomes a giant lab, with everyone working according to their own time zone schedule so work is always being done. In 1897 a vaccine is created by a team of Skelmish, Altarian, and Sevdroleti scientists. By 1901, the vaccine is distributed worldwide and rebuilding begins. Until the Second End of the World comes. == The Second Apocalypse: 1906 == For a land inhabited by a religious group whose only claim to fame was that they started fires incessantly, there was only one Fire War. There were 12 - exactly twelve, and three were children - members of the Northern Order left. They lived a little North of the We Hate Fire Hospital, in tents, and obsessively lit up random patches of desert. Every year they got more and more mad at the financial support lent to the Southern Order and those who defected from the North, until they were all positively boiling with anger and in 1906 set fire to the capital of Gondolinius. Gondolinius assumed it was Marricopra - as they were prone to do, after the Seventy-Three-and-A-Half-Years War - and declared war on the very weakened kingdom. And then it happened. The fires, as it turned out, were ''still'' full of fireplague - somehow - and within a week both Gondolinius and Marricopra had a full-fledged outbreak on their hands. Gondolinius gave Marricopra a half-hearted apology and then returned to declare war on the Northern Order. But there were only 12 in the Order, and Gondolinius was still angry and so turned on itself and the Southern Order allies in Marricopra. So began the Fire Wars, with the Southern Order lighting anything aflame that stood in their path. At one point, they appeared to be gaining the upper hand, but then half of them came down with the newest Lacertiliitis-fireplague mutation. Though much of the world was vaccinated, the vaccine only worked on the 1895 strain, and those who had had Lizard Pox previously only had a 3-in-5 chance of recovery. From Marricopra the new strain spread to Altar, then to Ashmanschkra. From Gondolinius it went to Gusmoas, Santa Marino, and then to Seseco. Nowhere was safe anymore: the heat couldn't melt the diseased cells, and the cold couldn't kill them. The Fire Wars became an absolute farce, with no real end to them after the Gondolinian Emperor died of the plague. The Order was considered once and for all extinct, though it was rumored that members were still strewn worldwide, lighting fires in secret. Altar was so crippled by the plague and war effort that they consented to being owned by Ashmanschkra for a time. However, the Ashmanschkran government finally collapsed, for once and for all, ruined by internal fighting and the overabundance of Greeg lizards. Sevdrolet was finally overrun by the CoN, but then they all got sick. Sevdrolet had no official government after they all died of the plague, and the CoN retreated into itself, eventually being renamed the HPN. The Odorslatian governments survived; however, both were severely weakened and broke out into a few civil wars that all ended in painful deaths for all parties involved. Gusmoas continued to have no contact with the outside world, becoming increasingly more superstitious and oddly religious, founding the Church of the Party People in the Trees. The Basilica of the Treehouse was built on the ruins of the Palace of Tressene. The mountain people built a massive temple to their founders, which is actually quite beautiful - adorned with intricate carvings, reflecting pools, and floating candles, etc - that still stands today. They call it the First Wonder of the Modern World, and honestly, who can dispute that? Seseco had... problems (see: South Seseco). Oralotzo was almost completely wiped out, but a few thousand survived. They decided to work on re-fertilizing their soil, and only had contact with Skelmrelm. And the Kingdom of Marricopra, ruled by King Bantramus II, finally collapsed. With that ended the world's Second Age, and in 1920, Skelmrelm declared that the Second Apocalypse was over. So began the Third Age. 776cb6b3f7d8e3cd2917620f1f10968dd78ce6eb 0 82 255 2023-09-17T11:58:20Z Created page with "Tsoje is the capitol city of [[Oralotzo.]]" wikitext text/x-wiki Tsoje is the capitol city of [[Oralotzo.]] e57b894faec0a0b33f285daa1ec9d57e12a123ce 256 255 2023-09-17T11:58:56Z wikitext text/x-wiki Tsoje is the capitol city of [[Oralotzo]]. 075c7c53dcf6b219917e3606fc6dc7d2b233b117 0 59 257 244 2023-09-17T12:00:13Z wikitext text/x-wiki Oralotzo is a country on the Oralian continent [[File:Flag of Oralotzo.png|thumb|The flag of Oralotzo.]] {| class="wikitable" |+ !Country Name !Oralotzo |- |Capitol |[[Tsoje]] |- |Exonyms |[none yet] |- |Endonyms |Oralotzo, Tzojepa, |- |Endonym Meaning |"Great World", "Big Great Place" |- |Denomonym |Oralian |- |Ethnicities |Oralian, Edenarrahan, |- |Languages |Oralian |} == Categories == [[:Category:Countries]] 222054bee4582093bb0497e3dbaa301a9f492a92 0 18 258 71 2023-09-17T12:11:51Z wikitext text/x-wiki [[File:Screenshot 2023-09-02 at 12-11-08 Flag Designer.png|thumb|Flag of the Verst Empire pre 1550.

Hence, the name "Norreik" meaning Northern Realm. Its history gets more complex. It borders [[Hakha Rakhine]], [[Chkeyb State]], and the [[Orsk Federation]]. == History == ====Pre-12 times==== The Kingdom of Norreik used to be an area of 20 warring states fighting for supremacy and a bucket of grapes. They made grapes the "holy fruit," so when a thief ate 5 holy grapes from the shared bucket, everyone, not knowing where the thief came from, blamed each other for eating the HGs. Later, 5 of the 20 states decided to make a union that would "last forever". This is where the Hösaamiś Union came from. ====The Hösaamiś Union==== The Hösaaamiś Union was made up of 5 states that had the "holiest of grapes."

Priyoriya became a farming community, with hundreds of acres of crop squares in a large circle around their city, which they named "Eddennarah," meaning "the peace of home." Others called it "the place of pillars," which translated between many languages into what is now Odorslat. The center of the city held a circular temple structure which was half a governmental complex, with a - legend has it - giant palm tree that glowed under the full moon. to be continued 2fcd3300db674d8b672118667c764b5717dc66f2 6 87 288 2023-09-23T14:33:54Z Agdev(Toasters) 2 wikitext text/x-wiki da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709 6 88 289 2023-09-23T14:34:07Z Agdev(Toasters) 2 wikitext text/x-wiki da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709 6 89 290 2023-09-23T14:34:16Z Agdev(Toasters) 2 wikitext text/x-wiki da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709 6 90 291 2023-09-23T14:34:40Z Agdev(Toasters) 2 wikitext text/x-wiki da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709 0 91 292 2023-09-23T14:38:27Z Agdev(Toasters) 2 Created page with "== Dnoprik == Dnoprik is a city in the Orsk Federation.

Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate the Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and while Eddenarah had the upper hand at first, the Lobsterites gradually improved. When they unified under the name Children of Nephrops then they routed Eddenarah off of the islands. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == ''Main Article: [[Dark Ages]]'' Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish were the Children of Nephrops (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Children of Nephrops (CoN) just to say "HA!" The CoN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The CoN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the CoN's capital. The CoN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The CoN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The CoN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the CoN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the CoN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the CoN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the CoN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the CoN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. South Seseco is also a place of many inventions, the [[Traffic Signal]] (1872, [[Saint Vennes]], [[Deprivique]]), [[Printing Press]] (1450, [[Burges]], [[Grand Duchy of Burges]]) and [[Controlled Access Motorway]] (1913, [[Kvev]], [[Tornobyl]]) were all invented here. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chkyeb]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. The two sides united in 1550 to form the Chkyeb Uniate. Expansion continued eastward. In 1620 a civil war began. ==== The Jenois War of 1620 ==== Jenois was an exclave of people who remained in the Mountain Culture. They called themselves Kruchtevs (a common term used to refer to them in a negative light was "Crookies") and their capital was [[Kauter]]. [[Jenois|Jenois City]], as we know it today was an orsk catholic outpost that spoke Letique. The Kruchtevs were under severe penal laws, below is a basic rundown: * Crookies may not buy land unless the land had been owned by another Crookie. * Crookies may not go to school. * Crookies could not practice religion. * Crookies may only speak Letique. * Crookies may not possess anything that could be used to defend themselves * A maximum of one shop could be opened by a Crookie in any one town. * Crookies could only shop at places owned by Crookies. * Crookies could not ride carriages or own horses. * So on, So forth The first "Crookie Uprising" was actually in 1590 but it failed miserably and half of [[Kauter]] was burned to the ground. In 1620, with help from the [[Tornobyl Arms Association]] they were able to start a revolution in Kauter. The surrounding area was quickly captured and the [[Kruchtev Union]] was declared. They were followed by Deprivique, a region also descriminated against because of their Vizantian Catholic faith. Together the two new nations took over everything east of the Chkyiv Mountains. At home, the Uniate was struggling to keep the peace as a new disease called "Crookpox" (named so because many believed it was a consequence of discriminating against the Kruchtevs) was running rampant throughout the country. The [[Kruchtev Union]], [[Deprivique Republic]] and [[Letoque State]] (Puppet of Deprivique) were given fully recognised independance. ==== Reunited ==== In 1720, Letoque joined Deprivique to create the [[Holy Vizantian Union]]. The [[Kruchtev Union]] united with the [[City State of Tornve]] to create the [[New Kruchtev State]]. In 1722 the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] reunited with the [[Verst Empire]] and in 1723 a war began. ==== War of Letoque (1723 - 1770) ==== On the 3rd September 1723 the 2nd Chkyeb Union declared war on the [[Holy Vizantian Union]] and the [[New Kruchtev State]]. At first, their attack was strong, they took over Tornve and many mountanious regions. But then winter hit. The counteroffensive was described by a verst survivor as "Fast and sharp". They mainly attacked at nigh tand in small numbers. The Verst army was pushed all the way back to Verst. By then Tornobyl joined the war and more reinforcements were coming from allied nations. The war went on like this for 47 years. Then they decided they would better just unite, lest lose anymore lives. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the east (1530): The wast was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Let's start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting each other. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. Deprivique natives originated from somewhere along the [[Vizantus Strait]]. They left their homeland of Dovranland due to a war with some neighboring power. We don't know how long ago this was, but best historians estimate that it was during the Post Flood era. [[File:0e5138d4-7ec9-4f38-9982-3b7a8d3af6d5.jpg|center|thumb|Mural in Petersport depicting the natives of Deprivique leaving their homeland circa 1198]]Deprivique was two kingdoms, the Grand Duchy of Hallem and the Kingdom of Leynes (now Petersport). They united in 748 to form the [[Deprivique Union]]. They were invaded by their neighbour, [[Letoque]] to the north ~912 during the [[Letoque Conquests]]. While they were independant not much notable happened. ===== Jenois ===== Today [[Jenois]] is a disputed canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] (Officially it is part of the canton [[Letoque Jenois]]) It does not have a very unique culture at all, they are basically just people from the Chkyiv Mountains who emmigrated west and met the Letoque people. Something that is notable about them is that they were hit incredibly hard during the Lacertiliitis. Almost three quarters of their population died, half of the remaining emmigrated. The city of Jenois was almost empty by 1900. They repopulated at very impressive rates, and today the region has a population of 1.4 Million. ===== Letoque ===== Letoque is and always was the dominant power in the West. The people of Letoque (Letiquain)'s origins are unknown but we think they came from the same place as the Tornoblites. The capital of Letoque is [[Saint Vennes]]. It is the second most populous canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] but has no city over one million in population. Over it's history Letoque has had a very unique take on land, similar to that of the Russian Empire. This encouraged people to spread out which is why they are significantly less dense than the other cantons. Letoque is home to Jenois, a disputed canton in it's east. Letoque lost land and was eventually destroyed in the [[Letoque Wars]] which lasted from 1610 - 1670 and main belligrents were the Verst Empire and Grand Duchy of Burges (GDB seceded from the Chkyeb Uniate in 1620). ==== Summary ==== South Seseco has had a history of civil wars, disease and violent wars, however it has also had times of prosperity. The "Seseco Golden Age" was the time from 1723 - 1803 both started and ended by war, but during which there was no fighting and instead inventions, discoveries and industrialisation. == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the CoN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The CoN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame, which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the CoN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == For those of you who are too lazy to read: basically the three powers of the Centrius Basin were at war off and on for 73 (and a quarter!) years. This was the last major war of this type, and ended with the CoN regaining control of the islands (for now...). In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the CoN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in late 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the CoN capital, while the CoN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). After half a year of this, all sides realized that this type of warfare was entirely unsustainable, and called a year-and-a-half ceasefire to build up their resources. In 1304 AY, Marricopra launched an assault on Centrius, and held and defended the island for ten years. The CoN was too busy rebuilding its capital for what was at least the third time, and so it was no difficulty for Marricopra to hold back the meager Ashmanschkri army, until 1314, when the CoN rejoined the battle, heading straight for the Marricopran capital. It was the worst destruction the area had seen since the Flood. Marricopra immediately moved backwards to defend their capital, and while the CoN-Marricopra conflict went on in what remained of the Valley of Pryoriya, Ashmanschkra took the islands. Marricopra eventually pushed back the CoN to the far East. The loss from this set of fighting sparked another ceasefire, this one lasting four and a half years. This truce was broken by the CoN, who made their first stab at Ashmanschkra. This time it was successful, and they officially owned the Ashmanschrki army (Sevdrolet refused to join this war. This created a rift in the country, but more on this later) for a time. However, the Army of Ashmanschkra the Inevitable refused to be owned by any other faction, and rebelled against the CoN generals, which put a slight dent in the CoN army, but mostly distracted them from the Marricopra 1326 invasion of Centrius. Marricopra owned the islands for another 5 years, in which the CoN ''and'' Ashmanschkra banded together (ironically) to shove them out, but the Marricopran army was so large they couldn't manage this until 1332, and then Ashmanschkra turned on the CoN, and they fought it out for a few years while Marricopra went back to rebuilding and making poisons from the lizards in the only national reserve, which was overhunted anyway. The longest ceasefire was from 1336-1343, after which Marricopra and the CoN simultaneously pulled support from the Order (both North and South). Ashmanschkra admitted defeat and decided to focus on its quickly worsening relations with the pacifist Sevdrolet. Once the Order got involved, almost everything within view was burned to the ground, Centrius became so inhabitable everyone wondered why they still fought over it, and King Vilassey of Marricopra died in battle, leaving no heirs but his niece, Nichra, who became the first Queen of Marricopra. She had little to no popular support, as she was a woman, but proved to be a brilliant strategist and brought Marricopra to an almost decisive victory at the Fourty-Fifth Battle of Great Nephrops Island, until the southern Order turned on them and Marricopra surrendered and shut its doors to the world. The CoN claimed Centrius, renamed it the Grand Lobster Islands, and the Order went home. In 1374, the Treaty of the Lobsterites was signed (grudgingly) by CoN general Parsley and Queen Nichra, who was at the very least lauded for her dignity in the face of such a crushing defeat. == The Fireplague Epidemic: 1406-1455 == The disease technically began spreading in 1402, but given the slowness of travel at the time, it didn't spread beyond the Great and True (Northern) Order until 1406. The One and Only Everlasting Flame apparently had microbes in them. Harmful ones. And after centuries of humans tending to the fire and its odd microbiome, they latched onto the Arch-Priests, and spread throughout the Mocze Desert's tent cities. It began with the Chief Arch-Priest, Bengellus, burning with a 106 degree fever. The next day, all four other Arch-Priests woke up with the same fever, and Bengellus broke out in hives said to burn "as if the Eternal Fire had itself showered its infernal sparks upon the skin." On the third day, Bengellus began vomiting blood. On the fourth, he died. The four remaining Arch-Priests all exhibited the same symptoms, but not within the same time frame. Hibriz died the day the boils appeared; Porops had a fever for a week and then got the boils and coughed blood (and died) all on the same day; Caprokcil only ever had boils, which lasted a week and a half and then he died with no warning; and Nezrel had a fever for two days, boils for a week and a half, and eventually recovered with only some light scarring. From Nezrel and the other four's caretakers, the disease spread across Mocze without warning and with no cure. Only a quarter of the Northern Order survives, and they start lighting fires in what is by then proto-Gondolinius, which spreads the disease through the southern Order like wildfire, and across the ocean to Marricopra via merchant ships. Marricopra gladly passes this on to the CoN and Ashmansckra via Altar (which has begun to rebel). All the guards on Great Nephrops Island die from the disease, but no one dares go replace them for fear of becoming infected themselves. Centrius goes unclaimed - it is during this time that Sevdrolet goes and unofficially names it the Central Archipelago, and the name sticks. The disease is sent north to Odorslat, but very few die as the cold climate cannot sustain the archaea-bacteria [''and yes, I'm basing the vaguely scientific nature of fireplague off of my 7th grade science class'']. What little of the disease can spread makes its way to Del Sacarmo/KoPWARToD, where it eventually dies out but destabilizes the government enough for a complete overhaul ['''Asisi - this is your chance to step in and write your history]'''. After killing about a fifth of the Marricopran population (including the monarch, but they had a direct heir), more than half of Mocze, and a sixth of the rest of the world, the disease eventually dies down in 1455, as the population had naturally immunized itself, save for a few sparse outbreaks in remote areas. == The War of the Chicken Pie: 1507-1509 == In 1507 AY, what remained of the KoPWARToD (a small scrap of land on Seseco; now Hakha Rakhine) held the First (and only) International Baking Competition, inviting famous bakers worldwide. Among them were Gondolinius's Oragor Mentaylis, who owned the World's Largest Bakery (and nobody dared fight him on that); Sevdrolet's Jimalangang Kobrob; and the KoPWARToD's Happra Ling King, whose alliance was to the Rakhine rebellion brewing up north. Upon his winning the competition, the judges had no idea what country to award the top prize to, and so (as is, of course, usual) war was declared between the KoPWARToD and Hakha Rakhine. Marricopra threw themselves into the war, angry over the loss of Ashmanschkra and Centrius centuries before (and from getting last place in the competition), and led by Queen Ingelle "the Mad." They quickly drew out after the mysterious death of Ingelle and the ascension of King Billy Bob the Sixth, who gave the KoPWARToD several million dollars in reparations and an apology letter. What remained of the Northern Order finally wiped themselves out by throwing themselves and their disease-ridden bodies into the war. This ended with the Treaty of the Kitchen, the formation of Hakha Rakhine and the final dissolution of the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and the subsequent breakout of fireplague across Seseco. == The Second Fireplague Epidemic: 1509-1576 == The Seseco epidemic ended within a few months (see: the first fireplague epidemic and how that worked on Odorslat), but spread back south to Mocze via merchants from Santa Marino and then to Gondolinius, who sent diseased persons to Silencio and Marricopra out of spite (remember - they had their beginnings as religious fanatics). The two almost declared war in return, but then half of their armies fell ill and they decided otherwise. This epidemic went off and on for the next seventy years, with each breakout having epicenters in oddly diverse places, among them being the new Hakha Rakhine, the southernmost 2 blocks of a city in Odorslat, and Croissant Island. This epidemic ended with the Blizzard to End All Blizzards, which lasted exactly 3 days but was enough to kill the archaea-bacteria worldwide. The disease was confined to the We Hate Fire Quarantine Hospital, which was set up in the Mocze desert over the original site of the fire to ensure no one lighted it again. I would say there was peace from here on out, but there isn't, because this was when I remembered that tectonic plates were a thing. == The Split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet: 1599 and a couple years after that == The large, desert-y island of Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet, named after the two people groups that lived there, was situated on a fault line that became more precarious with each year after the Flood, until it finally broke apart during an earthquake and tsunami just south of the Central Archipelago, creating an event known as the Mini-Flood. The country officially became two (it had been threatening to become so for a while), with Ashmanschkra becoming the war peoples of the west, eagerly helping Altar break from Marricopra, though the Altarians themselves didn't care too much as Marricopra provided financial support. Sevdrolet was a nation of pacifists, and remained strictly neutral in all the Central Basin conflicts, though it formed close ties with the CoN. They became known for their art, and hated being invaded. However, seeing as they had no army, this happened over and over despite their declaring independence and creating more and more statues of famous Sevdroletis, which no one cared to take down as they actually looked quite good. The world began to be split over "do you support Ashmanschkra or Sevdrolet?" but as neither nation had the patience to fight the other, it all came to naught and everyone stopped caring, because the islands had moved into such a location to be perfect for beach vacations and millions flooded there. == The Economic Collapse of 1684 == After a little less than a century of relative-but-not-really peace, war in Skelmrelm completely demolished the economy of said country, bringing upon general economic collapse worldwide, as just about everyone depended on Skelmrelm for one reason or another. Does this name sound unfamiliar? Odorslat had, during this time, undergone yet another civil war that led to its renaming. The citizens were relieved that they were at least not called Knitted-Socks-ians. Skelmrelm during this time had moved past Marricopra in terms of GDP (and, in some areas, development) and become the new world epicenter, especially for the north. Gondolinius still considered Marricopra their main provider, however, and Silencio found the Kingdom easier to access. However, whatever petty disputes they had became unimportant in the face of total annihilation of all they'd worked for. However, with the discovery of oil deposits on Sevdrolet, the world economy slowly rebuilt as nations focused southward, and then back North after the Skelmrelm war ended. By 1690, the world economy had generally stabilized. == The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat == This is why the mountains have two main ranges. However, though the epicenter of this was in the mountains, aftershocks were so strong in the capital (on that bay just south of them) that it was completely demolished. This created a political split over who should rule where and how they should rebuild, and effectively ended the Republic of Odorslat as it was known. War broke out over the ruins of Odorslat-Priyoria, ending with the Treaty of What's Left of Priyoriya that split the country in four: Skelmrelm, the Republic of Saldon, the Kingdom of the Remnant, and the Spire Realm. The Kingdom of the Remnant was basically a puppet state of both Saldon and Skelmrelm, but at different times, seeing as it was located on the ruins of Priyoriya and only populated by a few thousand, mostly scholars and archaeologists there to study and preserve what was left of the city. Odorslat once again was no longer a world power, and Silencio began to compete with Marricopra for the title of highest GDP, until the 1794 Marricopran Revolution (see: [[The We're Sick of King Salamandario Revolution]]), after which the country turned inward to sort out its own problems. By 1799, the world was caught in a precarious balance between Skelmrelm and Silencio, as they had no access to Marricopra's resources (except for Sevdrolet, which the Kingdom just couldn't ignore). This resulted in a slight dip in the economy ~1800, but it eventually stabilized as Silencio began to compensate, and finally Marricopra (which had at last rid itself of Altar) reentered the world, about half the size it had been before. == Lacertiliitis: 1837-1850 == The disease began among the thousands of lizard species found at Great Lacertilia National Park. Still no one knows exactly which species spread it to humans, but the story goes like this: shopowner Tylline Tortatolus and his family visited the park in Firbicus 1837, and three weeks after returning, his wife died. Within the next two days, both of his children complained of pain in their mouth, throat, and stomach. Two days later, they died. Tylline lasted long enough to tell his neighbors of the strange occurrence, and then died in the home of musician Vollus Senddarry. The disease spread from the Senddarry household across the small town of Markpinne. The disease made it via caravan to the capital, and spread quickly through the population there. Then-Queen Nichra III soon realized what was happening and enforced a quarantine in the northeast part of the city, but not before boats carrying timber - the country's main resource - had reached Saldon, Gondolinius, and Oralotzo, spreading the disease there too. Soon testing was performed in the King Jimmy Central Hospital, and it was found that the disease turned one's saliva to hydrochloric acid. Scientists worldwide set to work creating a vaccine, but the most they could do was prevent death, though not entirely. Certain anomalies were found in the poorer parts of the city, where most of the population had already gone through a bout of Lizard Pox, a non-fatal disease spread by the Greeg lizard. Those who had already had the Pox were naturally immune to the disease - named Lacertiliitis after the park where it originated - and so many were hired on as doctors or even merely recipients of tests. They were paid by the government for their trouble, and often hired and paid ridiculous amounts of money to take over positions unstaffed because of the epidemic. Throughout the rest of the world scientists worked aggressively on creating a vaccine, or, in the case of Ashmanschkra, spreading Lizard Pox to as many citizens as possible. Because of this, most of the population had a natural immunity to Lacertiliitis by 1848. It is considered one of the most effective public health initiatives to date. Saldon and Skelmrelm teamed up to create a semi-effective vaccine, which forced out the virus by the second day, often leaving people on the brink of death but at least alive. They took to spreading numbing shots among their population, which at least prevented the pain caused from the acidic saliva. The vaccine was spread with the Kingdom of the Remnant, which consented to being absorbed into Skelmrelm, but the Spire Realm told themselves they could "handle this." They were all dead in three weeks. Gondolinius learned to work with the disease, and the hot climate created its first mutation, spread by melted cells. This resulted in a burning sensation throughout the body, which the Southern Order (now a strong theo-political presence in the area) promoted as a religious experience, not knowing how deadly the disease was. Lacertiliitis and the "Fire of the Heavens" mutation spread even more rapidly throughout Gondolinius and eventually to the abandoned We Hate Fire Hospital, which still had the remains of fireplague all over it. The Imperialist Party of Gondolinius set up an initiative to promote the quarantining of sick individuals. The Southern Order fought back against this relentlessly, creating a split in the general population over whether or not the "Fire of the Heavens" phenomena was a religious experience or a serious medical condition. Those who considered it religious were eventually put in a mental hospital during the Second Apocalypse, and the rest ran away to the desert. That aside, the disease died out in the urban parts of Gondolinius, but thrived in the rural areas around the Fireplague hospital, which created it's own problem, but more on that later... In the CoN, where the disease was spread from Marricopra via Sevdrolet and the oilfield workers there, the disease also mutated, creating something similar to the "Fire of the Heavens" bacteria, but instead causing only the skin to burn and dry out. This version wasn't completely fatal, even though Lizard Pox wasn't prevalent among the CoN. It was thought that the melting of the cells in the unceasing heat lessened the effects, but the disease was eradicated in 1845 due to a spike in heat and a drought, and so was never able to be studied. By 1850, the disease had calmed down worldwide (except for Gondolinius, but that's next). == Lacertiliitis-Fireplague Meltdown: 1895-1901 == The worst pandemic known to mankind. It began in what was renamed the Great Imperial Quarantine Hospital in central Gondolinius (the site has once again been abandoned, and is no longer owned by the country), where the archaea-bacteria known as fireplague had lain dormant on all the abandoned tools, beds, and especially in the indent in the floor that had once been the One and Only Everlasting Flame. As Lacertiliitis patients flooded in, using all the infected equipment and lying in the fireplague-infested beds, the two diseases began to combine, resulting in the first case of what was known, rather creatively, as "Lacertiliitis-fireplague." The first recorded patient was Appap Nipzap, a dockworker, of southern Gondolinius. He first reported a 106-degree fever - the universal signal of fireplague - and the next day his skin turned red, and he was said to claim it "burned worse than the Fire of the Heavens" (a disease he had, at first, survived). Three days after first reporting a fever, the red receded, turning into small boils that bled. After five days he appeared to be recovering, until he reported the signifying mouth-esophagus-stomach pain that came with Lacertiliitis. After a week, he finally coughed up blood and died. The new mutation spread throughout the hospital faster than even the Fire of the Heavens, apparently being more contagious than any previous strain (spread via touch), leaving only two survivors - very pregnant women - who had a strange natural immunity. Lacertiliitis-fireplague spread slowly south and then trickled through the poorer, non-immune southern Gondolinius population. Before the Gondolinian government could figure out what was happening, thousands of carriers, sick, and healthy alike had boarded boats to Gusmoas and Oralotzo, one of the world's least populated areas. This mass exodus became the downfall of Imperial Gondolinius, but not quite yet. The sick aboard the Gusmoas-bound boats all died on the way, and only four remained and made it to land. They set fire to the boats they came on and as they incorporated themselves into the Silencian population, millions more died. The several dozens remaining declared themselves Gods and fled into the mountains, only to be discovered nearly a century later by the Orsk Federation. Silencio collapsed, utterly and completely, and the land became inhabitable, overrun by plants, weeds, and rabid animals. On Del Sacarmo, which was still dry and dusty from the sandstorms that plagued them almost a thousand years ago, received the refugees with open arms, only to kill three-quarters of the population. Only those in the North survived, quarantining themselves. The Orsk Federation received the disease via shipments from Santa Marino, and only went into lockdown after half of the population had been killed. Sometime during this the disease makes its way to Marricopra, where it kills King Jimmy the Nineteenth (and last), sending the Kingdom into upheaval. By 1896 the whole world is in lockdown, save for Odorslat, which can't sustain itself very well and goes to war. Saldon and Skelmrelm begin a decades-long war over the general control of Odorslat, which is slowly starving to death. Skelmrelm decides to send all of its scientists to the Central Archipelago, and other countries follow suit. The Shrine of the Great Star Lobster becomes a giant lab, with everyone working according to their own time zone schedule so work is always being done. In 1897 a vaccine is created by a team of Skelmish, Altarian, and Sevdroleti scientists. By 1901, the vaccine is distributed worldwide and rebuilding begins. Until the Second End of the World comes. == The Second Apocalypse: 1906 == For a land inhabited by a religious group whose only claim to fame was that they started fires incessantly, there was only one Fire War. There were 12 - exactly twelve, and three were children - members of the Northern Order left. They lived a little North of the We Hate Fire Hospital, in tents, and obsessively lit up random patches of desert. Every year they got more and more mad at the financial support lent to the Southern Order and those who defected from the North, until they were all positively boiling with anger and in 1906 set fire to the capital of Gondolinius. Gondolinius assumed it was Marricopra - as they were prone to do, after the Seventy-Three-and-A-Half-Years War - and declared war on the very weakened kingdom. And then it happened. The fires, as it turned out, were ''still'' full of fireplague - somehow - and within a week both Gondolinius and Marricopra had a full-fledged outbreak on their hands. Gondolinius gave Marricopra a half-hearted apology and then returned to declare war on the Northern Order. But there were only 12 in the Order, and Gondolinius was still angry and so turned on itself and the Southern Order allies in Marricopra. So began the Fire Wars, with the Southern Order lighting anything aflame that stood in their path. At one point, they appeared to be gaining the upper hand, but then half of them came down with the newest Lacertiliitis-fireplague mutation. Though much of the world was vaccinated, the vaccine only worked on the 1895 strain, and those who had had Lizard Pox previously only had a 3-in-5 chance of recovery. From Marricopra the new strain spread to Altar, then to Ashmanschkra. From Gondolinius it went to Gusmoas, Santa Marino, and then to Seseco. Nowhere was safe anymore: the heat couldn't melt the diseased cells, and the cold couldn't kill them. The Fire Wars became an absolute farce, with no real end to them after the Gondolinian Emperor died of the plague. The Order was considered once and for all extinct, though it was rumored that members were still strewn worldwide, lighting fires in secret. Altar was so crippled by the plague and war effort that they consented to being owned by Ashmanschkra for a time. However, the Ashmanschkran government finally collapsed, for once and for all, ruined by internal fighting and the overabundance of Greeg lizards. Sevdrolet was finally overrun by the CoN, but then they all got sick. Sevdrolet had no official government after they all died of the plague, and the CoN retreated into itself, eventually being renamed the HPN. The Odorslatian governments survived; however, both were severely weakened and broke out into a few civil wars that all ended in painful deaths for all parties involved. Gusmoas continued to have no contact with the outside world, becoming increasingly more superstitious and oddly religious, founding the Church of the Party People in the Trees. The Basilica of the Treehouse was built on the ruins of the Palace of Tressene. The mountain people built a massive temple to their founders, which is actually quite beautiful - adorned with intricate carvings, reflecting pools, and floating candles, etc - that still stands today. They call it the First Wonder of the Modern World, and honestly, who can dispute that? Seseco had... problems (see: South Seseco). Oralotzo was almost completely wiped out, but a few thousand survived. They decided to work on re-fertilizing their soil, and only had contact with Skelmrelm. And the Kingdom of Marricopra, ruled by King Bantramus II, finally collapsed. With that ended the world's Second Age, and in 1920, Skelmrelm declared that the Second Apocalypse was over. So began the Third Age. 36f7bbdae4822265d840abc23914672cec4a916d 303 302 2023-10-01T19:24:37Z Asisi Games Co2 14 wikitext text/x-wiki ''This articles has an issue: ENCYCLOPEDIC TONE and LACK OF OUTSIDE LINKS. Please improve the article for this.'' They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya. Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate the Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and while Eddenarah had the upper hand at first, the Lobsterites gradually improved. When they unified under the name Children of Nephrops then they routed Eddenarah off of the islands. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == ''Main Article: [[Dark Ages]]'' Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish were the Children of Nephrops (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Children of Nephrops (CoN) just to say "HA!" The CoN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The CoN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the CoN's capital. The CoN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The CoN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The CoN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the CoN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the CoN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the CoN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the CoN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the CoN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. South Seseco is also a place of many inventions, the [[Traffic Signal]] (1872, [[Saint Vennes]], [[Deprivique]]), [[Printing Press]] (1450, [[Burges]], [[Grand Duchy of Burges]]) and [[Controlled Access Motorway]] (1913, [[Kvev]], [[Tornobyl]]) were all invented here. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chkyeb]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. The two sides united in 1550 to form the Chkyeb Uniate. Expansion continued eastward. In 1620 a civil war began. ==== The Jenois War of 1620 ==== Jenois was an exclave of people who remained in the Mountain Culture. They called themselves Kruchtevs (a common term used to refer to them in a negative light was "Crookies") and their capital was [[Kauter]]. [[Jenois|Jenois City]], as we know it today was an orsk catholic outpost that spoke Letique. The Kruchtevs were under severe penal laws, below is a basic rundown: * Crookies may not buy land unless the land had been owned by another Crookie. * Crookies may not go to school. * Crookies could not practice religion. * Crookies may only speak Letique. * Crookies may not possess anything that could be used to defend themselves * A maximum of one shop could be opened by a Crookie in any one town. * Crookies could only shop at places owned by Crookies. * Crookies could not ride carriages or own horses. * So on, So forth The first "Crookie Uprising" was actually in 1590 but it failed miserably and half of [[Kauter]] was burned to the ground. In 1620, with help from the [[Tornobyl Arms Association]] they were able to start a revolution in Kauter. The surrounding area was quickly captured and the [[Kruchtev Union]] was declared. They were followed by Deprivique, a region also descriminated against because of their Vizantian Catholic faith. Together the two new nations took over everything east of the Chkyiv Mountains. At home, the Uniate was struggling to keep the peace as a new disease called "Crookpox" (named so because many believed it was a consequence of discriminating against the Kruchtevs) was running rampant throughout the country. The [[Kruchtev Union]], [[Deprivique Republic]] and [[Letoque State]] (Puppet of Deprivique) were given fully recognised independance. ==== Reunited ==== In 1720, Letoque joined Deprivique to create the [[Holy Vizantian Union]]. The [[Kruchtev Union]] united with the [[City State of Tornve]] to create the [[New Kruchtev State]]. In 1722 the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] reunited with the [[Verst Empire]] and in 1723 a war began. ==== War of Letoque (1723 - 1770) ==== On the 3rd September 1723 the 2nd Chkyeb Union declared war on the [[Holy Vizantian Union]] and the [[New Kruchtev State]]. At first, their attack was strong, they took over Tornve and many mountanious regions. But then winter hit. The counteroffensive was described by a verst survivor as "Fast and sharp". They mainly attacked at nigh tand in small numbers. The Verst army was pushed all the way back to Verst. By then Tornobyl joined the war and more reinforcements were coming from allied nations. The war went on like this for 47 years. Then they decided they would better just unite, lest lose anymore lives. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the east (1530): The wast was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Let's start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting each other. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. Deprivique natives originated from somewhere along the [[Vizantus Strait]]. They left their homeland of Dovranland due to a war with some neighboring power. We don't know how long ago this was, but best historians estimate that it was during the Post Flood era. [[File:0e5138d4-7ec9-4f38-9982-3b7a8d3af6d5.jpg|center|thumb|Mural in Petersport depicting the natives of Deprivique leaving their homeland circa 1198]]Deprivique was two kingdoms, the Grand Duchy of Hallem and the Kingdom of Leynes (now Petersport). They united in 748 to form the [[Deprivique Union]]. They were invaded by their neighbour, [[Letoque]] to the north ~912 during the [[Letoque Conquests]]. While they were independant not much notable happened. ===== Jenois ===== Today [[Jenois]] is a disputed canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] (Officially it is part of the canton [[Letoque Jenois]]) It does not have a very unique culture at all, they are basically just people from the Chkyiv Mountains who emmigrated west and met the Letoque people. Something that is notable about them is that they were hit incredibly hard during the Lacertiliitis. Almost three quarters of their population died, half of the remaining emmigrated. The city of Jenois was almost empty by 1900. They repopulated at very impressive rates, and today the region has a population of 1.4 Million. ===== Letoque ===== Letoque is and always was the dominant power in the West. The people of Letoque (Letiquain)'s origins are unknown but we think they came from the same place as the Tornoblites. The capital of Letoque is [[Saint Vennes]]. It is the second most populous canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] but has no city over one million in population. Over it's history Letoque has had a very unique take on land, similar to that of the Russian Empire. This encouraged people to spread out which is why they are significantly less dense than the other cantons. Letoque is home to Jenois, a disputed canton in it's east. Letoque lost land and was eventually destroyed in the [[Letoque Wars]] which lasted from 1610 - 1670 and main belligrents were the Verst Empire and Grand Duchy of Burges (GDB seceded from the Chkyeb Uniate in 1620). ==== Summary ==== South Seseco has had a history of civil wars, disease and violent wars, however it has also had times of prosperity. The "Seseco Golden Age" was the time from 1723 - 1803 both started and ended by war, but during which there was no fighting and instead inventions, discoveries and industrialisation. == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the CoN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The CoN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame, which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the CoN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == For those of you who are too lazy to read: basically the three powers of the Centrius Basin were at war off and on for 73 (and a quarter!) years. This was the last major war of this type, and ended with the CoN regaining control of the islands (for now...). In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the CoN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in late 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the CoN capital, while the CoN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). After half a year of this, all sides realized that this type of warfare was entirely unsustainable, and called a year-and-a-half ceasefire to build up their resources. In 1304 AY, Marricopra launched an assault on Centrius, and held and defended the island for ten years. The CoN was too busy rebuilding its capital for what was at least the third time, and so it was no difficulty for Marricopra to hold back the meager Ashmanschkri army, until 1314, when the CoN rejoined the battle, heading straight for the Marricopran capital. It was the worst destruction the area had seen since the Flood. Marricopra immediately moved backwards to defend their capital, and while the CoN-Marricopra conflict went on in what remained of the Valley of Pryoriya, Ashmanschkra took the islands. Marricopra eventually pushed back the CoN to the far East. The loss from this set of fighting sparked another ceasefire, this one lasting four and a half years. This truce was broken by the CoN, who made their first stab at Ashmanschkra. This time it was successful, and they officially owned the Ashmanschrki army (Sevdrolet refused to join this war. This created a rift in the country, but more on this later) for a time. However, the Army of Ashmanschkra the Inevitable refused to be owned by any other faction, and rebelled against the CoN generals, which put a slight dent in the CoN army, but mostly distracted them from the Marricopra 1326 invasion of Centrius. Marricopra owned the islands for another 5 years, in which the CoN ''and'' Ashmanschkra banded together (ironically) to shove them out, but the Marricopran army was so large they couldn't manage this until 1332, and then Ashmanschkra turned on the CoN, and they fought it out for a few years while Marricopra went back to rebuilding and making poisons from the lizards in the only national reserve, which was overhunted anyway. The longest ceasefire was from 1336-1343, after which Marricopra and the CoN simultaneously pulled support from the Order (both North and South). Ashmanschkra admitted defeat and decided to focus on its quickly worsening relations with the pacifist Sevdrolet. Once the Order got involved, almost everything within view was burned to the ground, Centrius became so inhabitable everyone wondered why they still fought over it, and King Vilassey of Marricopra died in battle, leaving no heirs but his niece, Nichra, who became the first Queen of Marricopra. She had little to no popular support, as she was a woman, but proved to be a brilliant strategist and brought Marricopra to an almost decisive victory at the Fourty-Fifth Battle of Great Nephrops Island, until the southern Order turned on them and Marricopra surrendered and shut its doors to the world. The CoN claimed Centrius, renamed it the Grand Lobster Islands, and the Order went home. In 1374, the Treaty of the Lobsterites was signed (grudgingly) by CoN general Parsley and Queen Nichra, who was at the very least lauded for her dignity in the face of such a crushing defeat. == The Fireplague Epidemic: 1406-1455 == The disease technically began spreading in 1402, but given the slowness of travel at the time, it didn't spread beyond the Great and True (Northern) Order until 1406. The One and Only Everlasting Flame apparently had microbes in them. Harmful ones. And after centuries of humans tending to the fire and its odd microbiome, they latched onto the Arch-Priests, and spread throughout the Mocze Desert's tent cities. It began with the Chief Arch-Priest, Bengellus, burning with a 106 degree fever. The next day, all four other Arch-Priests woke up with the same fever, and Bengellus broke out in hives said to burn "as if the Eternal Fire had itself showered its infernal sparks upon the skin." On the third day, Bengellus began vomiting blood. On the fourth, he died. The four remaining Arch-Priests all exhibited the same symptoms, but not within the same time frame. Hibriz died the day the boils appeared; Porops had a fever for a week and then got the boils and coughed blood (and died) all on the same day; Caprokcil only ever had boils, which lasted a week and a half and then he died with no warning; and Nezrel had a fever for two days, boils for a week and a half, and eventually recovered with only some light scarring. From Nezrel and the other four's caretakers, the disease spread across Mocze without warning and with no cure. Only a quarter of the Northern Order survives, and they start lighting fires in what is by then proto-Gondolinius, which spreads the disease through the southern Order like wildfire, and across the ocean to Marricopra via merchant ships. Marricopra gladly passes this on to the CoN and Ashmansckra via Altar (which has begun to rebel). All the guards on Great Nephrops Island die from the disease, but no one dares go replace them for fear of becoming infected themselves. Centrius goes unclaimed - it is during this time that Sevdrolet goes and unofficially names it the Central Archipelago, and the name sticks. The disease is sent north to Odorslat, but very few die as the cold climate cannot sustain the archaea-bacteria [''and yes, I'm basing the vaguely scientific nature of fireplague off of my 7th grade science class'']. What little of the disease can spread makes its way to Del Sacarmo/KoPWARToD, where it eventually dies out but destabilizes the government enough for a complete overhaul ['''Asisi - this is your chance to step in and write your history]'''. After killing about a fifth of the Marricopran population (including the monarch, but they had a direct heir), more than half of Mocze, and a sixth of the rest of the world, the disease eventually dies down in 1455, as the population had naturally immunized itself, save for a few sparse outbreaks in remote areas. == The War of the Chicken Pie: 1507-1509 == In 1507 AY, what remained of the KoPWARToD (a small scrap of land on Seseco; now Hakha Rakhine) held the First (and only) International Baking Competition, inviting famous bakers worldwide. Among them were Gondolinius's Oragor Mentaylis, who owned the World's Largest Bakery (and nobody dared fight him on that); Sevdrolet's Jimalangang Kobrob; and the KoPWARToD's Happra Ling King, whose alliance was to the Rakhine rebellion brewing up north. Upon his winning the competition, the judges had no idea what country to award the top prize to, and so (as is, of course, usual) war was declared between the KoPWARToD and Hakha Rakhine. Marricopra threw themselves into the war, angry over the loss of Ashmanschkra and Centrius centuries before (and from getting last place in the competition), and led by Queen Ingelle "the Mad." They quickly drew out after the mysterious death of Ingelle and the ascension of King Billy Bob the Sixth, who gave the KoPWARToD several million dollars in reparations and an apology letter. What remained of the Northern Order finally wiped themselves out by throwing themselves and their disease-ridden bodies into the war. This ended with the Treaty of the Kitchen, the formation of Hakha Rakhine and the final dissolution of the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and the subsequent breakout of fireplague across Seseco. == The Second Fireplague Epidemic: 1509-1576 == The Seseco epidemic ended within a few months (see: the first fireplague epidemic and how that worked on Odorslat), but spread back south to Mocze via merchants from Santa Marino and then to Gondolinius, who sent diseased persons to Silencio and Marricopra out of spite (remember - they had their beginnings as religious fanatics). The two almost declared war in return, but then half of their armies fell ill and they decided otherwise. This epidemic went off and on for the next seventy years, with each breakout having epicenters in oddly diverse places, among them being the new Hakha Rakhine, the southernmost 2 blocks of a city in Odorslat, and Croissant Island. This epidemic ended with the Blizzard to End All Blizzards, which lasted exactly 3 days but was enough to kill the archaea-bacteria worldwide. The disease was confined to the We Hate Fire Quarantine Hospital, which was set up in the Mocze desert over the original site of the fire to ensure no one lighted it again. I would say there was peace from here on out, but there isn't, because this was when I remembered that tectonic plates were a thing. == The Split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet: 1599 and a couple years after that == The large, desert-y island of Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet, named after the two people groups that lived there, was situated on a fault line that became more precarious with each year after the Flood, until it finally broke apart during an earthquake and tsunami just south of the Central Archipelago, creating an event known as the Mini-Flood. The country officially became two (it had been threatening to become so for a while), with Ashmanschkra becoming the war peoples of the west, eagerly helping Altar break from Marricopra, though the Altarians themselves didn't care too much as Marricopra provided financial support. Sevdrolet was a nation of pacifists, and remained strictly neutral in all the Central Basin conflicts, though it formed close ties with the CoN. They became known for their art, and hated being invaded. However, seeing as they had no army, this happened over and over despite their declaring independence and creating more and more statues of famous Sevdroletis, which no one cared to take down as they actually looked quite good. The world began to be split over "do you support Ashmanschkra or Sevdrolet?" but as neither nation had the patience to fight the other, it all came to naught and everyone stopped caring, because the islands had moved into such a location to be perfect for beach vacations and millions flooded there. == The Economic Collapse of 1684 == After a little less than a century of relative-but-not-really peace, war in Skelmrelm completely demolished the economy of said country, bringing upon general economic collapse worldwide, as just about everyone depended on Skelmrelm for one reason or another. Does this name sound unfamiliar? Odorslat had, during this time, undergone yet another civil war that led to its renaming. The citizens were relieved that they were at least not called Knitted-Socks-ians. Skelmrelm during this time had moved past Marricopra in terms of GDP (and, in some areas, development) and become the new world epicenter, especially for the north. Gondolinius still considered Marricopra their main provider, however, and Silencio found the Kingdom easier to access. However, whatever petty disputes they had became unimportant in the face of total annihilation of all they'd worked for. However, with the discovery of oil deposits on Sevdrolet, the world economy slowly rebuilt as nations focused southward, and then back North after the Skelmrelm war ended. By 1690, the world economy had generally stabilized. == The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat == This is why the mountains have two main ranges. However, though the epicenter of this was in the mountains, aftershocks were so strong in the capital (on that bay just south of them) that it was completely demolished. This created a political split over who should rule where and how they should rebuild, and effectively ended the Republic of Odorslat as it was known. War broke out over the ruins of Odorslat-Priyoria, ending with the Treaty of What's Left of Priyoriya that split the country in four: Skelmrelm, the Republic of Saldon, the Kingdom of the Remnant, and the Spire Realm. The Kingdom of the Remnant was basically a puppet state of both Saldon and Skelmrelm, but at different times, seeing as it was located on the ruins of Priyoriya and only populated by a few thousand, mostly scholars and archaeologists there to study and preserve what was left of the city. Odorslat once again was no longer a world power, and Silencio began to compete with Marricopra for the title of highest GDP, until the 1794 Marricopran Revolution (see: [[The We're Sick of King Salamandario Revolution]]), after which the country turned inward to sort out its own problems. By 1799, the world was caught in a precarious balance between Skelmrelm and Silencio, as they had no access to Marricopra's resources (except for Sevdrolet, which the Kingdom just couldn't ignore). This resulted in a slight dip in the economy ~1800, but it eventually stabilized as Silencio began to compensate, and finally Marricopra (which had at last rid itself of Altar) reentered the world, about half the size it had been before. == Lacertiliitis: 1837-1850 == The disease began among the thousands of lizard species found at Great Lacertilia National Park. Still no one knows exactly which species spread it to humans, but the story goes like this: shopowner Tylline Tortatolus and his family visited the park in Firbicus 1837, and three weeks after returning, his wife died. Within the next two days, both of his children complained of pain in their mouth, throat, and stomach. Two days later, they died. Tylline lasted long enough to tell his neighbors of the strange occurrence, and then died in the home of musician Vollus Senddarry. The disease spread from the Senddarry household across the small town of Markpinne. The disease made it via caravan to the capital, and spread quickly through the population there. Then-Queen Nichra III soon realized what was happening and enforced a quarantine in the northeast part of the city, but not before boats carrying timber - the country's main resource - had reached Saldon, Gondolinius, and Oralotzo, spreading the disease there too. Soon testing was performed in the King Jimmy Central Hospital, and it was found that the disease turned one's saliva to hydrochloric acid. Scientists worldwide set to work creating a vaccine, but the most they could do was prevent death, though not entirely. Certain anomalies were found in the poorer parts of the city, where most of the population had already gone through a bout of Lizard Pox, a non-fatal disease spread by the Greeg lizard. Those who had already had the Pox were naturally immune to the disease - named Lacertiliitis after the park where it originated - and so many were hired on as doctors or even merely recipients of tests. They were paid by the government for their trouble, and often hired and paid ridiculous amounts of money to take over positions unstaffed because of the epidemic. Throughout the rest of the world scientists worked aggressively on creating a vaccine, or, in the case of Ashmanschkra, spreading Lizard Pox to as many citizens as possible. Because of this, most of the population had a natural immunity to Lacertiliitis by 1848. It is considered one of the most effective public health initiatives to date. Saldon and Skelmrelm teamed up to create a semi-effective vaccine, which forced out the virus by the second day, often leaving people on the brink of death but at least alive. They took to spreading numbing shots among their population, which at least prevented the pain caused from the acidic saliva. The vaccine was spread with the Kingdom of the Remnant, which consented to being absorbed into Skelmrelm, but the Spire Realm told themselves they could "handle this." They were all dead in three weeks. Gondolinius learned to work with the disease, and the hot climate created its first mutation, spread by melted cells. This resulted in a burning sensation throughout the body, which the Southern Order (now a strong theo-political presence in the area) promoted as a religious experience, not knowing how deadly the disease was. Lacertiliitis and the "Fire of the Heavens" mutation spread even more rapidly throughout Gondolinius and eventually to the abandoned We Hate Fire Hospital, which still had the remains of fireplague all over it. The Imperialist Party of Gondolinius set up an initiative to promote the quarantining of sick individuals. The Southern Order fought back against this relentlessly, creating a split in the general population over whether or not the "Fire of the Heavens" phenomena was a religious experience or a serious medical condition. Those who considered it religious were eventually put in a mental hospital during the Second Apocalypse, and the rest ran away to the desert. That aside, the disease died out in the urban parts of Gondolinius, but thrived in the rural areas around the Fireplague hospital, which created it's own problem, but more on that later... In the CoN, where the disease was spread from Marricopra via Sevdrolet and the oilfield workers there, the disease also mutated, creating something similar to the "Fire of the Heavens" bacteria, but instead causing only the skin to burn and dry out. This version wasn't completely fatal, even though Lizard Pox wasn't prevalent among the CoN. It was thought that the melting of the cells in the unceasing heat lessened the effects, but the disease was eradicated in 1845 due to a spike in heat and a drought, and so was never able to be studied. By 1850, the disease had calmed down worldwide (except for Gondolinius, but that's next). == Lacertiliitis-Fireplague Meltdown: 1895-1901 == The worst pandemic known to mankind. It began in what was renamed the Great Imperial Quarantine Hospital in central Gondolinius (the site has once again been abandoned, and is no longer owned by the country), where the archaea-bacteria known as fireplague had lain dormant on all the abandoned tools, beds, and especially in the indent in the floor that had once been the One and Only Everlasting Flame. As Lacertiliitis patients flooded in, using all the infected equipment and lying in the fireplague-infested beds, the two diseases began to combine, resulting in the first case of what was known, rather creatively, as "Lacertiliitis-fireplague." The first recorded patient was Appap Nipzap, a dockworker, of southern Gondolinius. He first reported a 106-degree fever - the universal signal of fireplague - and the next day his skin turned red, and he was said to claim it "burned worse than the Fire of the Heavens" (a disease he had, at first, survived). Three days after first reporting a fever, the red receded, turning into small boils that bled. After five days he appeared to be recovering, until he reported the signifying mouth-esophagus-stomach pain that came with Lacertiliitis. After a week, he finally coughed up blood and died. The new mutation spread throughout the hospital faster than even the Fire of the Heavens, apparently being more contagious than any previous strain (spread via touch), leaving only two survivors - very pregnant women - who had a strange natural immunity. Lacertiliitis-fireplague spread slowly south and then trickled through the poorer, non-immune southern Gondolinius population. Before the Gondolinian government could figure out what was happening, thousands of carriers, sick, and healthy alike had boarded boats to Gusmoas and Oralotzo, one of the world's least populated areas. This mass exodus became the downfall of Imperial Gondolinius, but not quite yet. The sick aboard the Gusmoas-bound boats all died on the way, and only four remained and made it to land. They set fire to the boats they came on and as they incorporated themselves into the Silencian population, millions more died. The several dozens remaining declared themselves Gods and fled into the mountains, only to be discovered nearly a century later by the Orsk Federation. Silencio collapsed, utterly and completely, and the land became inhabitable, overrun by plants, weeds, and rabid animals. On Del Sacarmo, which was still dry and dusty from the sandstorms that plagued them almost a thousand years ago, received the refugees with open arms, only to kill three-quarters of the population. Only those in the North survived, quarantining themselves. The Orsk Federation received the disease via shipments from Santa Marino, and only went into lockdown after half of the population had been killed. Sometime during this the disease makes its way to Marricopra, where it kills King Jimmy the Nineteenth (and last), sending the Kingdom into upheaval. By 1896 the whole world is in lockdown, save for Odorslat, which can't sustain itself very well and goes to war. Saldon and Skelmrelm begin a decades-long war over the general control of Odorslat, which is slowly starving to death. Skelmrelm decides to send all of its scientists to the Central Archipelago, and other countries follow suit. The Shrine of the Great Star Lobster becomes a giant lab, with everyone working according to their own time zone schedule so work is always being done. In 1897 a vaccine is created by a team of Skelmish, Altarian, and Sevdroleti scientists. By 1901, the vaccine is distributed worldwide and rebuilding begins. Until the Second End of the World comes. == The Second Apocalypse: 1906 == For a land inhabited by a religious group whose only claim to fame was that they started fires incessantly, there was only one Fire War. There were 12 - exactly twelve, and three were children - members of the Northern Order left. They lived a little North of the We Hate Fire Hospital, in tents, and obsessively lit up random patches of desert. Every year they got more and more mad at the financial support lent to the Southern Order and those who defected from the North, until they were all positively boiling with anger and in 1906 set fire to the capital of Gondolinius. Gondolinius assumed it was Marricopra - as they were prone to do, after the Seventy-Three-and-A-Half-Years War - and declared war on the very weakened kingdom. And then it happened. The fires, as it turned out, were ''still'' full of fireplague - somehow - and within a week both Gondolinius and Marricopra had a full-fledged outbreak on their hands. Gondolinius gave Marricopra a half-hearted apology and then returned to declare war on the Northern Order. But there were only 12 in the Order, and Gondolinius was still angry and so turned on itself and the Southern Order allies in Marricopra. So began the Fire Wars, with the Southern Order lighting anything aflame that stood in their path. At one point, they appeared to be gaining the upper hand, but then half of them came down with the newest Lacertiliitis-fireplague mutation. Though much of the world was vaccinated, the vaccine only worked on the 1895 strain, and those who had had Lizard Pox previously only had a 3-in-5 chance of recovery. From Marricopra the new strain spread to Altar, then to Ashmanschkra. From Gondolinius it went to Gusmoas, Santa Marino, and then to Seseco. Nowhere was safe anymore: the heat couldn't melt the diseased cells, and the cold couldn't kill them. The Fire Wars became an absolute farce, with no real end to them after the Gondolinian Emperor died of the plague. The Order was considered once and for all extinct, though it was rumored that members were still strewn worldwide, lighting fires in secret. Altar was so crippled by the plague and war effort that they consented to being owned by Ashmanschkra for a time. However, the Ashmanschkran government finally collapsed, for once and for all, ruined by internal fighting and the overabundance of Greeg lizards. Sevdrolet was finally overrun by the CoN, but then they all got sick. Sevdrolet had no official government after they all died of the plague, and the CoN retreated into itself, eventually being renamed the HPN. The Odorslatian governments survived; however, both were severely weakened and broke out into a few civil wars that all ended in painful deaths for all parties involved. Gusmoas continued to have no contact with the outside world, becoming increasingly more superstitious and oddly religious, founding the Church of the Party People in the Trees. The Basilica of the Treehouse was built on the ruins of the Palace of Tressene. The mountain people built a massive temple to their founders, which is actually quite beautiful - adorned with intricate carvings, reflecting pools, and floating candles, etc - that still stands today. They call it the First Wonder of the Modern World, and honestly, who can dispute that? Seseco had... problems (see: South Seseco). Oralotzo was almost completely wiped out, but a few thousand survived. They decided to work on re-fertilizing their soil, and only had contact with Skelmrelm. And the Kingdom of Marricopra, ruled by King Bantramus II, finally collapsed. With that ended the world's Second Age, and in 1920, Skelmrelm declared that the Second Apocalypse was over. So began the Third Age. af17da305749b1fa751b279296121787fdbc73c4 304 303 2023-10-01T19:32:25Z Asisi Games Co2 14 /* The Fireplague Epidemic: 1406-1455 */ wikitext text/x-wiki ''This articles has an issue: ENCYCLOPEDIC TONE and LACK OF OUTSIDE LINKS. Please improve the article for this.'' They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya. Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate the Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and while Eddenarah had the upper hand at first, the Lobsterites gradually improved. When they unified under the name Children of Nephrops then they routed Eddenarah off of the islands. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == ''Main Article: [[Dark Ages]]'' Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish were the Children of Nephrops (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Children of Nephrops (CoN) just to say "HA!" The CoN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The CoN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the CoN's capital. The CoN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The CoN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The CoN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the CoN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the CoN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the CoN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the CoN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the CoN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. South Seseco is also a place of many inventions, the [[Traffic Signal]] (1872, [[Saint Vennes]], [[Deprivique]]), [[Printing Press]] (1450, [[Burges]], [[Grand Duchy of Burges]]) and [[Controlled Access Motorway]] (1913, [[Kvev]], [[Tornobyl]]) were all invented here. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chkyeb]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. The two sides united in 1550 to form the Chkyeb Uniate. Expansion continued eastward. In 1620 a civil war began. ==== The Jenois War of 1620 ==== Jenois was an exclave of people who remained in the Mountain Culture. They called themselves Kruchtevs (a common term used to refer to them in a negative light was "Crookies") and their capital was [[Kauter]]. [[Jenois|Jenois City]], as we know it today was an orsk catholic outpost that spoke Letique. The Kruchtevs were under severe penal laws, below is a basic rundown: * Crookies may not buy land unless the land had been owned by another Crookie. * Crookies may not go to school. * Crookies could not practice religion. * Crookies may only speak Letique. * Crookies may not possess anything that could be used to defend themselves * A maximum of one shop could be opened by a Crookie in any one town. * Crookies could only shop at places owned by Crookies. * Crookies could not ride carriages or own horses. * So on, So forth The first "Crookie Uprising" was actually in 1590 but it failed miserably and half of [[Kauter]] was burned to the ground. In 1620, with help from the [[Tornobyl Arms Association]] they were able to start a revolution in Kauter. The surrounding area was quickly captured and the [[Kruchtev Union]] was declared. They were followed by Deprivique, a region also descriminated against because of their Vizantian Catholic faith. Together the two new nations took over everything east of the Chkyiv Mountains. At home, the Uniate was struggling to keep the peace as a new disease called "Crookpox" (named so because many believed it was a consequence of discriminating against the Kruchtevs) was running rampant throughout the country. The [[Kruchtev Union]], [[Deprivique Republic]] and [[Letoque State]] (Puppet of Deprivique) were given fully recognised independance. ==== Reunited ==== In 1720, Letoque joined Deprivique to create the [[Holy Vizantian Union]]. The [[Kruchtev Union]] united with the [[City State of Tornve]] to create the [[New Kruchtev State]]. In 1722 the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] reunited with the [[Verst Empire]] and in 1723 a war began. ==== War of Letoque (1723 - 1770) ==== On the 3rd September 1723 the 2nd Chkyeb Union declared war on the [[Holy Vizantian Union]] and the [[New Kruchtev State]]. At first, their attack was strong, they took over Tornve and many mountanious regions. But then winter hit. The counteroffensive was described by a verst survivor as "Fast and sharp". They mainly attacked at nigh tand in small numbers. The Verst army was pushed all the way back to Verst. By then Tornobyl joined the war and more reinforcements were coming from allied nations. The war went on like this for 47 years. Then they decided they would better just unite, lest lose anymore lives. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the east (1530): The wast was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Let's start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting each other. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. Deprivique natives originated from somewhere along the [[Vizantus Strait]]. They left their homeland of Dovranland due to a war with some neighboring power. We don't know how long ago this was, but best historians estimate that it was during the Post Flood era. [[File:0e5138d4-7ec9-4f38-9982-3b7a8d3af6d5.jpg|center|thumb|Mural in Petersport depicting the natives of Deprivique leaving their homeland circa 1198]]Deprivique was two kingdoms, the Grand Duchy of Hallem and the Kingdom of Leynes (now Petersport). They united in 748 to form the [[Deprivique Union]]. They were invaded by their neighbour, [[Letoque]] to the north ~912 during the [[Letoque Conquests]]. While they were independant not much notable happened. ===== Jenois ===== Today [[Jenois]] is a disputed canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] (Officially it is part of the canton [[Letoque Jenois]]) It does not have a very unique culture at all, they are basically just people from the Chkyiv Mountains who emmigrated west and met the Letoque people. Something that is notable about them is that they were hit incredibly hard during the Lacertiliitis. Almost three quarters of their population died, half of the remaining emmigrated. The city of Jenois was almost empty by 1900. They repopulated at very impressive rates, and today the region has a population of 1.4 Million. ===== Letoque ===== Letoque is and always was the dominant power in the West. The people of Letoque (Letiquain)'s origins are unknown but we think they came from the same place as the Tornoblites. The capital of Letoque is [[Saint Vennes]]. It is the second most populous canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] but has no city over one million in population. Over it's history Letoque has had a very unique take on land, similar to that of the Russian Empire. This encouraged people to spread out which is why they are significantly less dense than the other cantons. Letoque is home to Jenois, a disputed canton in it's east. Letoque lost land and was eventually destroyed in the [[Letoque Wars]] which lasted from 1610 - 1670 and main belligrents were the Verst Empire and Grand Duchy of Burges (GDB seceded from the Chkyeb Uniate in 1620). ==== Summary ==== South Seseco has had a history of civil wars, disease and violent wars, however it has also had times of prosperity. The "Seseco Golden Age" was the time from 1723 - 1803 both started and ended by war, but during which there was no fighting and instead inventions, discoveries and industrialisation. == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the CoN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The CoN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame, which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the CoN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == For those of you who are too lazy to read: basically the three powers of the Centrius Basin were at war off and on for 73 (and a quarter!) years. This was the last major war of this type, and ended with the CoN regaining control of the islands (for now...). In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the CoN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in late 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the CoN capital, while the CoN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). After half a year of this, all sides realized that this type of warfare was entirely unsustainable, and called a year-and-a-half ceasefire to build up their resources. In 1304 AY, Marricopra launched an assault on Centrius, and held and defended the island for ten years. The CoN was too busy rebuilding its capital for what was at least the third time, and so it was no difficulty for Marricopra to hold back the meager Ashmanschkri army, until 1314, when the CoN rejoined the battle, heading straight for the Marricopran capital. It was the worst destruction the area had seen since the Flood. Marricopra immediately moved backwards to defend their capital, and while the CoN-Marricopra conflict went on in what remained of the Valley of Pryoriya, Ashmanschkra took the islands. Marricopra eventually pushed back the CoN to the far East. The loss from this set of fighting sparked another ceasefire, this one lasting four and a half years. This truce was broken by the CoN, who made their first stab at Ashmanschkra. This time it was successful, and they officially owned the Ashmanschrki army (Sevdrolet refused to join this war. This created a rift in the country, but more on this later) for a time. However, the Army of Ashmanschkra the Inevitable refused to be owned by any other faction, and rebelled against the CoN generals, which put a slight dent in the CoN army, but mostly distracted them from the Marricopra 1326 invasion of Centrius. Marricopra owned the islands for another 5 years, in which the CoN ''and'' Ashmanschkra banded together (ironically) to shove them out, but the Marricopran army was so large they couldn't manage this until 1332, and then Ashmanschkra turned on the CoN, and they fought it out for a few years while Marricopra went back to rebuilding and making poisons from the lizards in the only national reserve, which was overhunted anyway. The longest ceasefire was from 1336-1343, after which Marricopra and the CoN simultaneously pulled support from the Order (both North and South). Ashmanschkra admitted defeat and decided to focus on its quickly worsening relations with the pacifist Sevdrolet. Once the Order got involved, almost everything within view was burned to the ground, Centrius became so inhabitable everyone wondered why they still fought over it, and King Vilassey of Marricopra died in battle, leaving no heirs but his niece, Nichra, who became the first Queen of Marricopra. She had little to no popular support, as she was a woman, but proved to be a brilliant strategist and brought Marricopra to an almost decisive victory at the Fourty-Fifth Battle of Great Nephrops Island, until the southern Order turned on them and Marricopra surrendered and shut its doors to the world. The CoN claimed Centrius, renamed it the Grand Lobster Islands, and the Order went home. In 1374, the Treaty of the Lobsterites was signed (grudgingly) by CoN general Parsley and Queen Nichra, who was at the very least lauded for her dignity in the face of such a crushing defeat. == The Fireplague Epidemic: 1406-1455 == The disease technically began spreading in 1402, but given the slowness of travel at the time, it didn't spread beyond the Great and True (Northern) Order until 1406. The One and Only Everlasting Flame apparently had microbes in them. Harmful ones. And after centuries of humans tending to the fire and its odd microbiome, they latched onto the Arch-Priests, and spread throughout the Mocze Desert's tent cities. It began with the Chief Arch-Priest, Bengellus, burning with a 106 degree fever. The next day, all four other Arch-Priests woke up with the same fever, and Bengellus broke out in hives said to burn "as if the Eternal Fire had itself showered its infernal sparks upon the skin." On the third day, Bengellus began vomiting blood. On the fourth, he died. The four remaining Arch-Priests all exhibited the same symptoms, but not within the same time frame. Hibriz died the day the boils appeared; Porops had a fever for a week and then got the boils and coughed blood (and died) all on the same day; Caprokcil only ever had boils, which lasted a week and a half and then he died with no warning; and Nezrel had a fever for two days, boils for a week and a half, and eventually recovered with only some light scarring. From Nezrel and the other four's caretakers, the disease spread across Mocze without warning and with no cure. Only a quarter of the Northern Order survives, and they start lighting fires in what is by then proto-Gondolinius, which spreads the disease through the southern Order like wildfire, and across the ocean to Marricopra via merchant ships. Marricopra gladly passes this on to the CoN and Ashmansckra via Altar (which has begun to rebel). All the guards on Great Nephrops Island die from the disease, but no one dares go replace them for fear of becoming infected themselves. Centrius goes unclaimed - it is during this time that Sevdrolet goes and unofficially names it the Central Archipelago, and the name sticks. The disease is sent north to Odorslat, but very few die as the cold climate cannot sustain the archaea-bacteria [''and yes, I'm basing the vaguely scientific nature of fireplague off of my 7th grade science class'']. What little of the disease can spread makes its way to Del Sacarmo/KoPWARToD, where it eventually dies out but destabilizes the colonial government enough for a complete overhaul, leaving the native [[Oralotzo|Oralians]] to kill the government and begin to rule themselves. After killing about a fifth of the Marricopran population (including the monarch, but they had a direct heir), more than half of Mocze, and a sixth of the rest of the world, the disease eventually dies down in 1455, as the population had naturally immunized itself, save for a few sparse outbreaks in remote areas. == The War of the Chicken Pie: 1507-1509 == In 1507 AY, what remained of the KoPWARToD (a small scrap of land on Seseco; now Hakha Rakhine) held the First (and only) International Baking Competition, inviting famous bakers worldwide. Among them were Gondolinius's Oragor Mentaylis, who owned the World's Largest Bakery (and nobody dared fight him on that); Sevdrolet's Jimalangang Kobrob; and the KoPWARToD's Happra Ling King, whose alliance was to the Rakhine rebellion brewing up north. Upon his winning the competition, the judges had no idea what country to award the top prize to, and so (as is, of course, usual) war was declared between the KoPWARToD and Hakha Rakhine. Marricopra threw themselves into the war, angry over the loss of Ashmanschkra and Centrius centuries before (and from getting last place in the competition), and led by Queen Ingelle "the Mad." They quickly drew out after the mysterious death of Ingelle and the ascension of King Billy Bob the Sixth, who gave the KoPWARToD several million dollars in reparations and an apology letter. What remained of the Northern Order finally wiped themselves out by throwing themselves and their disease-ridden bodies into the war. This ended with the Treaty of the Kitchen, the formation of Hakha Rakhine and the final dissolution of the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and the subsequent breakout of fireplague across Seseco. == The Second Fireplague Epidemic: 1509-1576 == The Seseco epidemic ended within a few months (see: the first fireplague epidemic and how that worked on Odorslat), but spread back south to Mocze via merchants from Santa Marino and then to Gondolinius, who sent diseased persons to Silencio and Marricopra out of spite (remember - they had their beginnings as religious fanatics). The two almost declared war in return, but then half of their armies fell ill and they decided otherwise. This epidemic went off and on for the next seventy years, with each breakout having epicenters in oddly diverse places, among them being the new Hakha Rakhine, the southernmost 2 blocks of a city in Odorslat, and Croissant Island. This epidemic ended with the Blizzard to End All Blizzards, which lasted exactly 3 days but was enough to kill the archaea-bacteria worldwide. The disease was confined to the We Hate Fire Quarantine Hospital, which was set up in the Mocze desert over the original site of the fire to ensure no one lighted it again. I would say there was peace from here on out, but there isn't, because this was when I remembered that tectonic plates were a thing. == The Split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet: 1599 and a couple years after that == The large, desert-y island of Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet, named after the two people groups that lived there, was situated on a fault line that became more precarious with each year after the Flood, until it finally broke apart during an earthquake and tsunami just south of the Central Archipelago, creating an event known as the Mini-Flood. The country officially became two (it had been threatening to become so for a while), with Ashmanschkra becoming the war peoples of the west, eagerly helping Altar break from Marricopra, though the Altarians themselves didn't care too much as Marricopra provided financial support. Sevdrolet was a nation of pacifists, and remained strictly neutral in all the Central Basin conflicts, though it formed close ties with the CoN. They became known for their art, and hated being invaded. However, seeing as they had no army, this happened over and over despite their declaring independence and creating more and more statues of famous Sevdroletis, which no one cared to take down as they actually looked quite good. The world began to be split over "do you support Ashmanschkra or Sevdrolet?" but as neither nation had the patience to fight the other, it all came to naught and everyone stopped caring, because the islands had moved into such a location to be perfect for beach vacations and millions flooded there. == The Economic Collapse of 1684 == After a little less than a century of relative-but-not-really peace, war in Skelmrelm completely demolished the economy of said country, bringing upon general economic collapse worldwide, as just about everyone depended on Skelmrelm for one reason or another. Does this name sound unfamiliar? Odorslat had, during this time, undergone yet another civil war that led to its renaming. The citizens were relieved that they were at least not called Knitted-Socks-ians. Skelmrelm during this time had moved past Marricopra in terms of GDP (and, in some areas, development) and become the new world epicenter, especially for the north. Gondolinius still considered Marricopra their main provider, however, and Silencio found the Kingdom easier to access. However, whatever petty disputes they had became unimportant in the face of total annihilation of all they'd worked for. However, with the discovery of oil deposits on Sevdrolet, the world economy slowly rebuilt as nations focused southward, and then back North after the Skelmrelm war ended. By 1690, the world economy had generally stabilized. == The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat == This is why the mountains have two main ranges. However, though the epicenter of this was in the mountains, aftershocks were so strong in the capital (on that bay just south of them) that it was completely demolished. This created a political split over who should rule where and how they should rebuild, and effectively ended the Republic of Odorslat as it was known. War broke out over the ruins of Odorslat-Priyoria, ending with the Treaty of What's Left of Priyoriya that split the country in four: Skelmrelm, the Republic of Saldon, the Kingdom of the Remnant, and the Spire Realm. The Kingdom of the Remnant was basically a puppet state of both Saldon and Skelmrelm, but at different times, seeing as it was located on the ruins of Priyoriya and only populated by a few thousand, mostly scholars and archaeologists there to study and preserve what was left of the city. Odorslat once again was no longer a world power, and Silencio began to compete with Marricopra for the title of highest GDP, until the 1794 Marricopran Revolution (see: [[The We're Sick of King Salamandario Revolution]]), after which the country turned inward to sort out its own problems. By 1799, the world was caught in a precarious balance between Skelmrelm and Silencio, as they had no access to Marricopra's resources (except for Sevdrolet, which the Kingdom just couldn't ignore). This resulted in a slight dip in the economy ~1800, but it eventually stabilized as Silencio began to compensate, and finally Marricopra (which had at last rid itself of Altar) reentered the world, about half the size it had been before. == Lacertiliitis: 1837-1850 == The disease began among the thousands of lizard species found at Great Lacertilia National Park. Still no one knows exactly which species spread it to humans, but the story goes like this: shopowner Tylline Tortatolus and his family visited the park in Firbicus 1837, and three weeks after returning, his wife died. Within the next two days, both of his children complained of pain in their mouth, throat, and stomach. Two days later, they died. Tylline lasted long enough to tell his neighbors of the strange occurrence, and then died in the home of musician Vollus Senddarry. The disease spread from the Senddarry household across the small town of Markpinne. The disease made it via caravan to the capital, and spread quickly through the population there. Then-Queen Nichra III soon realized what was happening and enforced a quarantine in the northeast part of the city, but not before boats carrying timber - the country's main resource - had reached Saldon, Gondolinius, and Oralotzo, spreading the disease there too. Soon testing was performed in the King Jimmy Central Hospital, and it was found that the disease turned one's saliva to hydrochloric acid. Scientists worldwide set to work creating a vaccine, but the most they could do was prevent death, though not entirely. Certain anomalies were found in the poorer parts of the city, where most of the population had already gone through a bout of Lizard Pox, a non-fatal disease spread by the Greeg lizard. Those who had already had the Pox were naturally immune to the disease - named Lacertiliitis after the park where it originated - and so many were hired on as doctors or even merely recipients of tests. They were paid by the government for their trouble, and often hired and paid ridiculous amounts of money to take over positions unstaffed because of the epidemic. Throughout the rest of the world scientists worked aggressively on creating a vaccine, or, in the case of Ashmanschkra, spreading Lizard Pox to as many citizens as possible. Because of this, most of the population had a natural immunity to Lacertiliitis by 1848. It is considered one of the most effective public health initiatives to date. Saldon and Skelmrelm teamed up to create a semi-effective vaccine, which forced out the virus by the second day, often leaving people on the brink of death but at least alive. They took to spreading numbing shots among their population, which at least prevented the pain caused from the acidic saliva. The vaccine was spread with the Kingdom of the Remnant, which consented to being absorbed into Skelmrelm, but the Spire Realm told themselves they could "handle this." They were all dead in three weeks. Gondolinius learned to work with the disease, and the hot climate created its first mutation, spread by melted cells. This resulted in a burning sensation throughout the body, which the Southern Order (now a strong theo-political presence in the area) promoted as a religious experience, not knowing how deadly the disease was. Lacertiliitis and the "Fire of the Heavens" mutation spread even more rapidly throughout Gondolinius and eventually to the abandoned We Hate Fire Hospital, which still had the remains of fireplague all over it. The Imperialist Party of Gondolinius set up an initiative to promote the quarantining of sick individuals. The Southern Order fought back against this relentlessly, creating a split in the general population over whether or not the "Fire of the Heavens" phenomena was a religious experience or a serious medical condition. Those who considered it religious were eventually put in a mental hospital during the Second Apocalypse, and the rest ran away to the desert. That aside, the disease died out in the urban parts of Gondolinius, but thrived in the rural areas around the Fireplague hospital, which created it's own problem, but more on that later... In the CoN, where the disease was spread from Marricopra via Sevdrolet and the oilfield workers there, the disease also mutated, creating something similar to the "Fire of the Heavens" bacteria, but instead causing only the skin to burn and dry out. This version wasn't completely fatal, even though Lizard Pox wasn't prevalent among the CoN. It was thought that the melting of the cells in the unceasing heat lessened the effects, but the disease was eradicated in 1845 due to a spike in heat and a drought, and so was never able to be studied. By 1850, the disease had calmed down worldwide (except for Gondolinius, but that's next). == Lacertiliitis-Fireplague Meltdown: 1895-1901 == The worst pandemic known to mankind. It began in what was renamed the Great Imperial Quarantine Hospital in central Gondolinius (the site has once again been abandoned, and is no longer owned by the country), where the archaea-bacteria known as fireplague had lain dormant on all the abandoned tools, beds, and especially in the indent in the floor that had once been the One and Only Everlasting Flame. As Lacertiliitis patients flooded in, using all the infected equipment and lying in the fireplague-infested beds, the two diseases began to combine, resulting in the first case of what was known, rather creatively, as "Lacertiliitis-fireplague." The first recorded patient was Appap Nipzap, a dockworker, of southern Gondolinius. He first reported a 106-degree fever - the universal signal of fireplague - and the next day his skin turned red, and he was said to claim it "burned worse than the Fire of the Heavens" (a disease he had, at first, survived). Three days after first reporting a fever, the red receded, turning into small boils that bled. After five days he appeared to be recovering, until he reported the signifying mouth-esophagus-stomach pain that came with Lacertiliitis. After a week, he finally coughed up blood and died. The new mutation spread throughout the hospital faster than even the Fire of the Heavens, apparently being more contagious than any previous strain (spread via touch), leaving only two survivors - very pregnant women - who had a strange natural immunity. Lacertiliitis-fireplague spread slowly south and then trickled through the poorer, non-immune southern Gondolinius population. Before the Gondolinian government could figure out what was happening, thousands of carriers, sick, and healthy alike had boarded boats to Gusmoas and Oralotzo, one of the world's least populated areas. This mass exodus became the downfall of Imperial Gondolinius, but not quite yet. The sick aboard the Gusmoas-bound boats all died on the way, and only four remained and made it to land. They set fire to the boats they came on and as they incorporated themselves into the Silencian population, millions more died. The several dozens remaining declared themselves Gods and fled into the mountains, only to be discovered nearly a century later by the Orsk Federation. Silencio collapsed, utterly and completely, and the land became inhabitable, overrun by plants, weeds, and rabid animals. On Del Sacarmo, which was still dry and dusty from the sandstorms that plagued them almost a thousand years ago, received the refugees with open arms, only to kill three-quarters of the population. Only those in the North survived, quarantining themselves. The Orsk Federation received the disease via shipments from Santa Marino, and only went into lockdown after half of the population had been killed. Sometime during this the disease makes its way to Marricopra, where it kills King Jimmy the Nineteenth (and last), sending the Kingdom into upheaval. By 1896 the whole world is in lockdown, save for Odorslat, which can't sustain itself very well and goes to war. Saldon and Skelmrelm begin a decades-long war over the general control of Odorslat, which is slowly starving to death. Skelmrelm decides to send all of its scientists to the Central Archipelago, and other countries follow suit. The Shrine of the Great Star Lobster becomes a giant lab, with everyone working according to their own time zone schedule so work is always being done. In 1897 a vaccine is created by a team of Skelmish, Altarian, and Sevdroleti scientists. By 1901, the vaccine is distributed worldwide and rebuilding begins. Until the Second End of the World comes. == The Second Apocalypse: 1906 == For a land inhabited by a religious group whose only claim to fame was that they started fires incessantly, there was only one Fire War. There were 12 - exactly twelve, and three were children - members of the Northern Order left. They lived a little North of the We Hate Fire Hospital, in tents, and obsessively lit up random patches of desert. Every year they got more and more mad at the financial support lent to the Southern Order and those who defected from the North, until they were all positively boiling with anger and in 1906 set fire to the capital of Gondolinius. Gondolinius assumed it was Marricopra - as they were prone to do, after the Seventy-Three-and-A-Half-Years War - and declared war on the very weakened kingdom. And then it happened. The fires, as it turned out, were ''still'' full of fireplague - somehow - and within a week both Gondolinius and Marricopra had a full-fledged outbreak on their hands. Gondolinius gave Marricopra a half-hearted apology and then returned to declare war on the Northern Order. But there were only 12 in the Order, and Gondolinius was still angry and so turned on itself and the Southern Order allies in Marricopra. So began the Fire Wars, with the Southern Order lighting anything aflame that stood in their path. At one point, they appeared to be gaining the upper hand, but then half of them came down with the newest Lacertiliitis-fireplague mutation. Though much of the world was vaccinated, the vaccine only worked on the 1895 strain, and those who had had Lizard Pox previously only had a 3-in-5 chance of recovery. From Marricopra the new strain spread to Altar, then to Ashmanschkra. From Gondolinius it went to Gusmoas, Santa Marino, and then to Seseco. Nowhere was safe anymore: the heat couldn't melt the diseased cells, and the cold couldn't kill them. The Fire Wars became an absolute farce, with no real end to them after the Gondolinian Emperor died of the plague. The Order was considered once and for all extinct, though it was rumored that members were still strewn worldwide, lighting fires in secret. Altar was so crippled by the plague and war effort that they consented to being owned by Ashmanschkra for a time. However, the Ashmanschkran government finally collapsed, for once and for all, ruined by internal fighting and the overabundance of Greeg lizards. Sevdrolet was finally overrun by the CoN, but then they all got sick. Sevdrolet had no official government after they all died of the plague, and the CoN retreated into itself, eventually being renamed the HPN. The Odorslatian governments survived; however, both were severely weakened and broke out into a few civil wars that all ended in painful deaths for all parties involved. Gusmoas continued to have no contact with the outside world, becoming increasingly more superstitious and oddly religious, founding the Church of the Party People in the Trees. The Basilica of the Treehouse was built on the ruins of the Palace of Tressene. The mountain people built a massive temple to their founders, which is actually quite beautiful - adorned with intricate carvings, reflecting pools, and floating candles, etc - that still stands today. They call it the First Wonder of the Modern World, and honestly, who can dispute that? Seseco had... problems (see: South Seseco). Oralotzo was almost completely wiped out, but a few thousand survived. They decided to work on re-fertilizing their soil, and only had contact with Skelmrelm. And the Kingdom of Marricopra, ruled by King Bantramus II, finally collapsed. With that ended the world's Second Age, and in 1920, Skelmrelm declared that the Second Apocalypse was over. So began the Third Age. 6409af1bc1410a2bd73550a4894e0e40679989b5 0 1 305 233 2023-10-01T19:37:55Z Asisi Games Co2 14 /* Welcome to Country Clash '70! */ wikitext text/x-wiki __NOTOC__ == Welcome to Country Clash '70! == In this RP Studio, you can establish your own nation, or take over and colonize.

Around 992, these people began a tradition of lighting bonfires and became very barbaric. In 1208 AY, the Order of the Everlasting Fire split Mocze into two areas (now [[Worsh]] and [[Santa Marino]]). ==== The Fireplague Epidemics ==== Between 1402 and 1455, the nation was hard-hit by the Fireplague Epidemic. The pandemic ended in 1455 but came back for between 1509 and 1576, right after the [[War of the Chicken Pie.]] == Geography == The southern and central area of Mocze, mainly in [[Worsh]] and [[Skelmrelm]], is a large desert that produces oil.

It is south of Seseco and north of Gusmoas. == History == === Prehistory === Scientists believe that modern-day humans evolved in what is now the Skelmish colony of Mocze. === Dark Ages and After === In the [[Dark Ages]] (543-826 AY) the people of Mocze were very religious, believing in an animistic religion that most likely is the ancestor of the modern religions in the area. Around 992, these people began a tradition of lighting bonfires and became very barbaric. In 1208 AY, the Order of the Everlasting Fire split Mocze into two areas (now [[Worsh]] and [[Santa Marino]]). ==== The Fireplague Epidemics ==== Between 1402 and 1455, the nation was hard-hit by the Fireplague Epidemic. The pandemic ended in 1455 but came back for between 1509 and 1576, right after the [[War of the Chicken Pie.]] == Geography == The southern and central area of Mocze, mainly in [[Worsh]] and [[Skelmrelm]], is a large desert that produces oil.

The people of Hakha Rakhine were depressed and devastated due to their valuable stuff had been gone. 1700 AD: In 1700 AD, the Hakha Rakhine was formed and no one merely knew the country yet, They were known as enlightenment but had poor lifestyles due to homes being made out of dead trees and clay. During this time period, they had a leader known as Pyu Tun Paing. The Great Grandfather of the Paing family. He was known as the helper or the Communist Rat. He helped the people who had Nocks or gold left to become first-class citizens, but those who didn't have any Nocks or gold left were assigned a job to build the first city of Yangon. Some people protested against this but had no choice but to accept it. 1900 AD: Now that in the 1900 AD, Hakha Rakhine was known by the world. It was known as the communist state due to the lack of Nocks they had left. Their goal was to make more Nocks and Kyats possible create more armies and make a powerful communist country. The people of Hakha Rakhine did not like the government and wanted freedom of speech but were declined since there could be harm done to the very last class citizens. The First Class was called into a meeting by the president. The president asked how he could change plans to stop protesting and they said by voting. They would make the voting for the Communist party only and from Middle-Class citizens. When voting, 1 class is allowed to vote, and that would only be the class, Once the first class is done voting for the president and one of the votes is higher the middle class goes next, and it will depend on two communist presidents. Which one is worth it and which one is not.

[[File:Campaign.jpg|thumb|right|The Rakhine Campaign]] == Infrastructure == The Capital City of Yango's Infrastructure relies on buildings, supplies, and power. Each of these things is beyond limits due to the fewer items we have. Power always goes out during 10-11 PM Night. This is called the Power Curfew. During each day, the power will go out through 8-9 PM or 10-11 PM.

Skelmrelm and the Republic of [[Saldon]] are the only two countries inhabiting the continent. Skelmrelm is a [[Constitutional Monarchy]], and has a population of 30 million people. It has 8 cities. == History == Skelmrelm was a product of [[The Flood]]. The path being cleared for nations to start their rise, Skelmrelm was one of the first to do so. They were a simple and kind people; simply wanting to settle down and come together to prevent future disasters from destroying them completely. And Skelmrelm was calm. For a long time. Of course, they got involved in wars that threatened their livelyhood, but they never got severely damaged. They had established cities in Odorslat, [[Mocze]], and [[Seseco]]. However, in Mocze, 1406, a problem arised. A scientist, trying to find the secret to immortality, discovered a disease. This disease, called [[Fireplague]], caused fever, boils, coughing blood, and death. The doctor tried making a cure, but got infected. The disease spread like wildfire; soon, the city of [[Vredestad]] was gone to the masses of infected dead bodies. The disease would spread all the way throughout Mocze, rendering it inhabitable. Other nations around the world managed to stop it from spreading to other continents, and the world was calm again. For 103 years. In 1509, the nation of [[Gondolinus]] wanted to clear Mocze of Fireplague. And so, they fashioned suits, meant to protect against Fireplague. These suits worked for the most part, however, there was a flaw in some of them. This lead to some people being infected, and going back to Gondolinus (and other nations) without noticing. Outbreaks in Gondolinus, Skelmrelm, and others, were popping up more often. The nations tried to stop these from spreading to their mainland, which, for the most part, they were successful. However, the [[War of the Chicken Pie]] stopped because of it.. By this time, a cure was being researched. 5 years later, in 1581, it was finally created and used to render Mocze inhabitable again. And so, Fireplague was removed from the world... almost. Many years later, in 1683, the economy was great. Trade was bustling, and they were the main market for goods such as timber, food, and minerals. However, a terrorist attack done on the city of [[Liefde]] destroyed many trade centers. The terrorist attack led to thousands of homes being destroyed, and Liefde became a ghost town. This brought down the economy so much, in 1684, the economy collapsed. Many people lived in poverty. Since so many nations depended on Skelmrelm for so much, they too reached an economic low. This lasted for 4 years. After the economy slowly recovered, another grave disaster hit the nation. They had full control over the nation of Odorslat; it was where they originally came from, and it was where their capital was located. However, in 1775, a huge earthquake caused the republic to collapse, causing the nation to split into several others. One of the nations was Saldon. In 1837, a disease called [[Lacertiliitis]] had popped up. It caused it's victims saliva to turn into hydrochloric acid, causing them a lot of pain, and death in 2 days. Skelmrelm had funded the research for the cure of Lacertiliitis, however, before the cure arrived, a new strand of it was discovered. It was a combination of Lacertiliitis and Fireplague, called the [[Lacertiliitis-Fireplague]] Virus. Every Skelmish scientist banded together with scientists from other nations to find a cure to it, and every nation went into lockdown. This caused another economic collapse in Skelmrelm. It lasted until the virus was cured, in 1900 AY. == Cities == # [[Skelm]]. This is the capital city of Skelmrelm. Skelm means "sneaky" or "sly" in Afrikaans. # [[Veiligheid]]. This city is in the center of Skelmrelm, and is the place with the most Skelmish culture. # [[Militerestad]]. This city is on the coast. It contains the most military presence out of every city. # [[Kusstad]]. This city is on a peninsula. # [[Seestad]]. This city is also on a peninsula. # [[Randstad]]. This city is near the border. # [[Grensbeskermind]]. This city is near the border. # [[Grensstad]]. This city is near the border. == Language == Skelmrelm speaks [[Skelmish]], a combination of Afrikaans, German, and a tiny bit of Spanish. It is 89% Afrikaans, 19% German, and 1% Spanish. Dit is Skelmish in aktion. Dit word soos Duits ausgesprochen. Some words change based on whether it's using a feminine or mascsuline tone. For example, talking about his hourglass would be "el Sanduhr", while talking about her hourglass would be "la uurglas". Pronounciation is German.

Around 1500, a rebellion started in the northern area of the nation, and while the Kingdom war hard-hit, they later allied with the rebellion. In 1507, the nation hosted the International Baking Competition. The competition ended confusingly, somehow culminating in a war between Hakha Rakhine and the Kingdom. The war was further complicated by [[Marricopra]], led by [[Ingelle|Queen Ingelle the Mad]], joining the fight due to their anger about the loss of their colonial holdings at the hands of the kingdom centuries before. Marricopra drew out after Queen Ingelle's death, and the Kingdom was gifted several million [[nock]]<nowiki/>s by her successor, [[Billy Bob VI|King Billy Bob the Sixth]].

In fact, most of today's counties are still identified by the tribes border's. Many lived in small city states, which were walled-in cities ruled by various kings and queens. ==== Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust (992-1509) ==== ''Main Article: [[Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust]]'' The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, often abbreviated "KoPWARToD", was the first city state to unify all of [[Del Sacarmo]]. The nation was forced into expansion by various dust storms in their home city, [[Tsoje]], thus their name. They captured the city of [[Bogeva]] and there learned the secret to seafaring boats, therefore giving them the ability to conquer the rest of Del Sacarmo. They then spread to [[Seseco]], had some wars, and established ties with the [[Children of Nephrops]] and the people of [[Odorslat]]. The nation later fell in 1406 due to instability and the [[fireplague]], becoming one of the world's first representative democratic nations. However, the colony on [[Seseco]] later survived until the [[War of the Chicken Pie]]. === Early Oralotzo (1408-1920) === Early Oralotzo had little problems, for three centuries. ==== Lacertiliitis Pandemic (1838-1850) ==== Between 1838 and 1850, Oralotzo was somewhat hard hit by the Lacertiliitis pandemic. This is how much of the Edenarrahan population reached the area. In 1850, the pandemic ended and much returned to normal. Oralotzo also started the National Health Burea after this pandemic. ==== Second Lacertiliitis Pandemic and the Return of Fireplague (1897-1901) ==== For much of the early fireplague-Lacertiliitis pandemic, Oralotzo was majorly unaffected, due to it being mainly concentrated in [[Gondolinius]]. When two boats of refugees reached Oralotzo, they were greeted with open arms- however, much of the population died. Despite striking hard Oralotzo, the north area was largely ignored by the pandemic and a new cult of the spirit Laci became very popular and the nation became somehow immunized, ending the pandemic in the area. The cult of Laci stayed in power, and its leader, who changed his name to Lacitzo, was elected president in 1900 and was re-elected twice over the next coupe of years, finally ending his long term in 1923, with his death. ==== Second Apocalypse (1906-1950) ==== Oralotzo was very hard hit by the second apocalypse, leaving only about a thousand left. These thousand discovered that the fireplague in the pandemic could be used to re-fertilize the soil, and thus set to work. This continued even after Lacitzo's death, until 1950, when then-president Yatzo Laciya decided that they didn't need to care about it anymore. === Modern Times === Ever since, Oralotzo has been pretty much ignoring all wars and has been extremely peaceful.

Please improve the article for this.'' They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya. Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate the Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and while Eddenarah had the upper hand at first, the Lobsterites gradually improved. When they unified under the name Children of Nephrops then they routed Eddenarah off of the islands. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == ''Main Article: [[Dark Ages]]'' Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish were the Children of Nephrops (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Children of Nephrops (CoN) just to say "HA!" The CoN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The CoN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the CoN's capital. The CoN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The CoN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The CoN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the CoN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the CoN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the CoN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the CoN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the CoN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. South Seseco is also a place of many inventions, the [[Traffic Signal]] (1872, [[Saint Vennes]], [[Deprivique]]), [[Printing Press]] (1450, [[Burges]], [[Grand Duchy of Burges]]) and [[Controlled Access Motorway]] (1913, [[Kvev]], [[Tornobyl]]) were all invented here. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chkyeb]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. The two sides united in 1550 to form the Chkyeb Uniate. Expansion continued eastward. In 1620 a civil war began. ==== The Jenois War of 1620 ==== Jenois was an exclave of people who remained in the Mountain Culture. They called themselves Kruchtevs (a common term used to refer to them in a negative light was "Crookies") and their capital was [[Kauter]]. [[Jenois|Jenois City]], as we know it today was an orsk catholic outpost that spoke Letique. The Kruchtevs were under severe penal laws, below is a basic rundown: * Crookies may not buy land unless the land had been owned by another Crookie. * Crookies may not go to school. * Crookies could not practice religion. * Crookies may only speak Letique. * Crookies may not possess anything that could be used to defend themselves * A maximum of one shop could be opened by a Crookie in any one town. * Crookies could only shop at places owned by Crookies. * Crookies could not ride carriages or own horses. * So on, So forth The first "Crookie Uprising" was actually in 1590 but it failed miserably and half of [[Kauter]] was burned to the ground. In 1620, with help from the [[Tornobyl Arms Association]] they were able to start a revolution in Kauter. The surrounding area was quickly captured and the [[Kruchtev Union]] was declared. They were followed by Deprivique, a region also descriminated against because of their Vizantian Catholic faith. Together the two new nations took over everything east of the Chkyiv Mountains. At home, the Uniate was struggling to keep the peace as a new disease called "Crookpox" (named so because many believed it was a consequence of discriminating against the Kruchtevs) was running rampant throughout the country. The [[Kruchtev Union]], [[Deprivique Republic]] and [[Letoque State]] (Puppet of Deprivique) were given fully recognised independance. ==== Reunited ==== In 1720, Letoque joined Deprivique to create the [[Holy Vizantian Union]]. The [[Kruchtev Union]] united with the [[City State of Tornve]] to create the [[New Kruchtev State]]. In 1722 the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] reunited with the [[Verst Empire]] and in 1723 a war began. ==== War of Letoque (1723 - 1770) ==== On the 3rd September 1723 the 2nd Chkyeb Union declared war on the [[Holy Vizantian Union]] and the [[New Kruchtev State]]. At first, their attack was strong, they took over Tornve and many mountanious regions. But then winter hit. The counteroffensive was described by a verst survivor as "Fast and sharp". They mainly attacked at nigh tand in small numbers. The Verst army was pushed all the way back to Verst. By then Tornobyl joined the war and more reinforcements were coming from allied nations. The war went on like this for 47 years. Then they decided they would better just unite, lest lose anymore lives. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the east (1530): The wast was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Let's start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting each other. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. Deprivique natives originated from somewhere along the [[Vizantus Strait]]. They left their homeland of Dovranland due to a war with some neighboring power. We don't know how long ago this was, but best historians estimate that it was during the Post Flood era. [[File:0e5138d4-7ec9-4f38-9982-3b7a8d3af6d5.jpg|center|thumb|Mural in Petersport depicting the natives of Deprivique leaving their homeland circa 1198]]Deprivique was two kingdoms, the Grand Duchy of Hallem and the Kingdom of Leynes (now Petersport). They united in 748 to form the [[Deprivique Union]]. They were invaded by their neighbour, [[Letoque]] to the north ~912 during the [[Letoque Conquests]]. While they were independant not much notable happened. ===== Jenois ===== Today [[Jenois]] is a disputed canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] (Officially it is part of the canton [[Letoque Jenois]]) It does not have a very unique culture at all, they are basically just people from the Chkyiv Mountains who emmigrated west and met the Letoque people. Something that is notable about them is that they were hit incredibly hard during the Lacertiliitis. Almost three quarters of their population died, half of the remaining emmigrated. The city of Jenois was almost empty by 1900. They repopulated at very impressive rates, and today the region has a population of 1.4 Million. ===== Letoque ===== Letoque is and always was the dominant power in the West. The people of Letoque (Letiquain)'s origins are unknown but we think they came from the same place as the Tornoblites. The capital of Letoque is [[Saint Vennes]]. It is the second most populous canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] but has no city over one million in population. Over it's history Letoque has had a very unique take on land, similar to that of the Russian Empire. This encouraged people to spread out which is why they are significantly less dense than the other cantons. Letoque is home to Jenois, a disputed canton in it's east. Letoque lost land and was eventually destroyed in the [[Letoque Wars]] which lasted from 1610 - 1670 and main belligrents were the Verst Empire and Grand Duchy of Burges (GDB seceded from the Chkyeb Uniate in 1620). ==== Summary ==== South Seseco has had a history of civil wars, disease and violent wars, however it has also had times of prosperity. The "Seseco Golden Age" was the time from 1723 - 1803 both started and ended by war, but during which there was no fighting and instead inventions, discoveries and industrialisation. == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the CoN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The CoN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame, which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the CoN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == For those of you who are too lazy to read: basically the three powers of the Centrius Basin were at war off and on for 73 (and a quarter!) years. This was the last major war of this type, and ended with the CoN regaining control of the islands (for now...). In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the CoN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in late 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the CoN capital, while the CoN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). After half a year of this, all sides realized that this type of warfare was entirely unsustainable, and called a year-and-a-half ceasefire to build up their resources. In 1304 AY, Marricopra launched an assault on Centrius, and held and defended the island for ten years. The CoN was too busy rebuilding its capital for what was at least the third time, and so it was no difficulty for Marricopra to hold back the meager Ashmanschkri army, until 1314, when the CoN rejoined the battle, heading straight for the Marricopran capital. It was the worst destruction the area had seen since the Flood. Marricopra immediately moved backwards to defend their capital, and while the CoN-Marricopra conflict went on in what remained of the Valley of Pryoriya, Ashmanschkra took the islands. Marricopra eventually pushed back the CoN to the far East. The loss from this set of fighting sparked another ceasefire, this one lasting four and a half years. This truce was broken by the CoN, who made their first stab at Ashmanschkra. This time it was successful, and they officially owned the Ashmanschrki army (Sevdrolet refused to join this war. This created a rift in the country, but more on this later) for a time. However, the Army of Ashmanschkra the Inevitable refused to be owned by any other faction, and rebelled against the CoN generals, which put a slight dent in the CoN army, but mostly distracted them from the Marricopra 1326 invasion of Centrius. Marricopra owned the islands for another 5 years, in which the CoN ''and'' Ashmanschkra banded together (ironically) to shove them out, but the Marricopran army was so large they couldn't manage this until 1332, and then Ashmanschkra turned on the CoN, and they fought it out for a few years while Marricopra went back to rebuilding and making poisons from the lizards in the only national reserve, which was overhunted anyway. The longest ceasefire was from 1336-1343, after which Marricopra and the CoN simultaneously pulled support from the Order (both North and South). Ashmanschkra admitted defeat and decided to focus on its quickly worsening relations with the pacifist Sevdrolet. Once the Order got involved, almost everything within view was burned to the ground, Centrius became so inhabitable everyone wondered why they still fought over it, and King Vilassey of Marricopra died in battle, leaving no heirs but his niece, Nichra, who became the first Queen of Marricopra. She had little to no popular support, as she was a woman, but proved to be a brilliant strategist and brought Marricopra to an almost decisive victory at the Fourty-Fifth Battle of Great Nephrops Island, until the southern Order turned on them and Marricopra surrendered and shut its doors to the world. The CoN claimed Centrius, renamed it the Grand Lobster Islands, and the Order went home. In 1374, the Treaty of the Lobsterites was signed (grudgingly) by CoN general Parsley and Queen Nichra, who was at the very least lauded for her dignity in the face of such a crushing defeat. == The Fireplague Epidemic: 1406-1455 == The disease technically began spreading in 1402, but given the slowness of travel at the time, it didn't spread beyond the Great and True (Northern) Order until 1406. The One and Only Everlasting Flame apparently had microbes in them. Harmful ones. And after centuries of humans tending to the fire and its odd microbiome, they latched onto the Arch-Priests, and spread throughout the Mocze Desert's tent cities. It began with the Chief Arch-Priest, Bengellus, burning with a 106 degree fever. The next day, all four other Arch-Priests woke up with the same fever, and Bengellus broke out in hives said to burn "as if the Eternal Fire had itself showered its infernal sparks upon the skin." On the third day, Bengellus began vomiting blood. On the fourth, he died. The four remaining Arch-Priests all exhibited the same symptoms, but not within the same time frame. Hibriz died the day the boils appeared; Porops had a fever for a week and then got the boils and coughed blood (and died) all on the same day; Caprokcil only ever had boils, which lasted a week and a half and then he died with no warning; and Nezrel had a fever for two days, boils for a week and a half, and eventually recovered with only some light scarring. From Nezrel and the other four's caretakers, the disease spread across Mocze without warning and with no cure. Only a quarter of the Northern Order survives, and they start lighting fires in what is by then proto-Gondolinius, which spreads the disease through the southern Order like wildfire, and across the ocean to Marricopra via merchant ships. Marricopra gladly passes this on to the CoN and Ashmansckra via Altar (which has begun to rebel). All the guards on Great Nephrops Island die from the disease, but no one dares go replace them for fear of becoming infected themselves. Centrius goes unclaimed - it is during this time that Sevdrolet goes and unofficially names it the Central Archipelago, and the name sticks. The disease is sent north to Odorslat, but very few die as the cold climate cannot sustain the archaea-bacteria [''and yes, I'm basing the vaguely scientific nature of fireplague off of my 7th grade science class'']. What little of the disease can spread makes its way to Del Sacarmo/KoPWARToD, where it eventually dies out but destabilizes the colonial government enough for a complete overhaul, leaving the native [[Oralotzo|Oralians]] to kill the government and begin to rule themselves. After killing about a fifth of the Marricopran population (including the monarch, but they had a direct heir), more than half of Mocze, and a sixth of the rest of the world, the disease eventually dies down in 1455, as the population had naturally immunized itself, save for a few sparse outbreaks in remote areas. == The War of the Chicken Pie: 1507-1509 == In 1507 AY, what remained of the KoPWARToD (a small scrap of land on Seseco; now Hakha Rakhine) held the First (and only) International Baking Competition, inviting famous bakers worldwide. Among them were Gondolinius's Oragor Mentaylis, who owned the World's Largest Bakery (and nobody dared fight him on that); Sevdrolet's Jimalangang Kobrob; and the KoPWARToD's King Ercal Bogefayal, whose alliance was to the Rakhine rebellion brewing up north. Upon his winning the competition, the judges had no idea what country to award the top prize to, and so (as is, of course, usual) war was declared between the KoPWARToD and Hakha Rakhine. Marricopra threw themselves into the war, angry over the loss of Ashmanschkra and Centrius centuries before (and from getting last place in the competition), and led by Queen Ingelle "the Mad." They quickly drew out after the mysterious death of Ingelle and the ascension of King Billy Bob the Sixth, who gave the KoPWARToD several million dollars in reparations and an apology letter. What remained of the Northern Order finally wiped themselves out by throwing themselves and their disease-ridden bodies into the war. This ended with the Treaty of the Kitchen, the formation of Hakha Rakhine and the final dissolution of the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and the subsequent breakout of fireplague across Seseco. == The Second Fireplague Epidemic: 1509-1576 == The Seseco epidemic ended within a few months (see: the first fireplague epidemic and how that worked on Odorslat), but spread back south to Mocze via merchants from Santa Marino and then to Gondolinius, who sent diseased persons to Silencio and Marricopra out of spite (remember - they had their beginnings as religious fanatics). The two almost declared war in return, but then half of their armies fell ill and they decided otherwise. This epidemic went off and on for the next seventy years, with each breakout having epicenters in oddly diverse places, among them being the new Hakha Rakhine, the southernmost 2 blocks of a city in Odorslat, and Croissant Island. This epidemic ended with the Blizzard to End All Blizzards, which lasted exactly 3 days but was enough to kill the archaea-bacteria worldwide. The disease was confined to the We Hate Fire Quarantine Hospital, which was set up in the Mocze desert over the original site of the fire to ensure no one lighted it again. I would say there was peace from here on out, but there isn't, because this was when I remembered that tectonic plates were a thing. == The Split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet: 1599 and a couple years after that == The large, desert-y island of Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet, named after the two people groups that lived there, was situated on a fault line that became more precarious with each year after the Flood, until it finally broke apart during an earthquake and tsunami just south of the Central Archipelago, creating an event known as the Mini-Flood. The country officially became two (it had been threatening to become so for a while), with Ashmanschkra becoming the war peoples of the west, eagerly helping Altar break from Marricopra, though the Altarians themselves didn't care too much as Marricopra provided financial support. Sevdrolet was a nation of pacifists, and remained strictly neutral in all the Central Basin conflicts, though it formed close ties with the CoN. They became known for their art, and hated being invaded. However, seeing as they had no army, this happened over and over despite their declaring independence and creating more and more statues of famous Sevdroletis, which no one cared to take down as they actually looked quite good. The world began to be split over "do you support Ashmanschkra or Sevdrolet?" but as neither nation had the patience to fight the other, it all came to naught and everyone stopped caring, because the islands had moved into such a location to be perfect for beach vacations and millions flooded there. == The Economic Collapse of 1684 == After a little less than a century of relative-but-not-really peace, war in Skelmrelm completely demolished the economy of said country, bringing upon general economic collapse worldwide, as just about everyone depended on Skelmrelm for one reason or another. Does this name sound unfamiliar? Odorslat had, during this time, undergone yet another civil war that led to its renaming. The citizens were relieved that they were at least not called Knitted-Socks-ians. Skelmrelm during this time had moved past Marricopra in terms of GDP (and, in some areas, development) and become the new world epicenter, especially for the north. Gondolinius still considered Marricopra their main provider, however, and Silencio found the Kingdom easier to access. However, whatever petty disputes they had became unimportant in the face of total annihilation of all they'd worked for. However, with the discovery of oil deposits on Sevdrolet, the world economy slowly rebuilt as nations focused southward, and then back North after the Skelmrelm war ended. By 1690, the world economy had generally stabilized. == The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat == This is why the mountains have two main ranges. However, though the epicenter of this was in the mountains, aftershocks were so strong in the capital (on that bay just south of them) that it was completely demolished. This created a political split over who should rule where and how they should rebuild, and effectively ended the Republic of Odorslat as it was known. War broke out over the ruins of Odorslat-Priyoria, ending with the Treaty of What's Left of Priyoriya that split the country in four: Skelmrelm, the Republic of Saldon, the Kingdom of the Remnant, and the Spire Realm. The Kingdom of the Remnant was basically a puppet state of both Saldon and Skelmrelm, but at different times, seeing as it was located on the ruins of Priyoriya and only populated by a few thousand, mostly scholars and archaeologists there to study and preserve what was left of the city. Odorslat once again was no longer a world power, and Silencio began to compete with Marricopra for the title of highest GDP, until the 1794 Marricopran Revolution (see: [[The We're Sick of King Salamandario Revolution]]), after which the country turned inward to sort out its own problems. By 1799, the world was caught in a precarious balance between Skelmrelm and Silencio, as they had no access to Marricopra's resources (except for Sevdrolet, which the Kingdom just couldn't ignore). This resulted in a slight dip in the economy ~1800, but it eventually stabilized as Silencio began to compensate, and finally Marricopra (which had at last rid itself of Altar) reentered the world, about half the size it had been before. == Lacertiliitis: 1837-1850 == The disease began among the thousands of lizard species found at Great Lacertilia National Park. Still no one knows exactly which species spread it to humans, but the story goes like this: shopowner Tylline Tortatolus and his family visited the park in Firbicus 1837, and three weeks after returning, his wife died. Within the next two days, both of his children complained of pain in their mouth, throat, and stomach. Two days later, they died. Tylline lasted long enough to tell his neighbors of the strange occurrence, and then died in the home of musician Vollus Senddarry. The disease spread from the Senddarry household across the small town of Markpinne. The disease made it via caravan to the capital, and spread quickly through the population there. Then-Queen Nichra III soon realized what was happening and enforced a quarantine in the northeast part of the city, but not before boats carrying timber - the country's main resource - had reached Saldon, Gondolinius, and Oralotzo, spreading the disease there too. Soon testing was performed in the King Jimmy Central Hospital, and it was found that the disease turned one's saliva to hydrochloric acid. Scientists worldwide set to work creating a vaccine, but the most they could do was prevent death, though not entirely. Certain anomalies were found in the poorer parts of the city, where most of the population had already gone through a bout of Lizard Pox, a non-fatal disease spread by the Greeg lizard. Those who had already had the Pox were naturally immune to the disease - named Lacertiliitis after the park where it originated - and so many were hired on as doctors or even merely recipients of tests. They were paid by the government for their trouble, and often hired and paid ridiculous amounts of money to take over positions unstaffed because of the epidemic. Throughout the rest of the world scientists worked aggressively on creating a vaccine, or, in the case of Ashmanschkra, spreading Lizard Pox to as many citizens as possible. Because of this, most of the population had a natural immunity to Lacertiliitis by 1848. It is considered one of the most effective public health initiatives to date. Saldon and Skelmrelm teamed up to create a semi-effective vaccine, which forced out the virus by the second day, often leaving people on the brink of death but at least alive. They took to spreading numbing shots among their population, which at least prevented the pain caused from the acidic saliva. The vaccine was spread with the Kingdom of the Remnant, which consented to being absorbed into Skelmrelm, but the Spire Realm told themselves they could "handle this." They were all dead in three weeks. Gondolinius learned to work with the disease, and the hot climate created its first mutation, spread by melted cells. This resulted in a burning sensation throughout the body, which the Southern Order (now a strong theo-political presence in the area) promoted as a religious experience, not knowing how deadly the disease was. Lacertiliitis and the "Fire of the Heavens" mutation spread even more rapidly throughout Gondolinius and eventually to the abandoned We Hate Fire Hospital, which still had the remains of fireplague all over it. The Imperialist Party of Gondolinius set up an initiative to promote the quarantining of sick individuals. The Southern Order fought back against this relentlessly, creating a split in the general population over whether or not the "Fire of the Heavens" phenomena was a religious experience or a serious medical condition. Those who considered it religious were eventually put in a mental hospital during the Second Apocalypse, and the rest ran away to the desert. That aside, the disease died out in the urban parts of Gondolinius, but thrived in the rural areas around the Fireplague hospital, which created it's own problem, but more on that later... In the CoN, where the disease was spread from Marricopra via Sevdrolet and the oilfield workers there, the disease also mutated, creating something similar to the "Fire of the Heavens" bacteria, but instead causing only the skin to burn and dry out. This version wasn't completely fatal, even though Lizard Pox wasn't prevalent among the CoN. It was thought that the melting of the cells in the unceasing heat lessened the effects, but the disease was eradicated in 1845 due to a spike in heat and a drought, and so was never able to be studied. By 1850, the disease had calmed down worldwide (except for Gondolinius, but that's next). == Lacertiliitis-Fireplague Meltdown: 1895-1901 == The worst pandemic known to mankind. It began in what was renamed the Great Imperial Quarantine Hospital in central Gondolinius (the site has once again been abandoned, and is no longer owned by the country), where the archaea-bacteria known as fireplague had lain dormant on all the abandoned tools, beds, and especially in the indent in the floor that had once been the One and Only Everlasting Flame. As Lacertiliitis patients flooded in, using all the infected equipment and lying in the fireplague-infested beds, the two diseases began to combine, resulting in the first case of what was known, rather creatively, as "Lacertiliitis-fireplague." The first recorded patient was Appap Nipzap, a dockworker, of southern Gondolinius. He first reported a 106-degree fever - the universal signal of fireplague - and the next day his skin turned red, and he was said to claim it "burned worse than the Fire of the Heavens" (a disease he had, at first, survived). Three days after first reporting a fever, the red receded, turning into small boils that bled. After five days he appeared to be recovering, until he reported the signifying mouth-esophagus-stomach pain that came with Lacertiliitis. After a week, he finally coughed up blood and died. The new mutation spread throughout the hospital faster than even the Fire of the Heavens, apparently being more contagious than any previous strain (spread via touch), leaving only two survivors - very pregnant women - who had a strange natural immunity. Lacertiliitis-fireplague spread slowly south and then trickled through the poorer, non-immune southern Gondolinius population. Before the Gondolinian government could figure out what was happening, thousands of carriers, sick, and healthy alike had boarded boats to Gusmoas and Oralotzo, one of the world's least populated areas. This mass exodus became the downfall of Imperial Gondolinius, but not quite yet. The sick aboard the Gusmoas-bound boats all died on the way, and only four remained and made it to land. They set fire to the boats they came on and as they incorporated themselves into the Silencian population, millions more died. The several dozens remaining declared themselves Gods and fled into the mountains, only to be discovered nearly a century later by the Orsk Federation. Silencio collapsed, utterly and completely, and the land became inhabitable, overrun by plants, weeds, and rabid animals. On Del Sacarmo, which was still dry and dusty from the sandstorms that plagued them almost a thousand years ago, received the refugees with open arms, only to kill three-quarters of the population. Only those in the North survived, quarantining themselves. The Orsk Federation received the disease via shipments from Santa Marino, and only went into lockdown after half of the population had been killed. Sometime during this the disease makes its way to Marricopra, where it kills King Jimmy the Nineteenth (and last), sending the Kingdom into upheaval. By 1896 the whole world is in lockdown, save for Odorslat, which can't sustain itself very well and goes to war. Saldon and Skelmrelm begin a decades-long war over the general control of Odorslat, which is slowly starving to death. Skelmrelm decides to send all of its scientists to the Central Archipelago, and other countries follow suit. The Shrine of the Great Star Lobster becomes a giant lab, with everyone working according to their own time zone schedule so work is always being done. In 1897 a vaccine is created by a team of Skelmish, Altarian, and Sevdroleti scientists. By 1901, the vaccine is distributed worldwide and rebuilding begins. Until the Second End of the World comes. == The Second Apocalypse: 1906 == For a land inhabited by a religious group whose only claim to fame was that they started fires incessantly, there was only one Fire War. There were 12 - exactly twelve, and three were children - members of the Northern Order left. They lived a little North of the We Hate Fire Hospital, in tents, and obsessively lit up random patches of desert. Every year they got more and more mad at the financial support lent to the Southern Order and those who defected from the North, until they were all positively boiling with anger and in 1906 set fire to the capital of Gondolinius. Gondolinius assumed it was Marricopra - as they were prone to do, after the Seventy-Three-and-A-Half-Years War - and declared war on the very weakened kingdom. And then it happened. The fires, as it turned out, were ''still'' full of fireplague - somehow - and within a week both Gondolinius and Marricopra had a full-fledged outbreak on their hands. Gondolinius gave Marricopra a half-hearted apology and then returned to declare war on the Northern Order. But there were only 12 in the Order, and Gondolinius was still angry and so turned on itself and the Southern Order allies in Marricopra. So began the Fire Wars, with the Southern Order lighting anything aflame that stood in their path. At one point, they appeared to be gaining the upper hand, but then half of them came down with the newest Lacertiliitis-fireplague mutation. Though much of the world was vaccinated, the vaccine only worked on the 1895 strain, and those who had had Lizard Pox previously only had a 3-in-5 chance of recovery. From Marricopra the new strain spread to Altar, then to Ashmanschkra. From Gondolinius it went to Gusmoas, Santa Marino, and then to Seseco. Nowhere was safe anymore: the heat couldn't melt the diseased cells, and the cold couldn't kill them. The Fire Wars became an absolute farce, with no real end to them after the Gondolinian Emperor died of the plague. The Order was considered once and for all extinct, though it was rumored that members were still strewn worldwide, lighting fires in secret. Altar was so crippled by the plague and war effort that they consented to being owned by Ashmanschkra for a time. However, the Ashmanschkran government finally collapsed, for once and for all, ruined by internal fighting and the overabundance of Greeg lizards. Sevdrolet was finally overrun by the CoN, but then they all got sick. Sevdrolet had no official government after they all died of the plague, and the CoN retreated into itself, eventually being renamed the HPN. The Odorslatian governments survived; however, both were severely weakened and broke out into a few civil wars that all ended in painful deaths for all parties involved. Gusmoas continued to have no contact with the outside world, becoming increasingly more superstitious and oddly religious, founding the Church of the Party People in the Trees. The Basilica of the Treehouse was built on the ruins of the Palace of Tressene. The mountain people built a massive temple to their founders, which is actually quite beautiful - adorned with intricate carvings, reflecting pools, and floating candles, etc - that still stands today. They call it the First Wonder of the Modern World, and honestly, who can dispute that? Seseco had... problems (see: South Seseco). Oralotzo was almost completely wiped out, but a few thousand survived. They decided to work on re-fertilizing their soil, and only had contact with Skelmrelm. And the Kingdom of Marricopra, ruled by King Bantramus II, finally collapsed. With that ended the world's Second Age, and in 1920, Skelmrelm declared that the Second Apocalypse was over. So began the Third Age. 6747169d2d16785ba036da8759e563752beb016c 383 363 2023-10-09T13:28:59Z Asisi Games Co2 14 wikitext text/x-wiki ''This articles has an issue: ENCYCLOPEDIC TONE and LACK OF OUTSIDE LINKS. Please improve the article for this.'' They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya. Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate the Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and while Eddenarah had the upper hand at first, the Lobsterites gradually improved. When they unified under the name Children of Nephrops then they routed Eddenarah off of the islands. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == ''Main Article: [[Dark Ages]]'' Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish were the Children of Nephrops (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Children of Nephrops (CoN) just to say "HA!" The CoN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The CoN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the CoN's capital. The CoN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The CoN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The CoN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the CoN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the CoN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the CoN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the CoN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the CoN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. South Seseco is also a place of many inventions, the [[Traffic Signal]] (1872, [[Saint Vennes]], [[Deprivique]]), [[Printing Press]] (1450, [[Burges]], [[Grand Duchy of Burges]]) and [[Controlled Access Motorway]] (1913, [[Kvev]], [[Tornobyl]]) were all invented here. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chkyeb]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. The two sides united in 1550 to form the Chkyeb Uniate. Expansion continued eastward. In 1620 a civil war began. ==== The Jenois War of 1620 ==== Jenois was an exclave of people who remained in the Mountain Culture. They called themselves Kruchtevs (a common term used to refer to them in a negative light was "Crookies") and their capital was [[Kauter]]. [[Jenois|Jenois City]], as we know it today was an orsk catholic outpost that spoke Letique. The Kruchtevs were under severe penal laws, below is a basic rundown: * Crookies may not buy land unless the land had been owned by another Crookie. * Crookies may not go to school. * Crookies could not practice religion. * Crookies may only speak Letique. * Crookies may not possess anything that could be used to defend themselves * A maximum of one shop could be opened by a Crookie in any one town. * Crookies could only shop at places owned by Crookies. * Crookies could not ride carriages or own horses. * So on, So forth The first "Crookie Uprising" was actually in 1590 but it failed miserably and half of [[Kauter]] was burned to the ground. In 1620, with help from the [[Tornobyl Arms Association]] they were able to start a revolution in Kauter. The surrounding area was quickly captured and the [[Kruchtev Union]] was declared. They were followed by Deprivique, a region also descriminated against because of their Vizantian Catholic faith. Together the two new nations took over everything east of the Chkyiv Mountains. At home, the Uniate was struggling to keep the peace as a new disease called "Crookpox" (named so because many believed it was a consequence of discriminating against the Kruchtevs) was running rampant throughout the country. The [[Kruchtev Union]], [[Deprivique Republic]] and [[Letoque State]] (Puppet of Deprivique) were given fully recognised independance. ==== Reunited ==== In 1720, Letoque joined Deprivique to create the [[Holy Vizantian Union]]. The [[Kruchtev Union]] united with the [[City State of Tornve]] to create the [[New Kruchtev State]]. In 1722 the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] reunited with the [[Verst Empire]] and in 1723 a war began. ==== War of Letoque (1723 - 1770) ==== On the 3rd September 1723 the 2nd Chkyeb Union declared war on the [[Holy Vizantian Union]] and the [[New Kruchtev State]]. At first, their attack was strong, they took over Tornve and many mountanious regions. But then winter hit. The counteroffensive was described by a verst survivor as "Fast and sharp". They mainly attacked at nigh tand in small numbers. The Verst army was pushed all the way back to Verst. By then Tornobyl joined the war and more reinforcements were coming from allied nations. The war went on like this for 47 years. Then they decided they would better just unite, lest lose anymore lives. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the east (1530): The wast was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Let's start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting each other. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. Deprivique natives originated from somewhere along the [[Vizantus Strait]]. They left their homeland of Dovranland due to a war with some neighboring power. We don't know how long ago this was, but best historians estimate that it was during the Post Flood era. [[File:0e5138d4-7ec9-4f38-9982-3b7a8d3af6d5.jpg|center|thumb|Mural in Petersport depicting the natives of Deprivique leaving their homeland circa 1198]]Deprivique was two kingdoms, the Grand Duchy of Hallem and the Kingdom of Leynes (now Petersport). They united in 748 to form the [[Deprivique Union]]. They were invaded by their neighbour, [[Letoque]] to the north ~912 during the [[Letoque Conquests]]. While they were independant not much notable happened. ===== Jenois ===== Today [[Jenois]] is a disputed canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] (Officially it is part of the canton [[Letoque Jenois]]) It does not have a very unique culture at all, they are basically just people from the Chkyiv Mountains who emmigrated west and met the Letoque people. Something that is notable about them is that they were hit incredibly hard during the Lacertiliitis. Almost three quarters of their population died, half of the remaining emmigrated. The city of Jenois was almost empty by 1900. They repopulated at very impressive rates, and today the region has a population of 1.4 Million. ===== Letoque ===== Letoque is and always was the dominant power in the West. The people of Letoque (Letiquain)'s origins are unknown but we think they came from the same place as the Tornoblites. The capital of Letoque is [[Saint Vennes]]. It is the second most populous canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] but has no city over one million in population. Over it's history Letoque has had a very unique take on land, similar to that of the Russian Empire. This encouraged people to spread out which is why they are significantly less dense than the other cantons. Letoque is home to Jenois, a disputed canton in it's east. Letoque lost land and was eventually destroyed in the [[Letoque Wars]] which lasted from 1610 - 1670 and main belligrents were the Verst Empire and Grand Duchy of Burges (GDB seceded from the Chkyeb Uniate in 1620). ==== Summary ==== South Seseco has had a history of civil wars, disease and violent wars, however it has also had times of prosperity. The "Seseco Golden Age" was the time from 1723 - 1803 both started and ended by war, but during which there was no fighting and instead inventions, discoveries and industrialisation. == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the CoN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The CoN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame, which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the CoN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == For those of you who are too lazy to read: basically the three powers of the Centrius Basin were at war off and on for 73 (and a quarter!) years. This was the last major war of this type, and ended with the CoN regaining control of the islands (for now...). In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the CoN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in late 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the CoN capital, while the CoN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). After half a year of this, all sides realized that this type of warfare was entirely unsustainable, and called a year-and-a-half ceasefire to build up their resources. In 1304 AY, Marricopra launched an assault on Centrius, and held and defended the island for ten years. The CoN was too busy rebuilding its capital for what was at least the third time, and so it was no difficulty for Marricopra to hold back the meager Ashmanschkri army, until 1314, when the CoN rejoined the battle, heading straight for the Marricopran capital. It was the worst destruction the area had seen since the Flood. Marricopra immediately moved backwards to defend their capital, and while the CoN-Marricopra conflict went on in what remained of the Valley of Pryoriya, Ashmanschkra took the islands. Marricopra eventually pushed back the CoN to the far East. The loss from this set of fighting sparked another ceasefire, this one lasting four and a half years. This truce was broken by the CoN, who made their first stab at Ashmanschkra. This time it was successful, and they officially owned the Ashmanschrki army (Sevdrolet refused to join this war. This created a rift in the country, but more on this later) for a time. However, the Army of Ashmanschkra the Inevitable refused to be owned by any other faction, and rebelled against the CoN generals, which put a slight dent in the CoN army, but mostly distracted them from the Marricopra 1326 invasion of Centrius. Marricopra owned the islands for another 5 years, in which the CoN ''and'' Ashmanschkra banded together (ironically) to shove them out, but the Marricopran army was so large they couldn't manage this until 1332, and then Ashmanschkra turned on the CoN, and they fought it out for a few years while Marricopra went back to rebuilding and making poisons from the lizards in the only national reserve, which was overhunted anyway. The longest ceasefire was from 1336-1343, after which Marricopra and the CoN simultaneously pulled support from the Order (both North and South). Ashmanschkra admitted defeat and decided to focus on its quickly worsening relations with the pacifist Sevdrolet. Once the Order got involved, almost everything within view was burned to the ground, Centrius became so inhabitable everyone wondered why they still fought over it, and King Vilassey of Marricopra died in battle, leaving no heirs but his niece, Nichra, who became the first Queen of Marricopra. She had little to no popular support, as she was a woman, but proved to be a brilliant strategist and brought Marricopra to an almost decisive victory at the Fourty-Fifth Battle of Great Nephrops Island, until the southern Order turned on them and Marricopra surrendered and shut its doors to the world. The CoN claimed Centrius, renamed it the Grand Lobster Islands, and the Order went home. In 1374, the Treaty of the Lobsterites was signed (grudgingly) by CoN general Parsley and Queen Nichra, who was at the very least lauded for her dignity in the face of such a crushing defeat. == The Fireplague Epidemic: 1406-1455 == The disease technically began spreading in 1402, but given the slowness of travel at the time, it didn't spread beyond the Great and True (Northern) Order until 1406. The One and Only Everlasting Flame apparently had microbes in them. Harmful ones. And after centuries of humans tending to the fire and its odd microbiome, they latched onto the Arch-Priests, and spread throughout the Mocze Desert's tent cities. It began with the Chief Arch-Priest, Bengellus, burning with a 106 degree fever. The next day, all four other Arch-Priests woke up with the same fever, and Bengellus broke out in hives said to burn "as if the Eternal Fire had itself showered its infernal sparks upon the skin." On the third day, Bengellus began vomiting blood. On the fourth, he died. The four remaining Arch-Priests all exhibited the same symptoms, but not within the same time frame. Hibriz died the day the boils appeared; Porops had a fever for a week and then got the boils and coughed blood (and died) all on the same day; Caprokcil only ever had boils, which lasted a week and a half and then he died with no warning; and Nezrel had a fever for two days, boils for a week and a half, and eventually recovered with only some light scarring. From Nezrel and the other four's caretakers, the disease spread across Mocze without warning and with no cure. Only a quarter of the Northern Order survives, and they start lighting fires in what is by then proto-Gondolinius, which spreads the disease through the southern Order like wildfire, and across the ocean to Marricopra via merchant ships. Marricopra gladly passes this on to the CoN and Ashmansckra via Altar (which has begun to rebel). All the guards on Great Nephrops Island die from the disease, but no one dares go replace them for fear of becoming infected themselves. Centrius goes unclaimed - it is during this time that Sevdrolet goes and unofficially names it the Central Archipelago, and the name sticks. The disease is sent north to Odorslat, but very few die as the cold climate cannot sustain the archaea-bacteria [''and yes, I'm basing the vaguely scientific nature of fireplague off of my 7th grade science class'']. What little of the disease can spread makes its way to Del Sacarmo/KoPWARToD, where it eventually dies out but destabilizes the colonial government enough for a complete overhaul, leaving the native [[Oralotzo|Oralians]] to kill the government and begin to rule themselves. After killing about a fifth of the Marricopran population (including the monarch, but they had a direct heir), more than half of Mocze, and a sixth of the rest of the world, the disease eventually dies down in 1455, as the population had naturally immunized itself, save for a few sparse outbreaks in remote areas. == The War of the Chicken Pie: 1507-1509 == In 1507 AY, what remained of the KoPWARToD (a small scrap of land on Seseco; now Hakha Rakhine) held the First (and only) International Baking Competition, inviting famous bakers worldwide. Among them were Gondolinius's Oragor Mentaylis, who owned the World's Largest Bakery (and nobody dared fight him on that); Sevdrolet's Jimalangang Kobrob; and the KoPWARToD's King Ercal Bogefayal, whose alliance was to the Rakhine rebellion brewing up north. Upon his winning the competition, the judges had no idea what country to award the top prize to, and so (as is, of course, usual) war was declared between the KoPWARToD and Hakha Rakhine. Marricopra threw themselves into the war, angry over the loss of Ashmanschkra and Centrius centuries before (and from getting last place in the competition), and led by Queen Ingelle "the Mad." They quickly drew out after the mysterious death of Ingelle and the ascension of King Billy Bob the Sixth, who gave the KoPWARToD several million dollars in reparations and an apology letter. What remained of the Northern Order finally wiped themselves out by throwing themselves and their disease-ridden bodies into the war. This ended with the Treaty of the Kitchen, the formation of Hakha Rakhine and the final dissolution of the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and the subsequent breakout of fireplague across Seseco. == The Second Fireplague Epidemic: 1509-1576 == The Seseco epidemic ended within a few months (see: the first fireplague epidemic and how that worked on Odorslat), but spread back south to Mocze via merchants from Santa Marino and then to Gondolinius, who sent diseased persons to Silencio and Marricopra out of spite (remember - they had their beginnings as religious fanatics). The two almost declared war in return, but then half of their armies fell ill and they decided otherwise. This epidemic went off and on for the next seventy years, with each breakout having epicenters in oddly diverse places, among them being the new Hakha Rakhine, the southernmost 2 blocks of a city in Odorslat, and Croissant Island. This epidemic ended with the Blizzard to End All Blizzards, which lasted exactly 3 days but was enough to kill the archaea-bacteria worldwide. The disease was confined to the We Hate Fire Quarantine Hospital, which was set up in the Mocze desert over the original site of the fire to ensure no one lighted it again. I would say there was peace from here on out, but there isn't, because this was when I remembered that tectonic plates were a thing. == The Split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet: 1599 and a couple years after that == The large, desert-y island of Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet, named after the two people groups that lived there, was situated on a fault line that became more precarious with each year after the Flood, until it finally broke apart during an earthquake and tsunami just south of the Central Archipelago, creating an event known as the Mini-Flood. The country officially became two (it had been threatening to become so for a while), with Ashmanschkra becoming the war peoples of the west, eagerly helping Altar break from Marricopra, though the Altarians themselves didn't care too much as Marricopra provided financial support. Sevdrolet was a nation of pacifists, and remained strictly neutral in all the Central Basin conflicts, though it formed close ties with the CoN. They became known for their art, and hated being invaded. However, seeing as they had no army, this happened over and over despite their declaring independence and creating more and more statues of famous Sevdroletis, which no one cared to take down as they actually looked quite good. The world began to be split over "do you support Ashmanschkra or Sevdrolet?" but as neither nation had the patience to fight the other, it all came to naught and everyone stopped caring, because the islands had moved into such a location to be perfect for beach vacations and millions flooded there. == The Economic Collapse of 1684 == After a little less than a century of relative-but-not-really peace, war in Skelmrelm completely demolished the economy of said country, bringing upon general economic collapse worldwide, as just about everyone depended on Skelmrelm for one reason or another. Does this name sound unfamiliar? Odorslat had, during this time, undergone yet another civil war that led to its renaming. The citizens were relieved that they were at least not called Knitted-Socks-ians. Skelmrelm during this time had moved past Marricopra in terms of GDP (and, in some areas, development) and become the new world epicenter, especially for the north. Gondolinius still considered Marricopra their main provider, however, and Silencio found the Kingdom easier to access. However, whatever petty disputes they had became unimportant in the face of total annihilation of all they'd worked for. However, with the discovery of oil deposits on Sevdrolet, the world economy slowly rebuilt as nations focused southward, and then back North after the Skelmrelm war ended. By 1690, the world economy had generally stabilized. == The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat == This is why the mountains have two main ranges. However, though the epicenter of this was in the mountains, aftershocks were so strong in the capital (on that bay just south of them) that it was completely demolished. This created a political split over who should rule where and how they should rebuild, and effectively ended the Republic of Odorslat as it was known. War broke out over the ruins of Odorslat-Priyoria, ending with the Treaty of What's Left of Priyoriya that split the country in four: Skelmrelm, the Republic of Saldon, the Kingdom of the Remnant, and the Spire Realm. The Kingdom of the Remnant was basically a puppet state of both Saldon and Skelmrelm, but at different times, seeing as it was located on the ruins of Priyoriya and only populated by a few thousand, mostly scholars and archaeologists there to study and preserve what was left of the city. Odorslat once again was no longer a world power, and Silencio began to compete with Marricopra for the title of highest GDP, until the 1794 Marricopran Revolution (see: [[The We're Sick of King Salamandario Revolution]]), after which the country turned inward to sort out its own problems. By 1799, the world was caught in a precarious balance between Skelmrelm and Silencio, as they had no access to Marricopra's resources (except for Sevdrolet, which the Kingdom just couldn't ignore). This resulted in a slight dip in the economy ~1800, but it eventually stabilized as Silencio began to compensate, and finally Marricopra (which had at last rid itself of Altar) reentered the world, about half the size it had been before. == Lacertiliitis: 1837-1850 == The disease began among the thousands of lizard species found at Great Lacertilia National Park. Still no one knows exactly which species spread it to humans, but the story goes like this: shopowner Tylline Tortatolus and his family visited the park in Firbicus 1837, and three weeks after returning, his wife died. Within the next two days, both of his children complained of pain in their mouth, throat, and stomach. Two days later, they died. Tylline lasted long enough to tell his neighbors of the strange occurrence, and then died in the home of musician Vollus Senddarry. The disease spread from the Senddarry household across the small town of Markpinne. The disease made it via caravan to the capital, and spread quickly through the population there. Then-Queen Nichra III soon realized what was happening and enforced a quarantine in the northeast part of the city, but not before boats carrying timber - the country's main resource - had reached Saldon, Gondolinius, and Oralotzo, spreading the disease there too. Soon testing was performed in the King Jimmy Central Hospital, and it was found that the disease turned one's saliva to hydrochloric acid. Scientists worldwide set to work creating a vaccine, but the most they could do was prevent death, though not entirely. Certain anomalies were found in the poorer parts of the city, where most of the population had already gone through a bout of Lizard Pox, a non-fatal disease spread by the Greeg lizard. Those who had already had the Pox were naturally immune to the disease - named Lacertiliitis after the park where it originated - and so many were hired on as doctors or even merely recipients of tests. They were paid by the government for their trouble, and often hired and paid ridiculous amounts of money to take over positions unstaffed because of the epidemic. Throughout the rest of the world scientists worked aggressively on creating a vaccine, or, in the case of Ashmanschkra, spreading Lizard Pox to as many citizens as possible. Because of this, most of the population had a natural immunity to Lacertiliitis by 1848. It is considered one of the most effective public health initiatives to date. Saldon and Skelmrelm teamed up to create a semi-effective vaccine, which forced out the virus by the second day, often leaving people on the brink of death but at least alive. They took to spreading numbing shots among their population, which at least prevented the pain caused from the acidic saliva. The vaccine was spread with the Kingdom of the Remnant, which consented to being absorbed into Skelmrelm, but the Spire Realm told themselves they could "handle this." They were all dead in three weeks. Gondolinius learned to work with the disease, and the hot climate created its first mutation, spread by melted cells. This resulted in a burning sensation throughout the body, which the Southern Order (now a strong theo-political presence in the area) promoted as a religious experience, not knowing how deadly the disease was. Lacertiliitis and the "Fire of the Heavens" mutation spread even more rapidly throughout Gondolinius and eventually to the abandoned We Hate Fire Hospital, which still had the remains of fireplague all over it. The Imperialist Party of Gondolinius set up an initiative to promote the quarantining of sick individuals. The Southern Order fought back against this relentlessly, creating a split in the general population over whether or not the "Fire of the Heavens" phenomena was a religious experience or a serious medical condition. Those who considered it religious were eventually put in a mental hospital during the Second Apocalypse, and the rest ran away to the desert. That aside, the disease died out in the urban parts of Gondolinius, but thrived in the rural areas around the Fireplague hospital, which created it's own problem, but more on that later... In the CoN, where the disease was spread from Marricopra via Sevdrolet and the oilfield workers there, the disease also mutated, creating something similar to the "Fire of the Heavens" bacteria, but instead causing only the skin to burn and dry out. This version wasn't completely fatal, even though Lizard Pox wasn't prevalent among the CoN. It was thought that the melting of the cells in the unceasing heat lessened the effects, but the disease was eradicated in 1845 due to a spike in heat and a drought, and so was never able to be studied. By 1850, the disease had calmed down worldwide (except for Gondolinius, but that's next). == Lacertiliitis-Fireplague Meltdown: 1895-1901 == The worst pandemic known to mankind. It began in what was renamed the Great Imperial Quarantine Hospital in central Gondolinius (the site has once again been abandoned, and is no longer owned by the country), where the archaea-bacteria known as fireplague had lain dormant on all the abandoned tools, beds, and especially in the indent in the floor that had once been the One and Only Everlasting Flame. As Lacertiliitis patients flooded in, using all the infected equipment and lying in the fireplague-infested beds, the two diseases began to combine, resulting in the first case of what was known, rather creatively, as "Lacertiliitis-fireplague." The first recorded patient was Appap Nipzap, a dockworker, of southern Gondolinius. He first reported a 106-degree fever - the universal signal of fireplague - and the next day his skin turned red, and he was said to claim it "burned worse than the Fire of the Heavens" (a disease he had, at first, survived). Three days after first reporting a fever, the red receded, turning into small boils that bled. After five days he appeared to be recovering, until he reported the signifying mouth-esophagus-stomach pain that came with Lacertiliitis. After a week, he finally coughed up blood and died. The new mutation spread throughout the hospital faster than even the Fire of the Heavens, apparently being more contagious than any previous strain (spread via touch), leaving only two survivors - very pregnant women - who had a strange natural immunity. Lacertiliitis-fireplague spread slowly south and then trickled through the poorer, non-immune southern Gondolinius population. Before the Gondolinian government could figure out what was happening, thousands of carriers, sick, and healthy alike had boarded boats to Gusmoas and Oralotzo, one of the world's least populated areas. This mass exodus became the downfall of Imperial Gondolinius, but not quite yet. The sick aboard the Gusmoas-bound boats all died on the way, and only four remained and made it to land. They set fire to the boats they came on and as they incorporated themselves into the Silencian population, millions more died. The several dozens remaining declared themselves Gods and fled into the mountains, only to be discovered nearly a century later by the Orsk Federation. Silencio collapsed, utterly and completely, and the land became inhabitable, overrun by plants, weeds, and rabid animals. On Del Sacarmo, which was still dry and dusty from the sandstorms that plagued them almost a thousand years ago, received the refugees with open arms, only to kill three-quarters of the population. Only those in the North survived, quarantining themselves. The Orsk Federation received the disease via shipments from Santa Marino, and only went into lockdown after half of the population had been killed. Sometime during this the disease makes its way to Marricopra, where it kills King Jimmy the Nineteenth (and last), sending the Kingdom into upheaval. By 1896 the whole world is in lockdown, save for Odorslat, which can't sustain itself very well and goes to war. Saldon and Skelmrelm begin a decades-long war over the general control of Odorslat, which is slowly starving to death. Skelmrelm decides to send all of its scientists to the Central Archipelago, and other countries follow suit. The Shrine of the Great Star Lobster becomes a giant lab, with everyone working according to their own time zone schedule so work is always being done. In 1897 a vaccine is created by a team of Skelmish, Altarian, and Sevdroleti scientists. By 1901, the vaccine is distributed worldwide and rebuilding begins. Until the Second End of the World comes. == The Second Apocalypse: 1906 == For a land inhabited by a religious group whose only claim to fame was that they started fires incessantly, there was only one Fire War. There were 12 - exactly twelve, and three were children - members of the Northern Order left. They lived a little North of the We Hate Fire Hospital, in tents, and obsessively lit up random patches of desert. Every year they got more and more mad at the financial support lent to the Southern Order and those who defected from the North, until they were all positively boiling with anger and in 1906 set fire to the capital of Gondolinius. Gondolinius assumed it was Marricopra - as they were prone to do, after the Seventy-Three-and-A-Half-Years War - and declared war on the very weakened kingdom. And then it happened. The fires, as it turned out, were ''still'' full of fireplague - somehow - and within a week both Gondolinius and Marricopra had a full-fledged outbreak on their hands. Gondolinius gave Marricopra a half-hearted apology and then returned to declare war on the Northern Order. But there were only 12 in the Order, and Gondolinius was still angry and so turned on itself and the Southern Order allies in Marricopra. So began the Fire Wars, with the Southern Order lighting anything aflame that stood in their path. At one point, they appeared to be gaining the upper hand, but then half of them came down with the newest Lacertiliitis-fireplague mutation. Though much of the world was vaccinated, the vaccine only worked on the 1895 strain, and those who had had Lizard Pox previously only had a 3-in-5 chance of recovery. From Marricopra the new strain spread to Altar, then to Ashmanschkra. From Gondolinius it went to Gusmoas, Santa Marino, and then to Seseco. Nowhere was safe anymore: the heat couldn't melt the diseased cells, and the cold couldn't kill them. The Fire Wars became an absolute farce, with no real end to them after the Gondolinian Emperor died of the plague. The Order was considered once and for all extinct, though it was rumored that members were still strewn worldwide, lighting fires in secret. Altar was so crippled by the plague and war effort that they consented to being owned by Ashmanschkra for a time. However, the Ashmanschkran government finally collapsed, for once and for all, ruined by internal fighting and the overabundance of Greeg lizards. Sevdrolet was finally overrun by the CoN, but then they all got sick. Sevdrolet had no official government after they all died of the plague, and the CoN retreated into itself, eventually being renamed the HPN. The Odorslatian governments survived; however, both were severely weakened and broke out into a few civil wars that all ended in painful deaths for all parties involved. Gusmoas continued to have no contact with the outside world, becoming increasingly more superstitious and oddly religious, founding the Church of the Party People in the Trees. The Basilica of the Treehouse was built on the ruins of the Palace of Tressene. The mountain people built a massive temple to their founders, which is actually quite beautiful - adorned with intricate carvings, reflecting pools, and floating candles, etc - that still stands today. They call it the First Wonder of the Modern World, and honestly, who can dispute that? Seseco had... problems (see: South Seseco). Oralotzo was almost completely wiped out, but a few thousand survived. They decided to work on re-fertilizing their soil, and only had contact with Skelmrelm. And the Kingdom of Marricopra, ruled by King Bantramus II, finally collapsed. With that ended the world's Second Age, and in 1920, Skelmrelm declared that the Second Apocalypse was over. So began the Third Age.

For information on the Skelmish colony of Mocze, go to [[Mocze (colony)]].'' Mocze is a continent. It is south of Seseco and north of Gusmoas. == History == === Prehistory === Scientists believe that modern-day humans evolved in what is now the Skelmish colony of Mocze. === Dark Ages and After === In the [[Dark Ages]] (543-826 AY) the people of Mocze were very religious, believing in an animistic religion that most likely is the ancestor of the modern religions in the area. Around 992, these people began a tradition of lighting bonfires and became very barbaric. In 1208 AY, the Order of the Everlasting Fire split Mocze into two areas (now [[Worsh]] and [[Santa Marino]]). ==== The Fireplague Epidemics ==== Between 1402 and 1455, the nation was hard-hit by the Fireplague Epidemic. The pandemic ended in 1455 but came back for between 1509 and 1576, right after the [[War of the Chicken Pie.|War of the Chicken Pie]]. == Geography == The southern and central area of Mocze, mainly in [[Worsh]] and [[Skelmrelm]], is a large desert that produces oil. The western area is taken up by the [[Jhaivan Republic]], and produces gravel. Gravel is also produced in the north-eastern Worsh area of the desert. [[Chechnyoslovenia]] takes up some of the south-eastern forest, and the northern colonial areas of [[Skelmrelm]] and [[Saldon]] also contain forests. The far northern tip is the nation of [[Santa Marino]].

Hence, the name "Norreik" meaning Northern Realm. Its history gets more complex. It borders [[Hakha Rakhine]], [[Chkeyb State]], and the [[Orsk Federation]]. == History == ====Pre-12 times==== The Kingdom of Norreik used to be an area of 20 warring states fighting for supremacy and a bucket of grapes. They made grapes the "holy fruit," so when a thief ate 5 holy grapes from the shared bucket, everyone, not knowing where the thief came from, blamed each other for eating the HGs. Later, 5 of the 20 states decided to make a union that would "last forever". This is where the Hösaamiś Union came from. ====The Hösaamiś Union==== The Hösaaamiś Union was made up of 5 states that had the "holiest of grapes." They later conquered 3 chiefdoms in the north. ====The House of Travösc==== The House of Travösc took over the HU and further conquered the north. ====Union of the 10 Nortsciss==== The U10N was run by the HT as a way to maintain stability in the region. They then conquered the Far North. [[File:Screenshot 2023-09-10 5.51.40 PM.png|thumb|390x390px|Province map]] ====Di Mark==== The HT was overthrown and a loose confederation was formed. Shortly after, the Verst empire took the lands that once connected the western parts and the old HU lands. ====The Istuća Monarchy==== The IM was the old HU but rebirthed. It overthrew the confederation party and reconquered some land that they lost to the Verst Empire. ====Travösc Restoration==== The HT was returned to the throne after the Istuća Monarchy was toppled. Sadly, it didn't last until the mid 20th century AY, as communists started forcing the HT off. ====Communist Norreik==== [[File:Screenshot 2023-09-10 5.52.32 PM.png|thumb|Resources gained]] The Norreik Communist Party (NCP) was the ruling faction in another loose confederation, but unlike Di Mark, the NCP's government was much more unorganized and was later overridden by the HT. ====Modern day Norreik==== As of 1970 AY, Norreik is a stable kingdom in its own right. Like the Orsk, the Nors flag uses a cross that's more to the left. Its ruling party is the House of Travösc from centuries prior == Poltical Parties == Monarchist Norreik (MN) Communist Norreik (CN) Free State of Istuca (FSI) [[Category:Countries]] 8a51fe7efc837b4b8c141ad77030648530cac4c2 0 4 381 241 2023-10-09T13:28:14Z Asisi Games Co2 14 wikitext text/x-wiki [[File:Screenshot 2023-08-27 at 12-19-51 Flag Designer.png|left|thumb|Flag of the Orsk Federation]] [[File:Screenshot 2023-09-10 at 14-44-02 Scratch - Orsk Federation (CC70).png|left|thumb|Map of the Orsk Federation, January 1970]] {| class="wikitable" |+ |} {| class="wikitable" |- !

As of the last update to the summit the cantons were [[Deprivique]], [[Tornve|Tornobyl]], [[Druktyiv]] and [[Letoque Jenois]] ([[Jenois]] joined [[Letoque]] in 1965) The federal territory is a type of canton with '''no regional government and is instead managed by the federal government.'''

Please improve the article for this.'' They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya. Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate the Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and while Eddenarah had the upper hand at first, the Lobsterites gradually improved. When they unified under the name Children of Nephrops then they routed Eddenarah off of the islands. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == ''Main Article: [[Dark Ages]]'' Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish were the Children of Nephrops (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Children of Nephrops (CoN) just to say "HA!" The CoN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The CoN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the CoN's capital. The CoN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The CoN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The CoN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the CoN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the CoN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the CoN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the CoN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the CoN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. South Seseco is also a place of many inventions, the [[Traffic Signal]] (1872, [[Saint Vennes]], [[Deprivique]]), [[Printing Press]] (1450, [[Burges]], [[Grand Duchy of Burges]]) and [[Controlled Access Motorway]] (1913, [[Kvev]], [[Tornobyl]]) were all invented here. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chkyeb]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. The two sides united in 1550 to form the Chkyeb Uniate. Expansion continued eastward. In 1620 a civil war began. ==== The Jenois War of 1620 ==== Jenois was an exclave of people who remained in the Mountain Culture. They called themselves Kruchtevs (a common term used to refer to them in a negative light was "Crookies") and their capital was [[Kauter]]. [[Jenois|Jenois City]], as we know it today was an orsk catholic outpost that spoke Letique. The Kruchtevs were under severe penal laws, below is a basic rundown: * Crookies may not buy land unless the land had been owned by another Crookie. * Crookies may not go to school. * Crookies could not practice religion. * Crookies may only speak Letique. * Crookies may not possess anything that could be used to defend themselves * A maximum of one shop could be opened by a Crookie in any one town. * Crookies could only shop at places owned by Crookies. * Crookies could not ride carriages or own horses. * So on, So forth The first "Crookie Uprising" was actually in 1590 but it failed miserably and half of [[Kauter]] was burned to the ground. In 1620, with help from the [[Tornobyl Arms Association]] they were able to start a revolution in Kauter. The surrounding area was quickly captured and the [[Kruchtev Union]] was declared. They were followed by Deprivique, a region also descriminated against because of their Vizantian Catholic faith. Together the two new nations took over everything east of the Chkyiv Mountains. At home, the Uniate was struggling to keep the peace as a new disease called "Crookpox" (named so because many believed it was a consequence of discriminating against the Kruchtevs) was running rampant throughout the country. The [[Kruchtev Union]], [[Deprivique Republic]] and [[Letoque State]] (Puppet of Deprivique) were given fully recognised independance. ==== Reunited ==== In 1720, Letoque joined Deprivique to create the [[Holy Vizantian Union]]. The [[Kruchtev Union]] united with the [[City State of Tornve]] to create the [[New Kruchtev State]]. In 1722 the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] reunited with the [[Verst Empire]] and in 1723 a war began. ==== War of Letoque (1723 - 1770) ==== On the 3rd September 1723 the 2nd Chkyeb Union declared war on the [[Holy Vizantian Union]] and the [[New Kruchtev State]]. At first, their attack was strong, they took over Tornve and many mountanious regions. But then winter hit. The counteroffensive was described by a verst survivor as "Fast and sharp". They mainly attacked at nigh tand in small numbers. The Verst army was pushed all the way back to Verst. By then Tornobyl joined the war and more reinforcements were coming from allied nations. The war went on like this for 47 years. Then they decided they would better just unite, lest lose anymore lives. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the east (1530): The wast was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Let's start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting each other. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. Deprivique natives originated from somewhere along the [[Vizantus Strait]]. They left their homeland of Dovranland due to a war with some neighboring power. We don't know how long ago this was, but best historians estimate that it was during the Post Flood era. [[File:0e5138d4-7ec9-4f38-9982-3b7a8d3af6d5.jpg|center|thumb|Mural in Petersport depicting the natives of Deprivique leaving their homeland circa 1198]]Deprivique was two kingdoms, the Grand Duchy of Hallem and the Kingdom of Leynes (now Petersport). They united in 748 to form the [[Deprivique Union]]. They were invaded by their neighbour, [[Letoque]] to the north ~912 during the [[Letoque Conquests]]. While they were independant not much notable happened. ===== Jenois ===== Today [[Jenois]] is a disputed canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] (Officially it is part of the canton [[Letoque Jenois]]) It does not have a very unique culture at all, they are basically just people from the Chkyiv Mountains who emmigrated west and met the Letoque people. Something that is notable about them is that they were hit incredibly hard during the Lacertiliitis. Almost three quarters of their population died, half of the remaining emmigrated. The city of Jenois was almost empty by 1900. They repopulated at very impressive rates, and today the region has a population of 1.4 Million. ===== Letoque ===== Letoque is and always was the dominant power in the West. The people of Letoque (Letiquain)'s origins are unknown but we think they came from the same place as the Tornoblites. The capital of Letoque is [[Saint Vennes]]. It is the second most populous canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] but has no city over one million in population. Over it's history Letoque has had a very unique take on land, similar to that of the Russian Empire. This encouraged people to spread out which is why they are significantly less dense than the other cantons. Letoque is home to Jenois, a disputed canton in it's east. Letoque lost land and was eventually destroyed in the [[Letoque Wars]] which lasted from 1610 - 1670 and main belligrents were the Verst Empire and Grand Duchy of Burges (GDB seceded from the Chkyeb Uniate in 1620). ==== Summary ==== South Seseco has had a history of civil wars, disease and violent wars, however it has also had times of prosperity. The "Seseco Golden Age" was the time from 1723 - 1803 both started and ended by war, but during which there was no fighting and instead inventions, discoveries and industrialisation. == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the CoN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The CoN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame, which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the CoN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == For those of you who are too lazy to read: basically the three powers of the Centrius Basin were at war off and on for 73 (and a quarter!) years. This was the last major war of this type, and ended with the CoN regaining control of the islands (for now...). In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the CoN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in late 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the CoN capital, while the CoN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). After half a year of this, all sides realized that this type of warfare was entirely unsustainable, and called a year-and-a-half ceasefire to build up their resources. In 1304 AY, Marricopra launched an assault on Centrius, and held and defended the island for ten years. The CoN was too busy rebuilding its capital for what was at least the third time, and so it was no difficulty for Marricopra to hold back the meager Ashmanschkri army, until 1314, when the CoN rejoined the battle, heading straight for the Marricopran capital. It was the worst destruction the area had seen since the Flood. Marricopra immediately moved backwards to defend their capital, and while the CoN-Marricopra conflict went on in what remained of the Valley of Pryoriya, Ashmanschkra took the islands. Marricopra eventually pushed back the CoN to the far East. The loss from this set of fighting sparked another ceasefire, this one lasting four and a half years. This truce was broken by the CoN, who made their first stab at Ashmanschkra. This time it was successful, and they officially owned the Ashmanschrki army (Sevdrolet refused to join this war. This created a rift in the country, but more on this later) for a time. However, the Army of Ashmanschkra the Inevitable refused to be owned by any other faction, and rebelled against the CoN generals, which put a slight dent in the CoN army, but mostly distracted them from the Marricopra 1326 invasion of Centrius. Marricopra owned the islands for another 5 years, in which the CoN ''and'' Ashmanschkra banded together (ironically) to shove them out, but the Marricopran army was so large they couldn't manage this until 1332, and then Ashmanschkra turned on the CoN, and they fought it out for a few years while Marricopra went back to rebuilding and making poisons from the lizards in the only national reserve, which was overhunted anyway. The longest ceasefire was from 1336-1343, after which Marricopra and the CoN simultaneously pulled support from the Order (both North and South). Ashmanschkra admitted defeat and decided to focus on its quickly worsening relations with the pacifist Sevdrolet. Once the Order got involved, almost everything within view was burned to the ground, Centrius became so inhabitable everyone wondered why they still fought over it, and King Vilassey of Marricopra died in battle, leaving no heirs but his niece, Nichra, who became the first Queen of Marricopra. She had little to no popular support, as she was a woman, but proved to be a brilliant strategist and brought Marricopra to an almost decisive victory at the Fourty-Fifth Battle of Great Nephrops Island, until the southern Order turned on them and Marricopra surrendered and shut its doors to the world. The CoN claimed Centrius, renamed it the Grand Lobster Islands, and the Order went home. In 1374, the Treaty of the Lobsterites was signed (grudgingly) by CoN general Parsley and Queen Nichra, who was at the very least lauded for her dignity in the face of such a crushing defeat. == The Fireplague Epidemic: 1406-1455 == The disease technically began spreading in 1402, but given the slowness of travel at the time, it didn't spread beyond the Great and True (Northern) Order until 1406. The One and Only Everlasting Flame apparently had microbes in them. Harmful ones. And after centuries of humans tending to the fire and its odd microbiome, they latched onto the Arch-Priests, and spread throughout the Mocze Desert's tent cities. It began with the Chief Arch-Priest, Bengellus, burning with a 106 degree fever. The next day, all four other Arch-Priests woke up with the same fever, and Bengellus broke out in hives said to burn "as if the Eternal Fire had itself showered its infernal sparks upon the skin." On the third day, Bengellus began vomiting blood. On the fourth, he died. The four remaining Arch-Priests all exhibited the same symptoms, but not within the same time frame. Hibriz died the day the boils appeared; Porops had a fever for a week and then got the boils and coughed blood (and died) all on the same day; Caprokcil only ever had boils, which lasted a week and a half and then he died with no warning; and Nezrel had a fever for two days, boils for a week and a half, and eventually recovered with only some light scarring. From Nezrel and the other four's caretakers, the disease spread across Mocze without warning and with no cure. Only a quarter of the Northern Order survives, and they start lighting fires in what is by then proto-Gondolinius, which spreads the disease through the southern Order like wildfire, and across the ocean to Marricopra via merchant ships. Marricopra gladly passes this on to the CoN and Ashmansckra via Altar (which has begun to rebel). All the guards on Great Nephrops Island die from the disease, but no one dares go replace them for fear of becoming infected themselves. Centrius goes unclaimed - it is during this time that Sevdrolet goes and unofficially names it the Central Archipelago, and the name sticks. The disease is sent north to Odorslat, but very few die as the cold climate cannot sustain the archaea-bacteria [''and yes, I'm basing the vaguely scientific nature of fireplague off of my 7th grade science class'']. What little of the disease can spread makes its way to Del Sacarmo/KoPWARToD, where it eventually dies out but destabilizes the colonial government enough for a complete overhaul, leaving the native [[Oralotzo|Oralians]] to kill the government and begin to rule themselves. After killing about a fifth of the Marricopran population (including the monarch, but they had a direct heir), more than half of Mocze, and a sixth of the rest of the world, the disease eventually dies down in 1455, as the population had naturally immunized itself, save for a few sparse outbreaks in remote areas. == The War of the Chicken Pie: 1507-1509 == ''Main Article: [[War of the Chicken Pie]]'' In 1507 AY, what remained of the KoPWARToD (a small scrap of land on Seseco; now Hakha Rakhine) held the First (and only) International Baking Competition, inviting famous bakers worldwide. Among them were Gondolinius's Oragor Mentaylis, who owned the World's Largest Bakery (and nobody dared fight him on that); Sevdrolet's Jimalangang Kobrob; and the KoPWARToD's King Ercal Bogefayal, whose alliance was to the Rakhine rebellion brewing up north. Upon his winning the competition, the judges had no idea what country to award the top prize to, and so (as is, of course, usual) war was declared between the KoPWARToD and Hakha Rakhine. Marricopra threw themselves into the war, angry over the loss of Ashmanschkra and Centrius centuries before (and from getting last place in the competition), and led by Queen Ingelle "the Mad." They quickly drew out after the mysterious death of Ingelle and the ascension of King Billy Bob the Sixth, who gave the KoPWARToD several million dollars in reparations and an apology letter. What remained of the Northern Order finally wiped themselves out by throwing themselves and their disease-ridden bodies into the war. This ended with the Treaty of the Kitchen, the formation of Hakha Rakhine and the final dissolution of the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and the subsequent breakout of fireplague across Seseco. == The Second Fireplague Epidemic: 1509-1576 == The Seseco epidemic ended within a few months (see: the first fireplague epidemic and how that worked on Odorslat), but spread back south to Mocze via merchants from Santa Marino and then to Gondolinius, who sent diseased persons to Silencio and Marricopra out of spite (remember - they had their beginnings as religious fanatics). The two almost declared war in return, but then half of their armies fell ill and they decided otherwise. This epidemic went off and on for the next seventy years, with each breakout having epicenters in oddly diverse places, among them being the new Hakha Rakhine, the southernmost 2 blocks of a city in Odorslat, and Croissant Island. This epidemic ended with the Blizzard to End All Blizzards, which lasted exactly 3 days but was enough to kill the archaea-bacteria worldwide. The disease was confined to the We Hate Fire Quarantine Hospital, which was set up in the Mocze desert over the original site of the fire to ensure no one lighted it again. I would say there was peace from here on out, but there isn't, because this was when I remembered that tectonic plates were a thing. == The Split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet: 1599 and a couple years after that == The large, desert-y island of Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet, named after the two people groups that lived there, was situated on a fault line that became more precarious with each year after the Flood, until it finally broke apart during an earthquake and tsunami just south of the Central Archipelago, creating an event known as the Mini-Flood. The country officially became two (it had been threatening to become so for a while), with Ashmanschkra becoming the war peoples of the west, eagerly helping Altar break from Marricopra, though the Altarians themselves didn't care too much as Marricopra provided financial support. Sevdrolet was a nation of pacifists, and remained strictly neutral in all the Central Basin conflicts, though it formed close ties with the CoN. They became known for their art, and hated being invaded. However, seeing as they had no army, this happened over and over despite their declaring independence and creating more and more statues of famous Sevdroletis, which no one cared to take down as they actually looked quite good. The world began to be split over "do you support Ashmanschkra or Sevdrolet?" but as neither nation had the patience to fight the other, it all came to naught and everyone stopped caring, because the islands had moved into such a location to be perfect for beach vacations and millions flooded there. == The Economic Collapse of 1684 == After a little less than a century of relative-but-not-really peace, war in Skelmrelm completely demolished the economy of said country, bringing upon general economic collapse worldwide, as just about everyone depended on Skelmrelm for one reason or another. Does this name sound unfamiliar? Odorslat had, during this time, undergone yet another civil war that led to its renaming. The citizens were relieved that they were at least not called Knitted-Socks-ians. Skelmrelm during this time had moved past Marricopra in terms of GDP (and, in some areas, development) and become the new world epicenter, especially for the north. Gondolinius still considered Marricopra their main provider, however, and Silencio found the Kingdom easier to access. However, whatever petty disputes they had became unimportant in the face of total annihilation of all they'd worked for. However, with the discovery of oil deposits on Sevdrolet, the world economy slowly rebuilt as nations focused southward, and then back North after the Skelmrelm war ended. By 1690, the world economy had generally stabilized. == The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat == This is why the mountains have two main ranges. However, though the epicenter of this was in the mountains, aftershocks were so strong in the capital (on that bay just south of them) that it was completely demolished. This created a political split over who should rule where and how they should rebuild, and effectively ended the Republic of Odorslat as it was known. War broke out over the ruins of Odorslat-Priyoria, ending with the Treaty of What's Left of Priyoriya that split the country in four: Skelmrelm, the Republic of Saldon, the Kingdom of the Remnant, and the Spire Realm. The Kingdom of the Remnant was basically a puppet state of both Saldon and Skelmrelm, but at different times, seeing as it was located on the ruins of Priyoriya and only populated by a few thousand, mostly scholars and archaeologists there to study and preserve what was left of the city. Odorslat once again was no longer a world power, and Silencio began to compete with Marricopra for the title of highest GDP, until the 1794 Marricopran Revolution (see: [[The We're Sick of King Salamandario Revolution]]), after which the country turned inward to sort out its own problems. By 1799, the world was caught in a precarious balance between Skelmrelm and Silencio, as they had no access to Marricopra's resources (except for Sevdrolet, which the Kingdom just couldn't ignore). This resulted in a slight dip in the economy ~1800, but it eventually stabilized as Silencio began to compensate, and finally Marricopra (which had at last rid itself of Altar) reentered the world, about half the size it had been before. == Lacertiliitis: 1837-1850 == The disease began among the thousands of lizard species found at Great Lacertilia National Park. Still no one knows exactly which species spread it to humans, but the story goes like this: shopowner Tylline Tortatolus and his family visited the park in Firbicus 1837, and three weeks after returning, his wife died. Within the next two days, both of his children complained of pain in their mouth, throat, and stomach. Two days later, they died. Tylline lasted long enough to tell his neighbors of the strange occurrence, and then died in the home of musician Vollus Senddarry. The disease spread from the Senddarry household across the small town of Markpinne. The disease made it via caravan to the capital, and spread quickly through the population there. Then-Queen Nichra III soon realized what was happening and enforced a quarantine in the northeast part of the city, but not before boats carrying timber - the country's main resource - had reached Saldon, Gondolinius, and Oralotzo, spreading the disease there too. Soon testing was performed in the King Jimmy Central Hospital, and it was found that the disease turned one's saliva to hydrochloric acid. Scientists worldwide set to work creating a vaccine, but the most they could do was prevent death, though not entirely. Certain anomalies were found in the poorer parts of the city, where most of the population had already gone through a bout of Lizard Pox, a non-fatal disease spread by the Greeg lizard. Those who had already had the Pox were naturally immune to the disease - named Lacertiliitis after the park where it originated - and so many were hired on as doctors or even merely recipients of tests. They were paid by the government for their trouble, and often hired and paid ridiculous amounts of money to take over positions unstaffed because of the epidemic. Throughout the rest of the world scientists worked aggressively on creating a vaccine, or, in the case of Ashmanschkra, spreading Lizard Pox to as many citizens as possible. Because of this, most of the population had a natural immunity to Lacertiliitis by 1848. It is considered one of the most effective public health initiatives to date. Saldon and Skelmrelm teamed up to create a semi-effective vaccine, which forced out the virus by the second day, often leaving people on the brink of death but at least alive. They took to spreading numbing shots among their population, which at least prevented the pain caused from the acidic saliva. The vaccine was spread with the Kingdom of the Remnant, which consented to being absorbed into Skelmrelm, but the Spire Realm told themselves they could "handle this." They were all dead in three weeks. Gondolinius learned to work with the disease, and the hot climate created its first mutation, spread by melted cells. This resulted in a burning sensation throughout the body, which the Southern Order (now a strong theo-political presence in the area) promoted as a religious experience, not knowing how deadly the disease was. Lacertiliitis and the "Fire of the Heavens" mutation spread even more rapidly throughout Gondolinius and eventually to the abandoned We Hate Fire Hospital, which still had the remains of fireplague all over it. The Imperialist Party of Gondolinius set up an initiative to promote the quarantining of sick individuals. The Southern Order fought back against this relentlessly, creating a split in the general population over whether or not the "Fire of the Heavens" phenomena was a religious experience or a serious medical condition. Those who considered it religious were eventually put in a mental hospital during the Second Apocalypse, and the rest ran away to the desert. That aside, the disease died out in the urban parts of Gondolinius, but thrived in the rural areas around the Fireplague hospital, which created it's own problem, but more on that later... In the CoN, where the disease was spread from Marricopra via Sevdrolet and the oilfield workers there, the disease also mutated, creating something similar to the "Fire of the Heavens" bacteria, but instead causing only the skin to burn and dry out. This version wasn't completely fatal, even though Lizard Pox wasn't prevalent among the CoN. It was thought that the melting of the cells in the unceasing heat lessened the effects, but the disease was eradicated in 1845 due to a spike in heat and a drought, and so was never able to be studied. By 1850, the disease had calmed down worldwide (except for Gondolinius, but that's next). == Lacertiliitis-Fireplague Meltdown: 1895-1901 == The worst pandemic known to mankind. It began in what was renamed the Great Imperial Quarantine Hospital in central Gondolinius (the site has once again been abandoned, and is no longer owned by the country), where the archaea-bacteria known as fireplague had lain dormant on all the abandoned tools, beds, and especially in the indent in the floor that had once been the One and Only Everlasting Flame. As Lacertiliitis patients flooded in, using all the infected equipment and lying in the fireplague-infested beds, the two diseases began to combine, resulting in the first case of what was known, rather creatively, as "Lacertiliitis-fireplague." The first recorded patient was Appap Nipzap, a dockworker, of southern Gondolinius. He first reported a 106-degree fever - the universal signal of fireplague - and the next day his skin turned red, and he was said to claim it "burned worse than the Fire of the Heavens" (a disease he had, at first, survived). Three days after first reporting a fever, the red receded, turning into small boils that bled. After five days he appeared to be recovering, until he reported the signifying mouth-esophagus-stomach pain that came with Lacertiliitis. After a week, he finally coughed up blood and died. The new mutation spread throughout the hospital faster than even the Fire of the Heavens, apparently being more contagious than any previous strain (spread via touch), leaving only two survivors - very pregnant women - who had a strange natural immunity. Lacertiliitis-fireplague spread slowly south and then trickled through the poorer, non-immune southern Gondolinius population. Before the Gondolinian government could figure out what was happening, thousands of carriers, sick, and healthy alike had boarded boats to Gusmoas and Oralotzo, one of the world's least populated areas. This mass exodus became the downfall of Imperial Gondolinius, but not quite yet. The sick aboard the Gusmoas-bound boats all died on the way, and only four remained and made it to land. They set fire to the boats they came on and as they incorporated themselves into the Silencian population, millions more died. The several dozens remaining declared themselves Gods and fled into the mountains, only to be discovered nearly a century later by the Orsk Federation. Silencio collapsed, utterly and completely, and the land became inhabitable, overrun by plants, weeds, and rabid animals. On Del Sacarmo, which was still dry and dusty from the sandstorms that plagued them almost a thousand years ago, received the refugees with open arms, only to kill three-quarters of the population. Only those in the North survived, quarantining themselves. The Orsk Federation received the disease via shipments from Santa Marino, and only went into lockdown after half of the population had been killed. Sometime during this the disease makes its way to Marricopra, where it kills King Jimmy the Nineteenth (and last), sending the Kingdom into upheaval. By 1896 the whole world is in lockdown, save for Odorslat, which can't sustain itself very well and goes to war. Saldon and Skelmrelm begin a decades-long war over the general control of Odorslat, which is slowly starving to death. Skelmrelm decides to send all of its scientists to the Central Archipelago, and other countries follow suit. The Shrine of the Great Star Lobster becomes a giant lab, with everyone working according to their own time zone schedule so work is always being done. In 1897 a vaccine is created by a team of Skelmish, Altarian, and Sevdroleti scientists. By 1901, the vaccine is distributed worldwide and rebuilding begins. Until the Second End of the World comes. == The Second Apocalypse: 1906 == For a land inhabited by a religious group whose only claim to fame was that they started fires incessantly, there was only one Fire War. There were 12 - exactly twelve, and three were children - members of the Northern Order left. They lived a little North of the We Hate Fire Hospital, in tents, and obsessively lit up random patches of desert. Every year they got more and more mad at the financial support lent to the Southern Order and those who defected from the North, until they were all positively boiling with anger and in 1906 set fire to the capital of Gondolinius. Gondolinius assumed it was Marricopra - as they were prone to do, after the Seventy-Three-and-A-Half-Years War - and declared war on the very weakened kingdom. And then it happened. The fires, as it turned out, were ''still'' full of fireplague - somehow - and within a week both Gondolinius and Marricopra had a full-fledged outbreak on their hands. Gondolinius gave Marricopra a half-hearted apology and then returned to declare war on the Northern Order. But there were only 12 in the Order, and Gondolinius was still angry and so turned on itself and the Southern Order allies in Marricopra. So began the Fire Wars, with the Southern Order lighting anything aflame that stood in their path. At one point, they appeared to be gaining the upper hand, but then half of them came down with the newest Lacertiliitis-fireplague mutation. Though much of the world was vaccinated, the vaccine only worked on the 1895 strain, and those who had had Lizard Pox previously only had a 3-in-5 chance of recovery. From Marricopra the new strain spread to Altar, then to Ashmanschkra. From Gondolinius it went to Gusmoas, Santa Marino, and then to Seseco. Nowhere was safe anymore: the heat couldn't melt the diseased cells, and the cold couldn't kill them. The Fire Wars became an absolute farce, with no real end to them after the Gondolinian Emperor died of the plague. The Order was considered once and for all extinct, though it was rumored that members were still strewn worldwide, lighting fires in secret. Altar was so crippled by the plague and war effort that they consented to being owned by Ashmanschkra for a time. However, the Ashmanschkran government finally collapsed, for once and for all, ruined by internal fighting and the overabundance of Greeg lizards. Sevdrolet was finally overrun by the CoN, but then they all got sick. Sevdrolet had no official government after they all died of the plague, and the CoN retreated into itself, eventually being renamed the HPN. The Odorslatian governments survived; however, both were severely weakened and broke out into a few civil wars that all ended in painful deaths for all parties involved. Gusmoas continued to have no contact with the outside world, becoming increasingly more superstitious and oddly religious, founding the Church of the Party People in the Trees. The Basilica of the Treehouse was built on the ruins of the Palace of Tressene. The mountain people built a massive temple to their founders, which is actually quite beautiful - adorned with intricate carvings, reflecting pools, and floating candles, etc - that still stands today. They call it the First Wonder of the Modern World, and honestly, who can dispute that? Seseco had... problems (see: South Seseco). Oralotzo was almost completely wiped out, but a few thousand survived. They decided to work on re-fertilizing their soil, and only had contact with Skelmrelm. And the Kingdom of Marricopra, ruled by King Bantramus II, finally collapsed. With that ended the world's Second Age, and in 1920, Skelmrelm declared that the Second Apocalypse was over. So began the Third Age.

Please improve the article for this.'' They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya. Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate the Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and while Eddenarah had the upper hand at first, the Lobsterites gradually improved. When they unified under the name Children of Nephrops then they routed Eddenarah off of the islands. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == ''Main Article: [[Dark Ages]]'' Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish were the Children of Nephrops (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Children of Nephrops (CoN) just to say "HA!" The CoN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The CoN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the CoN's capital. The CoN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The CoN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The CoN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the CoN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the CoN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the CoN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the CoN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the CoN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. South Seseco is also a place of many inventions, the [[Traffic Signal]] (1872, [[Saint Vennes]], [[Deprivique]]), [[Printing Press]] (1450, [[Burges]], [[Grand Duchy of Burges]]) and [[Controlled Access Motorway]] (1913, [[Kvev]], [[Tornobyl]]) were all invented here. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chkyeb]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. The two sides united in 1550 to form the Chkyeb Uniate. Expansion continued eastward. In 1620 a civil war began. ==== The Jenois War of 1620 ==== Jenois was an exclave of people who remained in the Mountain Culture. They called themselves Kruchtevs (a common term used to refer to them in a negative light was "Crookies") and their capital was [[Kauter]]. [[Jenois|Jenois City]], as we know it today was an orsk catholic outpost that spoke Letique. The Kruchtevs were under severe penal laws, below is a basic rundown: * Crookies may not buy land unless the land had been owned by another Crookie. * Crookies may not go to school. * Crookies could not practice religion. * Crookies may only speak Letique. * Crookies may not possess anything that could be used to defend themselves * A maximum of one shop could be opened by a Crookie in any one town. * Crookies could only shop at places owned by Crookies. * Crookies could not ride carriages or own horses. * So on, So forth The first "Crookie Uprising" was actually in 1590 but it failed miserably and half of [[Kauter]] was burned to the ground. In 1620, with help from the [[Tornobyl Arms Association]] they were able to start a revolution in Kauter. The surrounding area was quickly captured and the [[Kruchtev Union]] was declared. They were followed by Deprivique, a region also descriminated against because of their Vizantian Catholic faith. Together the two new nations took over everything east of the Chkyiv Mountains. At home, the Uniate was struggling to keep the peace as a new disease called "Crookpox" (named so because many believed it was a consequence of discriminating against the Kruchtevs) was running rampant throughout the country. The [[Kruchtev Union]], [[Deprivique Republic]] and [[Letoque State]] (Puppet of Deprivique) were given fully recognised independance. ==== Reunited ==== In 1720, Letoque joined Deprivique to create the [[Holy Vizantian Union]]. The [[Kruchtev Union]] united with the [[City State of Tornve]] to create the [[New Kruchtev State]]. In 1722 the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] reunited with the [[Verst Empire]] and in 1723 a war began. ==== War of Letoque (1723 - 1770) ==== On the 3rd September 1723 the 2nd Chkyeb Union declared war on the [[Holy Vizantian Union]] and the [[New Kruchtev State]]. At first, their attack was strong, they took over Tornve and many mountanious regions. But then winter hit. The counteroffensive was described by a verst survivor as "Fast and sharp". They mainly attacked at nigh tand in small numbers. The Verst army was pushed all the way back to Verst. By then Tornobyl joined the war and more reinforcements were coming from allied nations. The war went on like this for 47 years. Then they decided they would better just unite, lest lose anymore lives. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the east (1530): The wast was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Let's start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting each other. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. Deprivique natives originated from somewhere along the [[Vizantus Strait]]. They left their homeland of Dovranland due to a war with some neighboring power. We don't know how long ago this was, but best historians estimate that it was during the Post Flood era. [[File:0e5138d4-7ec9-4f38-9982-3b7a8d3af6d5.jpg|center|thumb|Mural in Petersport depicting the natives of Deprivique leaving their homeland circa 1198]]Deprivique was two kingdoms, the Grand Duchy of Hallem and the Kingdom of Leynes (now Petersport). They united in 748 to form the [[Deprivique Union]]. They were invaded by their neighbour, [[Letoque]] to the north ~912 during the [[Letoque Conquests]]. While they were independant not much notable happened. ===== Jenois ===== Today [[Jenois]] is a disputed canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] (Officially it is part of the canton [[Letoque Jenois]]) It does not have a very unique culture at all, they are basically just people from the Chkyiv Mountains who emmigrated west and met the Letoque people. Something that is notable about them is that they were hit incredibly hard during the Lacertiliitis. Almost three quarters of their population died, half of the remaining emmigrated. The city of Jenois was almost empty by 1900. They repopulated at very impressive rates, and today the region has a population of 1.4 Million. ===== Letoque ===== Letoque is and always was the dominant power in the West. The people of Letoque (Letiquain)'s origins are unknown but we think they came from the same place as the Tornoblites. The capital of Letoque is [[Saint Vennes]]. It is the second most populous canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] but has no city over one million in population. Over it's history Letoque has had a very unique take on land, similar to that of the Russian Empire. This encouraged people to spread out which is why they are significantly less dense than the other cantons. Letoque is home to Jenois, a disputed canton in it's east. Letoque lost land and was eventually destroyed in the [[Letoque Wars]] which lasted from 1610 - 1670 and main belligrents were the Verst Empire and Grand Duchy of Burges (GDB seceded from the Chkyeb Uniate in 1620). ==== Summary ==== South Seseco has had a history of civil wars, disease and violent wars, however it has also had times of prosperity. The "Seseco Golden Age" was the time from 1723 - 1803 both started and ended by war, but during which there was no fighting and instead inventions, discoveries and industrialisation. == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the CoN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The CoN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame, which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the CoN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == For those of you who are too lazy to read: basically the three powers of the Centrius Basin were at war off and on for 73 (and a quarter!) years. This was the last major war of this type, and ended with the CoN regaining control of the islands (for now...). In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the CoN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in late 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the CoN capital, while the CoN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). After half a year of this, all sides realized that this type of warfare was entirely unsustainable, and called a year-and-a-half ceasefire to build up their resources. In 1304 AY, Marricopra launched an assault on Centrius, and held and defended the island for ten years. The CoN was too busy rebuilding its capital for what was at least the third time, and so it was no difficulty for Marricopra to hold back the meager Ashmanschkri army, until 1314, when the CoN rejoined the battle, heading straight for the Marricopran capital. It was the worst destruction the area had seen since the Flood. Marricopra immediately moved backwards to defend their capital, and while the CoN-Marricopra conflict went on in what remained of the Valley of Pryoriya, Ashmanschkra took the islands. Marricopra eventually pushed back the CoN to the far East. The loss from this set of fighting sparked another ceasefire, this one lasting four and a half years. This truce was broken by the CoN, who made their first stab at Ashmanschkra. This time it was successful, and they officially owned the Ashmanschrki army (Sevdrolet refused to join this war. This created a rift in the country, but more on this later) for a time. However, the Army of Ashmanschkra the Inevitable refused to be owned by any other faction, and rebelled against the CoN generals, which put a slight dent in the CoN army, but mostly distracted them from the Marricopra 1326 invasion of Centrius. Marricopra owned the islands for another 5 years, in which the CoN ''and'' Ashmanschkra banded together (ironically) to shove them out, but the Marricopran army was so large they couldn't manage this until 1332, and then Ashmanschkra turned on the CoN, and they fought it out for a few years while Marricopra went back to rebuilding and making poisons from the lizards in the only national reserve, which was overhunted anyway. The longest ceasefire was from 1336-1343, after which Marricopra and the CoN simultaneously pulled support from the Order (both North and South). Ashmanschkra admitted defeat and decided to focus on its quickly worsening relations with the pacifist Sevdrolet. Once the Order got involved, almost everything within view was burned to the ground, Centrius became so inhabitable everyone wondered why they still fought over it, and King Vilassey of Marricopra died in battle, leaving no heirs but his niece, Nichra, who became the first Queen of Marricopra. She had little to no popular support, as she was a woman, but proved to be a brilliant strategist and brought Marricopra to an almost decisive victory at the Fourty-Fifth Battle of Great Nephrops Island, until the southern Order turned on them and Marricopra surrendered and shut its doors to the world. The CoN claimed Centrius, renamed it the Grand Lobster Islands, and the Order went home. In 1374, the Treaty of the Lobsterites was signed (grudgingly) by CoN general Parsley and Queen Nichra, who was at the very least lauded for her dignity in the face of such a crushing defeat. == The Fireplague Epidemic: 1406-1455 == The disease technically began spreading in 1402, but given the slowness of travel at the time, it didn't spread beyond the Great and True (Northern) Order until 1406. The One and Only Everlasting Flame apparently had microbes in them. Harmful ones. And after centuries of humans tending to the fire and its odd microbiome, they latched onto the Arch-Priests, and spread throughout the Mocze Desert's tent cities. It began with the Chief Arch-Priest, Bengellus, burning with a 106 degree fever. The next day, all four other Arch-Priests woke up with the same fever, and Bengellus broke out in hives said to burn "as if the Eternal Fire had itself showered its infernal sparks upon the skin." On the third day, Bengellus began vomiting blood. On the fourth, he died. The four remaining Arch-Priests all exhibited the same symptoms, but not within the same time frame. Hibriz died the day the boils appeared; Porops had a fever for a week and then got the boils and coughed blood (and died) all on the same day; Caprokcil only ever had boils, which lasted a week and a half and then he died with no warning; and Nezrel had a fever for two days, boils for a week and a half, and eventually recovered with only some light scarring. From Nezrel and the other four's caretakers, the disease spread across Mocze without warning and with no cure. Only a quarter of the Northern Order survives, and they start lighting fires in what is by then proto-Gondolinius, which spreads the disease through the southern Order like wildfire, and across the ocean to Marricopra via merchant ships. Marricopra gladly passes this on to the CoN and Ashmansckra via Altar (which has begun to rebel). All the guards on Great Nephrops Island die from the disease, but no one dares go replace them for fear of becoming infected themselves. Centrius goes unclaimed - it is during this time that Sevdrolet goes and unofficially names it the Central Archipelago, and the name sticks. The disease is sent north to Odorslat, but very few die as the cold climate cannot sustain the archaea-bacteria [''and yes, I'm basing the vaguely scientific nature of fireplague off of my 7th grade science class'']. What little of the disease can spread makes its way to Del Sacarmo/KoPWARToD, where it eventually dies out but destabilizes the colonial government enough for a complete overhaul, leaving the native [[Oralotzo|Oralians]] to kill the government and begin to rule themselves. After killing about a fifth of the Marricopran population (including the monarch, but they had a direct heir), more than half of Mocze, and a sixth of the rest of the world, the disease eventually dies down in 1455, as the population had naturally immunized itself, save for a few sparse outbreaks in remote areas. == The War of the Chicken Pie: 1507-1509 == ''Main Article: [[War of the Chicken Pie]]'' In 1507 AY, what remained of the KoPWARToD (a small scrap of land on Seseco; now Hakha Rakhine) held the First (and only) International Baking Competition, inviting famous bakers worldwide. Among them were Gondolinius's Oragor Mentaylis, who owned the World's Largest Bakery (and nobody dared fight him on that); Sevdrolet's Jimalangang Kobrob; and the KoPWARToD's Ercal Bogefayal, whose alliance was to the Rakhine rebellion brewing up north. Upon his winning the competition, the judges had no idea what country to award the top prize to, and so (as is, of course, usual) war was declared between the KoPWARToD and Hakha Rakhine. Marricopra threw themselves into the war, angry over the loss of Ashmanschkra and Centrius centuries before (and from getting last place in the competition), and led by Queen Ingelle "the Mad." They quickly drew out after the mysterious death of Ingelle and the ascension of King Billy Bob the Sixth, who gave the KoPWARToD several million dollars in reparations and an apology letter. What remained of the Northern Order finally wiped themselves out by throwing themselves and their disease-ridden bodies into the war. This ended with the Treaty of the Kitchen, the formation of Hakha Rakhine and the final dissolution of the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and the subsequent breakout of fireplague across Seseco. == The Second Fireplague Epidemic: 1509-1576 == The Seseco epidemic ended within a few months (see: the first fireplague epidemic and how that worked on Odorslat), but spread back south to Mocze via merchants from Santa Marino and then to Gondolinius, who sent diseased persons to Silencio and Marricopra out of spite (remember - they had their beginnings as religious fanatics). The two almost declared war in return, but then half of their armies fell ill and they decided otherwise. This epidemic went off and on for the next seventy years, with each breakout having epicenters in oddly diverse places, among them being the new Hakha Rakhine, the southernmost 2 blocks of a city in Odorslat, and Croissant Island. This epidemic ended with the Blizzard to End All Blizzards, which lasted exactly 3 days but was enough to kill the archaea-bacteria worldwide. The disease was confined to the We Hate Fire Quarantine Hospital, which was set up in the Mocze desert over the original site of the fire to ensure no one lighted it again. I would say there was peace from here on out, but there isn't, because this was when I remembered that tectonic plates were a thing. == The Split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet: 1599 and a couple years after that == The large, desert-y island of Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet, named after the two people groups that lived there, was situated on a fault line that became more precarious with each year after the Flood, until it finally broke apart during an earthquake and tsunami just south of the Central Archipelago, creating an event known as the Mini-Flood. The country officially became two (it had been threatening to become so for a while), with Ashmanschkra becoming the war peoples of the west, eagerly helping Altar break from Marricopra, though the Altarians themselves didn't care too much as Marricopra provided financial support. Sevdrolet was a nation of pacifists, and remained strictly neutral in all the Central Basin conflicts, though it formed close ties with the CoN. They became known for their art, and hated being invaded. However, seeing as they had no army, this happened over and over despite their declaring independence and creating more and more statues of famous Sevdroletis, which no one cared to take down as they actually looked quite good. The world began to be split over "do you support Ashmanschkra or Sevdrolet?" but as neither nation had the patience to fight the other, it all came to naught and everyone stopped caring, because the islands had moved into such a location to be perfect for beach vacations and millions flooded there. == The Economic Collapse of 1684 == After a little less than a century of relative-but-not-really peace, war in Skelmrelm completely demolished the economy of said country, bringing upon general economic collapse worldwide, as just about everyone depended on Skelmrelm for one reason or another. Does this name sound unfamiliar? Odorslat had, during this time, undergone yet another civil war that led to its renaming. The citizens were relieved that they were at least not called Knitted-Socks-ians. Skelmrelm during this time had moved past Marricopra in terms of GDP (and, in some areas, development) and become the new world epicenter, especially for the north. Gondolinius still considered Marricopra their main provider, however, and Silencio found the Kingdom easier to access. However, whatever petty disputes they had became unimportant in the face of total annihilation of all they'd worked for. However, with the discovery of oil deposits on Sevdrolet, the world economy slowly rebuilt as nations focused southward, and then back North after the Skelmrelm war ended. By 1690, the world economy had generally stabilized. == The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat == This is why the mountains have two main ranges. However, though the epicenter of this was in the mountains, aftershocks were so strong in the capital (on that bay just south of them) that it was completely demolished. This created a political split over who should rule where and how they should rebuild, and effectively ended the Republic of Odorslat as it was known. War broke out over the ruins of Odorslat-Priyoria, ending with the Treaty of What's Left of Priyoriya that split the country in four: Skelmrelm, the Republic of Saldon, the Kingdom of the Remnant, and the Spire Realm. The Kingdom of the Remnant was basically a puppet state of both Saldon and Skelmrelm, but at different times, seeing as it was located on the ruins of Priyoriya and only populated by a few thousand, mostly scholars and archaeologists there to study and preserve what was left of the city. Odorslat once again was no longer a world power, and Silencio began to compete with Marricopra for the title of highest GDP, until the 1794 Marricopran Revolution (see: [[The We're Sick of King Salamandario Revolution]]), after which the country turned inward to sort out its own problems. By 1799, the world was caught in a precarious balance between Skelmrelm and Silencio, as they had no access to Marricopra's resources (except for Sevdrolet, which the Kingdom just couldn't ignore). This resulted in a slight dip in the economy ~1800, but it eventually stabilized as Silencio began to compensate, and finally Marricopra (which had at last rid itself of Altar) reentered the world, about half the size it had been before. == Lacertiliitis: 1837-1850 == The disease began among the thousands of lizard species found at Great Lacertilia National Park. Still no one knows exactly which species spread it to humans, but the story goes like this: shopowner Tylline Tortatolus and his family visited the park in Firbicus 1837, and three weeks after returning, his wife died. Within the next two days, both of his children complained of pain in their mouth, throat, and stomach. Two days later, they died. Tylline lasted long enough to tell his neighbors of the strange occurrence, and then died in the home of musician Vollus Senddarry. The disease spread from the Senddarry household across the small town of Markpinne. The disease made it via caravan to the capital, and spread quickly through the population there. Then-Queen Nichra III soon realized what was happening and enforced a quarantine in the northeast part of the city, but not before boats carrying timber - the country's main resource - had reached Saldon, Gondolinius, and Oralotzo, spreading the disease there too. Soon testing was performed in the King Jimmy Central Hospital, and it was found that the disease turned one's saliva to hydrochloric acid. Scientists worldwide set to work creating a vaccine, but the most they could do was prevent death, though not entirely. Certain anomalies were found in the poorer parts of the city, where most of the population had already gone through a bout of Lizard Pox, a non-fatal disease spread by the Greeg lizard. Those who had already had the Pox were naturally immune to the disease - named Lacertiliitis after the park where it originated - and so many were hired on as doctors or even merely recipients of tests. They were paid by the government for their trouble, and often hired and paid ridiculous amounts of money to take over positions unstaffed because of the epidemic. Throughout the rest of the world scientists worked aggressively on creating a vaccine, or, in the case of Ashmanschkra, spreading Lizard Pox to as many citizens as possible. Because of this, most of the population had a natural immunity to Lacertiliitis by 1848. It is considered one of the most effective public health initiatives to date. Saldon and Skelmrelm teamed up to create a semi-effective vaccine, which forced out the virus by the second day, often leaving people on the brink of death but at least alive. They took to spreading numbing shots among their population, which at least prevented the pain caused from the acidic saliva. The vaccine was spread with the Kingdom of the Remnant, which consented to being absorbed into Skelmrelm, but the Spire Realm told themselves they could "handle this." They were all dead in three weeks. Gondolinius learned to work with the disease, and the hot climate created its first mutation, spread by melted cells. This resulted in a burning sensation throughout the body, which the Southern Order (now a strong theo-political presence in the area) promoted as a religious experience, not knowing how deadly the disease was. Lacertiliitis and the "Fire of the Heavens" mutation spread even more rapidly throughout Gondolinius and eventually to the abandoned We Hate Fire Hospital, which still had the remains of fireplague all over it. The Imperialist Party of Gondolinius set up an initiative to promote the quarantining of sick individuals. The Southern Order fought back against this relentlessly, creating a split in the general population over whether or not the "Fire of the Heavens" phenomena was a religious experience or a serious medical condition. Those who considered it religious were eventually put in a mental hospital during the Second Apocalypse, and the rest ran away to the desert. That aside, the disease died out in the urban parts of Gondolinius, but thrived in the rural areas around the Fireplague hospital, which created it's own problem, but more on that later... In the CoN, where the disease was spread from Marricopra via Sevdrolet and the oilfield workers there, the disease also mutated, creating something similar to the "Fire of the Heavens" bacteria, but instead causing only the skin to burn and dry out. This version wasn't completely fatal, even though Lizard Pox wasn't prevalent among the CoN. It was thought that the melting of the cells in the unceasing heat lessened the effects, but the disease was eradicated in 1845 due to a spike in heat and a drought, and so was never able to be studied. By 1850, the disease had calmed down worldwide (except for Gondolinius, but that's next). == Lacertiliitis-Fireplague Meltdown: 1895-1901 == The worst pandemic known to mankind. It began in what was renamed the Great Imperial Quarantine Hospital in central Gondolinius (the site has once again been abandoned, and is no longer owned by the country), where the archaea-bacteria known as fireplague had lain dormant on all the abandoned tools, beds, and especially in the indent in the floor that had once been the One and Only Everlasting Flame. As Lacertiliitis patients flooded in, using all the infected equipment and lying in the fireplague-infested beds, the two diseases began to combine, resulting in the first case of what was known, rather creatively, as "Lacertiliitis-fireplague." The first recorded patient was Appap Nipzap, a dockworker, of southern Gondolinius. He first reported a 106-degree fever - the universal signal of fireplague - and the next day his skin turned red, and he was said to claim it "burned worse than the Fire of the Heavens" (a disease he had, at first, survived). Three days after first reporting a fever, the red receded, turning into small boils that bled. After five days he appeared to be recovering, until he reported the signifying mouth-esophagus-stomach pain that came with Lacertiliitis. After a week, he finally coughed up blood and died. The new mutation spread throughout the hospital faster than even the Fire of the Heavens, apparently being more contagious than any previous strain (spread via touch), leaving only two survivors - very pregnant women - who had a strange natural immunity. Lacertiliitis-fireplague spread slowly south and then trickled through the poorer, non-immune southern Gondolinius population. Before the Gondolinian government could figure out what was happening, thousands of carriers, sick, and healthy alike had boarded boats to Gusmoas and Oralotzo, one of the world's least populated areas. This mass exodus became the downfall of Imperial Gondolinius, but not quite yet. The sick aboard the Gusmoas-bound boats all died on the way, and only four remained and made it to land. They set fire to the boats they came on and as they incorporated themselves into the Silencian population, millions more died. The several dozens remaining declared themselves Gods and fled into the mountains, only to be discovered nearly a century later by the Orsk Federation. Silencio collapsed, utterly and completely, and the land became inhabitable, overrun by plants, weeds, and rabid animals. On Del Sacarmo, which was still dry and dusty from the sandstorms that plagued them almost a thousand years ago, received the refugees with open arms, only to kill three-quarters of the population. Only those in the North survived, quarantining themselves. The Orsk Federation received the disease via shipments from Santa Marino, and only went into lockdown after half of the population had been killed. Sometime during this the disease makes its way to Marricopra, where it kills King Jimmy the Nineteenth (and last), sending the Kingdom into upheaval. By 1896 the whole world is in lockdown, save for Odorslat, which can't sustain itself very well and goes to war. Saldon and Skelmrelm begin a decades-long war over the general control of Odorslat, which is slowly starving to death. Skelmrelm decides to send all of its scientists to the Central Archipelago, and other countries follow suit. The Shrine of the Great Star Lobster becomes a giant lab, with everyone working according to their own time zone schedule so work is always being done. In 1897 a vaccine is created by a team of Skelmish, Altarian, and Sevdroleti scientists. By 1901, the vaccine is distributed worldwide and rebuilding begins. Until the Second End of the World comes. == The Second Apocalypse: 1906 == For a land inhabited by a religious group whose only claim to fame was that they started fires incessantly, there was only one Fire War. There were 12 - exactly twelve, and three were children - members of the Northern Order left. They lived a little North of the We Hate Fire Hospital, in tents, and obsessively lit up random patches of desert. Every year they got more and more mad at the financial support lent to the Southern Order and those who defected from the North, until they were all positively boiling with anger and in 1906 set fire to the capital of Gondolinius. Gondolinius assumed it was Marricopra - as they were prone to do, after the Seventy-Three-and-A-Half-Years War - and declared war on the very weakened kingdom. And then it happened. The fires, as it turned out, were ''still'' full of fireplague - somehow - and within a week both Gondolinius and Marricopra had a full-fledged outbreak on their hands. Gondolinius gave Marricopra a half-hearted apology and then returned to declare war on the Northern Order. But there were only 12 in the Order, and Gondolinius was still angry and so turned on itself and the Southern Order allies in Marricopra. So began the Fire Wars, with the Southern Order lighting anything aflame that stood in their path. At one point, they appeared to be gaining the upper hand, but then half of them came down with the newest Lacertiliitis-fireplague mutation. Though much of the world was vaccinated, the vaccine only worked on the 1895 strain, and those who had had Lizard Pox previously only had a 3-in-5 chance of recovery. From Marricopra the new strain spread to Altar, then to Ashmanschkra. From Gondolinius it went to Gusmoas, Santa Marino, and then to Seseco. Nowhere was safe anymore: the heat couldn't melt the diseased cells, and the cold couldn't kill them. The Fire Wars became an absolute farce, with no real end to them after the Gondolinian Emperor died of the plague. The Order was considered once and for all extinct, though it was rumored that members were still strewn worldwide, lighting fires in secret. Altar was so crippled by the plague and war effort that they consented to being owned by Ashmanschkra for a time. However, the Ashmanschkran government finally collapsed, for once and for all, ruined by internal fighting and the overabundance of Greeg lizards. Sevdrolet was finally overrun by the CoN, but then they all got sick. Sevdrolet had no official government after they all died of the plague, and the CoN retreated into itself, eventually being renamed the HPN. The Odorslatian governments survived; however, both were severely weakened and broke out into a few civil wars that all ended in painful deaths for all parties involved. Gusmoas continued to have no contact with the outside world, becoming increasingly more superstitious and oddly religious, founding the Church of the Party People in the Trees. The Basilica of the Treehouse was built on the ruins of the Palace of Tressene. The mountain people built a massive temple to their founders, which is actually quite beautiful - adorned with intricate carvings, reflecting pools, and floating candles, etc - that still stands today. They call it the First Wonder of the Modern World, and honestly, who can dispute that? Seseco had... problems (see: South Seseco). Oralotzo was almost completely wiped out, but a few thousand survived. They decided to work on re-fertilizing their soil, and only had contact with Skelmrelm. And the Kingdom of Marricopra, ruled by King Bantramus II, finally collapsed. With that ended the world's Second Age, and in 1920, Skelmrelm declared that the Second Apocalypse was over. So began the Third Age.

Invited were many famous bakers worldwide, one from every nation. The main participants were [[Gondolinius]]'s Oragor Mentaylis, [[Sevdrolet]]'s Jimalangang Kobrob, and the Tired-of-Dustee Ercal Bogefayal. Upon Ercal's winning of the competition, the judges didn't know who to give the trophy to (because they figured if they awarded it to themselves everyone would start a war against them) declared a tie between Hakha Rakhine and the Kingdom. Thus, the war began. Queen Ingelle "the Mad", queen of Marricopra, joined into the war due to Marricopra's Dark Age and coming in last place during the competition. ===First Battles=== The first battles were fought in many places, though generally agreed to be the first battle was the [[Battle of Nay]], between Hakha Rakhine and the Kingdom. After Marricopra joining in, the victory went to Hakha Rakhine. More battles, such as the major [[Battle of Sinoland]], the first Tired-of-Dustee victory in the war. However, the Kingdom was still losing the war by the middle of the war in 1508. ===Death of Queen Ingelle=== The first of two major turning points in the war occurred in September of 1508, when Queen Ingelle disappeared mysteriously. She was later found in the Oralian battlefield, with symptoms of fireplague and a stab in her arm. It was unknown what she died of- fireplague, war, or both, but this meant that her cousin, King [[Billy Bob VI]], could take over the thrown. Billy Bob understood that Queen Ingelle didn't need to have the war, and gave the Kingdom several million nocks, and continued to support them for the rest of the war. [[Tressene]] then held the "Yay, Our Ally's Insane Queen Is Dead So We Don't Have To Care About Her Anymore" Party, which ended fighting in the war for three days. ===Later Battles=== [[File:Occupation.png|thumb|A map of the area just before the Battle of West Sambia. Blue is the Kingdom's territories and the other colour is that of Hakha Rakhine and their allies.]] After this change of sides, the war started leaning in the Kingdom's favour. They managed to capture, at this point, all of the major cities in Hakha Rakhine except Khaikon, home of the Kachin and Chin. However, things began to turn around once again when Oralotzo, out of revenge against the Kingdom which they hated. At the time, the Kingdom and Marricopra were moving troops to invade West Sambia. However, Oralotzo came in and helped win the battle, then allowing Hakha Rakhine to continue pushing back the Kingdom. Finally, on March the First 1509, after a three-month-long seige on [[Yango]], the [[Treaty of Yango]] was signed, allowing the Kingdom to surrender and ending the war. Shortly thereafter, everyone was invited to Tressene's "Hakha Rakhine is a Nation Now and the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust Are Gone" party. == Aftermath == The war resulted in the creation of [[Hakha Rakhine]], which became very rich due to the luxuries imported by the Kingdom towards the second half of the war. The Kingdom was finally disolved, and everyone could finally say they actually ''liked'' dust (indeed, Hakha Rakhine was hit with a short sandstorm after that) and this was Marricopra's last war in [[Seseco]].

Its existence with communism has a long history since the 1700s.[[File:Yango.jpg|thumb|right|This is a picture of people in Yango walking]] == Population == The City of Yango has a population of 1,254,000 * Village: 1.2x (population: 5k - 10k) * Town: 1.4x (population: 10k - 30k) * City: 1.8x (population 30k - 500k) == History == === Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust Occupation === When the [[Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust]] occupied Hakha Rakhine, after being driven out from their homelands by [[Oralotzo]], Yango was the capital. It was also where the [[Treaty of Yango]], ending the [[War of the Chicken Pie]], was signed. === Communist Era === During the time of the Civil War, there were men in the Communist Party of Rakhine trained in villages of Yango to stop protesters fighting. They also had to go against thieves and bandits due to supply loss. This was known as the Rakhine Campaign. This was their sub-goal; to "fight back against the stealers and go for-it-all". This was their revenge for fighting off the bandits. [[File:Campaign.jpg|thumb|right|The Rakhine Campaign]] == Infrastructure == The Capital City of Yango's Infrastructure relies on buildings, supplies, and power.

It's a refugee empire made of various groups who fled from [[Seseco]] during the Second Apocalypse to a place so cold and abandoned, they figured they'd be safe. Since things stabilized in 1920, this section of the ice cap was largely composed of various warring microstates until the arrival of the mysterious Time Traveler in 1973, who united the groups and turned them into Fictia. == Ethymology: == The Fictian Empire is derived from the name "Fictia", which is of completely unknown origin. The Time Traveler's suggestions (see history) are the reason the name became adopted for the new country. == History: == === Origins: === ==== Settlement: ==== Most of the territory of the modern Fictian Empire has, for almost all of history, been an unpopulated ice shelf. This only began to change in the early 1900s, when the [[World History#The Second Apocalypse: 1906|Second Apocalypse]] caused chaos worldwide, including a collapse in many nations located on the continent of [[Senesco]]. People fearing the destruction or with no place to go bought (or stole) boats and emigrated in droves, heading to the northern ice cap which the refugees figured was open land nearby, yet too insignificant for other nations to invade (or the infamous [[fireplague-lacitiis]] plague). This group struggled greatly to build shelters or obtain food on the tundra, and so only about 33% of the migrants are thought to have survived (or not fled) to settle. ==== War: ==== In the 1920s, the settlers of the Septrontiland ice shelf had begun to unite with each other into numerous tiny nations best comparable to chiefdoms (largely due to the fact refugees from every Senescan state, and some from elsewhere, inhabited the area). For the next 50 years, there was continuous warfare between these unimportant chiefdoms which were ignored by literally the entire rest of the world. Some would be listed here, but the majority were failed raids and the complete history is so boring you'd likely fall asleep reading the first paragraph. === Foundation: === This changed in 1973, when a mysterious figure in an extremely expensive and fancy coat appeared from nowhere and traveled between the weak chiefdoms. He visited each and every one and spoke at town meetings where he advocated for a new way of life. "Being so weak and divided is ungroovy!", he often said. "If this ice shelf unites under one country, it will be mighty and nothing can be groovier!" His arguments began to win over the chiefdoms, who agreed to cease fighting and unite under a state the mysterious time traveler (as everyone presumed from the decade-old slang) would set up. He had some extremely strange ideas: for maximum "grooviness", the nation would have to adopt a mysterious, otherworldly flag and the name of "Fictia" which was completely unheard of in the ice shelf. He insisted the identity would make the ice shelf the founder of a great and even universal empire. The new country took form as an absolute monarchy under a complex bureaucracy that incorporated many of the formal petty chiefdom rulers. The ruler, according to the Time Traveler, had to be named "George" according to some ancient universal law, so a random baker with that name was declared the 1st Fictian Emperor. But after all of this had occurred, the Time Traveler made a comment to himself about having made "a mistake in the wrong dimension" and disappeared without a trace. Nonetheless, the new empire was and is determined to become powerful and fulfill the promises given to them. To secure some non-polar land, a small force was sent by ship to secure land in the newly-discovered [[New Ehtje]] region to the East, and there began building the imperial capital of [[VeryLengthyAndUndescriptiveNamedCity]]. An Exarch elected by the residents of the Septrontiland ice shelf and approved by the Emperor in that region, making such distant rule a possibility. Things are looking bright for the new Empire, which is now seeking allies and vowing to "never give up, let down, run around, or desert" it's allies (lyrics from a song the Time Traveler insisted as national anthem).

The Time Traveler's suggestions (see history) are the reason the name became adopted for the new country. == History: == === Origins: === ==== Settlement: ==== Most of the territory of the modern Fictian Empire has, for almost all of history, been an unpopulated ice shelf. This only began to change in the early 1900s, when the [[World History#The Second Apocalypse: 1906|Second Apocalypse]] caused chaos worldwide, including a collapse in many nations located on the continent of [[Senesco]]. People fearing the destruction or with no place to go bought (or stole) boats and emigrated in droves, heading to the northern ice cap which the refugees figured was open land nearby, yet too insignificant for other nations to invade (or the infamous [[fireplague-lacitiis]] plague). This group struggled greatly to build shelters or obtain food on the tundra, and so only about 33% of the migrants are thought to have survived (or not fled) to settle. ==== War: ==== In the 1920s, the settlers of the Septrontiland ice shelf had begun to unite with each other into numerous tiny nations best comparable to chiefdoms (largely due to the fact refugees from every Senescan state, and some from elsewhere, inhabited the area). For the next 50 years, there was continuous warfare between these unimportant chiefdoms which were ignored by literally the entire rest of the world. Some would be listed here, but the majority were failed raids and the complete history is so boring you'd likely fall asleep reading the first paragraph. === Foundation: === This changed in 1973, when a mysterious figure in an extremely expensive and fancy coat appeared from nowhere and traveled between the weak chiefdoms. He visited each and every one and spoke at town meetings where he advocated for a new way of life. "Being so weak and divided is ungroovy!", he often said. "If this ice shelf unites under one country, it will be mighty and nothing can be groovier!" His arguments began to win over the chiefdoms, who agreed to cease fighting and unite under a state the mysterious time traveler (as everyone presumed from the decade-old slang) would set up. He had some extremely strange ideas: for maximum "grooviness", the nation would have to adopt a mysterious, otherworldly flag and the name of "Fictia" which was completely unheard of in the ice shelf. He insisted the identity would make the ice shelf the founder of a great and even universal empire. The new country took form as an absolute monarchy under a complex bureaucracy that incorporated many of the formal petty chiefdom rulers. The ruler, according to the Time Traveler, had to be named "George" according to some ancient universal law, so a random baker with that name was declared the 1st Fictian Emperor. But after all of this had occurred, the Time Traveler made a comment to himself about having made "a mistake in the wrong dimension" and disappeared without a trace. The Fictians didn't care about his vanishing though, and the new empire is determined to become powerful and fulfill the promises given to them. To secure some non-polar land, a small force was sent by ship to secure land in the newly-discovered [[New Ehtje]] region to the East, and there began building the imperial capital of [[VeryLengthyAndUndescriptiveNamedCity]]. An Exarch elected by the residents of the Septrontiland ice shelf and approved by the Emperor in that region, making such distant rule a possibility. Things are looking bright for the new Empire, which is now seeking allies and vowing to "never give up, let down, run around, or desert" it's allies (lyrics from a song the Time Traveler insisted as national anthem).

It's a refugee empire made of various groups who fled from [[Seseco]] during the Second Apocalypse to a place so cold and abandoned, they figured they'd be safe. Since things stabilized in 1920, this section of the ice cap was largely composed of various warring microstates until the arrival of the mysterious Time Traveler in 1973, who united the groups and turned them into Fictia. == Etymology == The Fictian Empire is derived from the name "Fictia", which is of completely unknown origin.

This only began to change in the early 1900s, when the [[World History#The Second Apocalypse: 1906|Second Apocalypse]] caused chaos worldwide, including a collapse in many nations located on the continent of Seseco People fearing the destruction or with no place to go bought (or stole) boats and emigrated in droves, heading to the northern ice cap which the refugees figured was open land nearby, yet too insignificant for other nations to invade (or the infamous [[fireplague-lacitiis]] plague). This group struggled greatly to build shelters or obtain food on the tundra, and so only about 33% of the migrants are thought to have survived (or not fled) to settle. ==== War ==== In the 1920s, the settlers of the Septrontiland ice shelf had begun to unite with each other into numerous tiny nations best comparable to chiefdoms (largely due to the fact refugees from every nation on Seseco, and some from elsewhere, inhabited the area). For the next 50 years, there was continuous warfare between these unimportant chiefdoms which were ignored by literally the entire rest of the world. Some would be listed here, but the majority were failed raids and the complete history is so boring you'd likely fall asleep reading the first paragraph. === Foundation === This changed in 1973, when a mysterious figure in an extremely expensive and fancy coat appeared from nowhere and traveled between the weak chiefdoms. He visited each and every one and spoke at town meetings where he advocated for a new way of life. "Being so weak and divided is ungroovy!", he often said. "If this ice shelf unites under one country, it will be mighty and nothing can be groovier!" His arguments began to win over the chiefdoms, who agreed to cease fighting and unite under a state the mysterious time traveler (as everyone presumed from the decade-old slang) would set up. He had some extremely strange ideas: for maximum "grooviness", the nation would have to adopt a mysterious, otherworldly flag and the name of "Fictia" which was completely unheard of in the ice shelf. He insisted the identity would make the ice shelf the founder of a great and even universal empire. The new country took form as an absolute monarchy under a complex bureaucracy that incorporated many of the formal petty chiefdom rulers. The ruler, according to the Time Traveler, had to be named "George" according to some ancient universal law, so a random baker with that name was declared the 1st Fictian Emperor. But after all of this had occurred, the Time Traveler made a comment to himself about having made "a mistake in the wrong dimension" and disappeared without a trace. The Fictians didn't care about his vanishing though, and the new empire is determined to become powerful and fulfill the promises given to them. To secure some non-polar land, a small force was sent by ship to secure land in the newly-discovered [[New Ehtje]] region to the East, and there began building the imperial capital of [[Very Lengthy And Undescriptive-Named City]]. An Exarch elected by the residents of the Septrontiland ice shelf and approved by the Emperor in that region, making such distant rule a possibility. Things are looking bright for the new Empire, which is now seeking allies and vowing to "never give up, let down, run around, or desert" it's allies (lyrics from a song the Time Traveler insisted as national anthem).

Things are looking bright for the new Empire, which is now seeking allies and vowing to "never give up, let down, run around, or desert" it's allies (lyrics from a song the Time Traveler insisted as national anthem). == Government == === Basics: === Fictia is an absolute monarchy, with [[Emperor George VII|George VII]] as the current emperor. The monarch can do anything he wants as long as it doesn't contradict existing law (this will likely become a problem...), and has direct control over the capital (which has a name is long to write another time) and the surrounding province of Tutus. Supporting his rule is a complex bureaucracy composing of yearly-elected local officials (for villages, towns, and city departments), imperial-appointed governors over each province (selected by the merit of local officials-or at first warring chiefs), and finally a group of ministers in charge of the imperial bureaus who are also chosen by merit. In distant territories, the emperor is expected to appoint an Exarch who serves as a civil and military governor of the territory, with effectively unlimited power unless the emperor or law contradicts him. Exarchs are to be selected by the population of the territory in an election and then approved by the emperor (who has complete veto power), but have no fixed term lengths until they die or resign. This makes it possible for foreign territories to have self-rule and respond to invasions themselves, and helps to keep down unrest/rebellions in the Empire. The original glacier territories on Septrontiland, divided into the provinces of Frigida and Calidum, are currently organized as the [[Exarchate of Septrontiland]] under the rule of [[Robert Magnus]], also originally a warring chief and the most successful of them. === Bureaus === === Provinces === == Foreign Relations == [[Category:Countries]] 5be54bfd6f4e2b70174286c7422ca476fe75a87e 0 78 461 394 2023-10-11T19:55:01Z wikitext text/x-wiki Latest news is at the bottom.

Skelmrelm and the Republic of [[Saldon]] are the only two countries inhabiting the continent. Skelmrelm is a [[Constitutional Monarchy|constitutional monarchy]], and has a population of 30 million people. It has 8 cities. == History == Skelmrelm was a product of [[The Flood]]. The path being cleared for nations to start their rise, Skelmrelm was one of the first to do so. They were a simple and kind people; simply wanting to settle down and come together to prevent future disasters from destroying them completely. And Skelmrelm was calm. For a long time. Of course, they got involved in wars that threatened their livelyhood, but they never got severely damaged. They had established cities in Odorslat, [[Mocze]], and [[Seseco]]. However, in Mocze, 1406, a problem arised. A scientist, trying to find the secret to immortality, discovered a disease. This disease, called [[Fireplague]], caused fever, boils, coughing blood, and death. The doctor tried making a cure, but got infected. The disease spread like wildfire; soon, the city of [[Vredestad]] was gone to the masses of infected dead bodies. The disease would spread all the way throughout Mocze, rendering it inhabitable. Other nations around the world managed to stop it from spreading to other continents, and the world was calm again. For 103 years. In 1509, the nation of [[Gondolinus]] wanted to clear Mocze of Fireplague. And so, they fashioned suits, meant to protect against Fireplague. These suits worked for the most part, however, there was a flaw in some of them. This lead to some people being infected, and going back to Gondolinus (and other nations) without noticing. Outbreaks in Gondolinus, Skelmrelm, and others, were popping up more often. The nations tried to stop these from spreading to their mainland, which, for the most part, they were successful. However, the [[War of the Chicken Pie]] stopped because of it.. By this time, a cure was being researched. 5 years later, in 1581, it was finally created and used to render Mocze inhabitable again. And so, Fireplague was removed from the world... almost. Many years later, in 1683, the economy was great. Trade was bustling, and they were the main market for goods such as timber, food, and minerals. However, a terrorist attack done on the city of [[Liefde]] destroyed many trade centers. The terrorist attack led to thousands of homes being destroyed, and Liefde became a ghost town. This brought down the economy so much, in 1684, the economy collapsed. Many people lived in poverty. Since so many nations depended on Skelmrelm for so much, they too reached an economic low. This lasted for 4 years. After the economy slowly recovered, another grave disaster hit the nation. They had full control over the nation of Odorslat; it was where they originally came from, and it was where their capital was located. However, in 1775, a huge earthquake caused the republic to collapse, causing the nation to split into several others. One of the nations was Saldon. In 1837, a disease called [[Lacertiliitis]] had popped up. It caused it's victims saliva to turn into hydrochloric acid, causing them a lot of pain, and death in 2 days. Skelmrelm had funded the research for the cure of Lacertiliitis, however, before the cure arrived, a new strand of it was discovered. It was a combination of Lacertiliitis and Fireplague, called the [[Lacertiliitis-Fireplague]] Virus. Every Skelmish scientist banded together with scientists from other nations to find a cure to it, and every nation went into lockdown. This caused another economic collapse in Skelmrelm. It lasted until the virus was cured, in 1900 AY. == Cities == # [[Skelm]]. This is the capital city of Skelmrelm. Skelm means "sneaky" or "sly" in Afrikaans. # [[Veiligheid]].

They captured the city of [[Bogeva]] and there learned the secret to seafaring boats, therefore giving them the ability to conquer the rest of Del Sacarmo. They then spread to [[Seseco]], had some wars, and established ties with the [[Children of Nephrops]] and the people of [[Odorslat]]. The nation later fell in 1406 due to instability and the [[fireplague]], becoming one of the world's first representative democratic nations. However, the colony on [[Seseco]] later survived until the [[War of the Chicken Pie]]. === Early Oralotzo (1408-1920) === Early Oralotzo had little problems, for three centuries. However, they did support [[Hakha Rakhine]] in their independence war against the Kingdom in Seseco. ==== Lacertiliitis Pandemic (1838-1850) ==== Between 1838 and 1850, Oralotzo was somewhat hard hit by the Lacertiliitis pandemic. This is how much of the Edenarrahan population reached the area. In 1850, the pandemic ended and much returned to normal. Oralotzo also started the National Health Burea after this pandemic. ==== Second Lacertiliitis Pandemic and the Return of Fireplague (1897-1901) ==== For much of the early fireplague-Lacertiliitis pandemic, Oralotzo was majorly unaffected, due to it being mainly concentrated in [[Gondolinius]]. When two boats of refugees reached Oralotzo, they were greeted with open arms- however, much of the population died. Despite striking hard Oralotzo, the north area was largely ignored by the pandemic and a new cult of the spirit Laci became very popular and the nation became somehow immunized, ending the pandemic in the area. The cult of Laci stayed in power, and its leader, who changed his name to Lacitzo, was elected president in 1900 and was re-elected twice over the next coupe of years, finally ending his long term in 1923, with his death. ==== Second Apocalypse (1906-1950) ==== Oralotzo was very hard hit by the second apocalypse, leaving only about a thousand left. These thousand discovered that the fireplague in the pandemic could be used to re-fertilize the soil, and thus set to work. This continued even after Lacitzo's death, until 1950, when then-president Yatzo Laciya decided that they didn't need to care about it anymore. === Modern Times === Ever since, Oralotzo has been pretty much ignoring all wars and has been extremely peaceful. In 1973, Oralotzo announced plans to support the [[Homaric Pact Nations]] in their [[HPN-Eddenarah War|war against Eddenarah]]. == Geography == Oralotzo takes up the entirety of [[Del Sacarmo]]. Meanwhile, their colony of [[New Ehtje]] takes up the western area of New Ehtje, bordering [[Fictia]]'s colony to the south-east. All of Ortalor's territory is grassy, though some of it is somewhat cold. == Economy == Oralotzo's main exports are wood and oil. Oralotzo also produces a lot of gravel, however they choose not to sell it with foreign countries. Past trade deals have been [[Oralian Import of Timber from Chechnyoslovenia|with Chechnyoslovenia]] and [[HPN-Oralian Military Supply Agreement|with the Homaric Pact Nations]]. The official currency of Oralotzo is the [[Coppalet]].

Del Sacarmo does not mean anything in his native language- it could be a misunderstanding for "Del Sacarsmo" (of the sarcasm), but this seems peculiar. In 1971 a petition, still going on (as of 1973), started to rename the continent "Del Oralotzo". ==Geography== ===Terrain=== The continent, while once prone to sandstorms, is a relatively nice-temperatured continent that rarely is affected by much weather. Most of the continent is plains, though there are some forests to the south of the country and some hills in the central-west. The hills include a large gravel deposit, farmed by [[Oralotzo]]. It is east of [[Odorslat]] and west of [[Seseco]]. ===Nations=== The continent is controlled solely by Oralotzo.

These soldiers are in the DFOF Special Arms Unit specialised in quick mobilisation from DFOF to Orsk Army.

The base of all three types is the Canton. A canton's border is decided based on culture, language and overall what the people there want. As of the last update to the summit the cantons were [[Deprivique]], [[Tornve|Tornobyl]], [[Druktyiv]] and [[Letoque Jenois]] ([[Jenois]] joined [[Letoque]] in 1965) The federal territory is a type of canton with '''no regional government and is instead managed by the federal government.''' The only federal territory as of yet is [[Tornve|Tornve City Federal Territory]]. The Capital/Overseas Territory is no longer used (since 1962 when Trovanska Capital seceded from the federation and joined the [[Chkyeb State|Chkyeb State)]].

During [[State of the Federation|Emergency Times]], the DFOF can mobilise the [[Orsk Army]], a branch of the DFOF. All DFOF soldiers are capable of being deployed to the army, however in the federations lifetime it has not yet had to mobilise. The DFOF has mandatory conscription between the ages of 18 and 20. General population above age 21 can be mobilised to the army during [[State of the Federation|Emergency Times]], however unless they officially join they are not members of the DFOF. === Army === See: [[Orsk Army]] ~ 1 million people are recruited to the DFOF, mostly housed in Jenois. We welcome new tank divisions (3) an attack helicopter unit and 2 armoured car divisions. 250k 47's had to be mass produced, 50k M14s 30k Remingtons, 200k M60s and the rest are unarmed for now. These soldiers are in the DFOF Special Arms Unit specialised in quick mobilisation from DFOF to Orsk Army.

Please improve the article for this.'' They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya. Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate the Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and while Eddenarah had the upper hand at first, the Lobsterites gradually improved. When they unified under the name Children of Nephrops then they routed Eddenarah off of the islands. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == ''Main Article: [[Dark Ages]]'' Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish were the Children of Nephrops (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Children of Nephrops (CoN) just to say "HA!" The CoN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The CoN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the CoN's capital. The CoN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The CoN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The CoN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the CoN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the CoN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the CoN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the CoN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the CoN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. South Seseco is also a place of many inventions, the [[Traffic Signal]] (1872, [[Saint Vennes]], [[Deprivique]]), [[Printing Press]] (1450, [[Burges]], [[Grand Duchy of Burges]]) and [[Controlled Access Motorway]] (1913, [[Kvev]], [[Tornobyl]]) were all invented here. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chyeve]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. The two sides united in 1550 to form the Chkyeb Uniate. Expansion continued eastward. In 1620 a civil war began. ==== The Jenois War of 1620 ==== Jenois was an exclave of people who remained in the Mountain Culture. They called themselves Kruchtevs (a common term used to refer to them in a negative light was "Crookies") and their capital was [[Kauter]]. [[Jenois|Jenois City]], as we know it today was an orsk catholic outpost that spoke Letique. The Kruchtevs were under severe penal laws, below is a basic rundown: * Crookies may not buy land unless the land had been owned by another Crookie. * Crookies may not go to school. * Crookies could not practice religion. * Crookies may only speak Letique. * Crookies may not possess anything that could be used to defend themselves * A maximum of one shop could be opened by a Crookie in any one town. * Crookies could only shop at places owned by Crookies. * Crookies could not ride carriages or own horses. * So on, So forth The first "Crookie Uprising" was actually in 1590 but it failed miserably and half of [[Kauter]] was burned to the ground. In 1620, with help from the [[Tornobyl Arms Association]] they were able to start a revolution in Kauter. The surrounding area was quickly captured and the [[Kruchtev Union]] was declared. They were followed by Deprivique, a region also descriminated against because of their Vizantian Catholic faith. Together the two new nations took over everything east of the Chkyiv Mountains. At home, the Uniate was struggling to keep the peace as a new disease called "Crookpox" (named so because many believed it was a consequence of discriminating against the Kruchtevs) was running rampant throughout the country. The [[Kruchtev Union]], [[Deprivique Republic]] and [[Letoque State]] (Puppet of Deprivique) were given fully recognised independance. ==== Reunited ==== In 1720, Letoque joined Deprivique to create the [[Holy Vizantian Union]]. The [[Kruchtev Union]] united with the [[City State of Tornve]] to create the [[New Kruchtev State]]. In 1722 the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] reunited with the [[Verst Empire]] and in 1723 a war began. ==== War of Letoque (1723 - 1770) ==== On the 3rd September 1723 the 2nd Chkyeb Union declared war on the [[Holy Vizantian Union]] and the [[New Kruchtev State]]. At first, their attack was strong, they took over Tornve and many mountanious regions. But then winter hit. The counteroffensive was described by a verst survivor as "Fast and sharp". They mainly attacked at nigh tand in small numbers. The Verst army was pushed all the way back to Verst. By then Tornobyl joined the war and more reinforcements were coming from allied nations. The war went on like this for 47 years. Then they decided they would better just unite, lest lose anymore lives. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the east (1530): The wast was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Let's start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting each other. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. Deprivique natives originated from somewhere along the [[Vizantus Strait]]. They left their homeland of Dovranland due to a war with some neighboring power. We don't know how long ago this was, but best historians estimate that it was during the Post Flood era. [[File:0e5138d4-7ec9-4f38-9982-3b7a8d3af6d5.jpg|center|thumb|Mural in Petersport depicting the natives of Deprivique leaving their homeland circa 1198]]Deprivique was two kingdoms, the Grand Duchy of Hallem and the Kingdom of Leynes (now Petersport). They united in 748 to form the [[Deprivique Union]]. They were invaded by their neighbour, [[Letoque]] to the north ~912 during the [[Letoque Conquests]]. While they were independant not much notable happened. ===== Jenois ===== Today [[Jenois]] is a disputed canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] (Officially it is part of the canton [[Letoque Jenois]]) It does not have a very unique culture at all, they are basically just people from the Chkyiv Mountains who emmigrated west and met the Letoque people. Something that is notable about them is that they were hit incredibly hard during the Lacertiliitis. Almost three quarters of their population died, half of the remaining emmigrated. The city of Jenois was almost empty by 1900. They repopulated at very impressive rates, and today the region has a population of 1.4 Million. ===== Letoque ===== Letoque is and always was the dominant power in the West. The people of Letoque (Letiquain)'s origins are unknown but we think they came from the same place as the Tornoblites. The capital of Letoque is [[Saint Vennes]]. It is the second most populous canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] but has no city over one million in population. Over it's history Letoque has had a very unique take on land, similar to that of the Russian Empire. This encouraged people to spread out which is why they are significantly less dense than the other cantons. Letoque is home to Jenois, a disputed canton in it's east. Letoque lost land and was eventually destroyed in the [[Letoque Wars]] which lasted from 1610 - 1670 and main belligrents were the Verst Empire and Grand Duchy of Burges (GDB seceded from the Chkyeb Uniate in 1620). ==== Summary ==== South Seseco has had a history of civil wars, disease and violent wars, however it has also had times of prosperity. The "Seseco Golden Age" was the time from 1723 - 1803 both started and ended by war, but during which there was no fighting and instead inventions, discoveries and industrialisation. == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the CoN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The CoN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame, which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the CoN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == For those of you who are too lazy to read: basically the three powers of the Centrius Basin were at war off and on for 73 (and a quarter!) years. This was the last major war of this type, and ended with the CoN regaining control of the islands (for now...). In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the CoN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in late 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the CoN capital, while the CoN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). After half a year of this, all sides realized that this type of warfare was entirely unsustainable, and called a year-and-a-half ceasefire to build up their resources. In 1304 AY, Marricopra launched an assault on Centrius, and held and defended the island for ten years. The CoN was too busy rebuilding its capital for what was at least the third time, and so it was no difficulty for Marricopra to hold back the meager Ashmanschkri army, until 1314, when the CoN rejoined the battle, heading straight for the Marricopran capital. It was the worst destruction the area had seen since the Flood. Marricopra immediately moved backwards to defend their capital, and while the CoN-Marricopra conflict went on in what remained of the Valley of Pryoriya, Ashmanschkra took the islands. Marricopra eventually pushed back the CoN to the far East. The loss from this set of fighting sparked another ceasefire, this one lasting four and a half years. This truce was broken by the CoN, who made their first stab at Ashmanschkra. This time it was successful, and they officially owned the Ashmanschrki army (Sevdrolet refused to join this war. This created a rift in the country, but more on this later) for a time. However, the Army of Ashmanschkra the Inevitable refused to be owned by any other faction, and rebelled against the CoN generals, which put a slight dent in the CoN army, but mostly distracted them from the Marricopra 1326 invasion of Centrius. Marricopra owned the islands for another 5 years, in which the CoN ''and'' Ashmanschkra banded together (ironically) to shove them out, but the Marricopran army was so large they couldn't manage this until 1332, and then Ashmanschkra turned on the CoN, and they fought it out for a few years while Marricopra went back to rebuilding and making poisons from the lizards in the only national reserve, which was overhunted anyway. The longest ceasefire was from 1336-1343, after which Marricopra and the CoN simultaneously pulled support from the Order (both North and South). Ashmanschkra admitted defeat and decided to focus on its quickly worsening relations with the pacifist Sevdrolet. Once the Order got involved, almost everything within view was burned to the ground, Centrius became so inhabitable everyone wondered why they still fought over it, and King Vilassey of Marricopra died in battle, leaving no heirs but his niece, Nichra, who became the first Queen of Marricopra. She had little to no popular support, as she was a woman, but proved to be a brilliant strategist and brought Marricopra to an almost decisive victory at the Fourty-Fifth Battle of Great Nephrops Island, until the southern Order turned on them and Marricopra surrendered and shut its doors to the world. The CoN claimed Centrius, renamed it the Grand Lobster Islands, and the Order went home. In 1374, the Treaty of the Lobsterites was signed (grudgingly) by CoN general Parsley and Queen Nichra, who was at the very least lauded for her dignity in the face of such a crushing defeat. == The Fireplague Epidemic: 1406-1455 == The disease technically began spreading in 1402, but given the slowness of travel at the time, it didn't spread beyond the Great and True (Northern) Order until 1406. The One and Only Everlasting Flame apparently had microbes in them. Harmful ones. And after centuries of humans tending to the fire and its odd microbiome, they latched onto the Arch-Priests, and spread throughout the Mocze Desert's tent cities. It began with the Chief Arch-Priest, Bengellus, burning with a 106 degree fever. The next day, all four other Arch-Priests woke up with the same fever, and Bengellus broke out in hives said to burn "as if the Eternal Fire had itself showered its infernal sparks upon the skin." On the third day, Bengellus began vomiting blood. On the fourth, he died. The four remaining Arch-Priests all exhibited the same symptoms, but not within the same time frame. Hibriz died the day the boils appeared; Porops had a fever for a week and then got the boils and coughed blood (and died) all on the same day; Caprokcil only ever had boils, which lasted a week and a half and then he died with no warning; and Nezrel had a fever for two days, boils for a week and a half, and eventually recovered with only some light scarring. From Nezrel and the other four's caretakers, the disease spread across Mocze without warning and with no cure. Only a quarter of the Northern Order survives, and they start lighting fires in what is by then proto-Gondolinius, which spreads the disease through the southern Order like wildfire, and across the ocean to Marricopra via merchant ships. Marricopra gladly passes this on to the CoN and Ashmansckra via Altar (which has begun to rebel). All the guards on Great Nephrops Island die from the disease, but no one dares go replace them for fear of becoming infected themselves. Centrius goes unclaimed - it is during this time that Sevdrolet goes and unofficially names it the Central Archipelago, and the name sticks. The disease is sent north to Odorslat, but very few die as the cold climate cannot sustain the archaea-bacteria [''and yes, I'm basing the vaguely scientific nature of fireplague off of my 7th grade science class'']. What little of the disease can spread makes its way to Del Sacarmo/KoPWARToD, where it eventually dies out but destabilizes the colonial government enough for a complete overhaul, leaving the native [[Oralotzo|Oralians]] to kill the government and begin to rule themselves. After killing about a fifth of the Marricopran population (including the monarch, but they had a direct heir), more than half of Mocze, and a sixth of the rest of the world, the disease eventually dies down in 1455, as the population had naturally immunized itself, save for a few sparse outbreaks in remote areas. == The War of the Chicken Pie: 1507-1509 == ''Main Article: [[War of the Chicken Pie]]'' In 1507 AY, what remained of the KoPWARToD (a small scrap of land on Seseco; now Hakha Rakhine) held the First (and only) International Baking Competition, inviting famous bakers worldwide. Among them were Gondolinius's Oragor Mentaylis, who owned the World's Largest Bakery (and nobody dared fight him on that); Sevdrolet's Jimalangang Kobrob; and the KoPWARToD's Ercal Bogefayal, whose alliance was to the Rakhine rebellion brewing up north. Upon his winning the competition, the judges had no idea what country to award the top prize to, and so (as is, of course, usual) war was declared between the KoPWARToD and Hakha Rakhine. Marricopra threw themselves into the war, angry over the loss of Ashmanschkra and Centrius centuries before (and from getting last place in the competition), and led by Queen Ingelle "the Mad." They quickly drew out after the mysterious death of Ingelle and the ascension of King Billy Bob the Sixth, who gave the KoPWARToD several million dollars in reparations and an apology letter. What remained of the Northern Order finally wiped themselves out by throwing themselves and their disease-ridden bodies into the war. This ended with the Treaty of the Kitchen, the formation of Hakha Rakhine and the final dissolution of the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and the subsequent breakout of fireplague across Seseco. == The Second Fireplague Epidemic: 1509-1576 == The Seseco epidemic ended within a few months (see: the first fireplague epidemic and how that worked on Odorslat), but spread back south to Mocze via merchants from Santa Marino and then to Gondolinius, who sent diseased persons to Silencio and Marricopra out of spite (remember - they had their beginnings as religious fanatics). The two almost declared war in return, but then half of their armies fell ill and they decided otherwise. This epidemic went off and on for the next seventy years, with each breakout having epicenters in oddly diverse places, among them being the new Hakha Rakhine, the southernmost 2 blocks of a city in Odorslat, and Croissant Island. This epidemic ended with the Blizzard to End All Blizzards, which lasted exactly 3 days but was enough to kill the archaea-bacteria worldwide. The disease was confined to the We Hate Fire Quarantine Hospital, which was set up in the Mocze desert over the original site of the fire to ensure no one lighted it again. I would say there was peace from here on out, but there isn't, because this was when I remembered that tectonic plates were a thing. == The Split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet: 1599 and a couple years after that == The large, desert-y island of Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet, named after the two people groups that lived there, was situated on a fault line that became more precarious with each year after the Flood, until it finally broke apart during an earthquake and tsunami just south of the Central Archipelago, creating an event known as the Mini-Flood. The country officially became two (it had been threatening to become so for a while), with Ashmanschkra becoming the war peoples of the west, eagerly helping Altar break from Marricopra, though the Altarians themselves didn't care too much as Marricopra provided financial support. Sevdrolet was a nation of pacifists, and remained strictly neutral in all the Central Basin conflicts, though it formed close ties with the CoN. They became known for their art, and hated being invaded. However, seeing as they had no army, this happened over and over despite their declaring independence and creating more and more statues of famous Sevdroletis, which no one cared to take down as they actually looked quite good. The world began to be split over "do you support Ashmanschkra or Sevdrolet?" but as neither nation had the patience to fight the other, it all came to naught and everyone stopped caring, because the islands had moved into such a location to be perfect for beach vacations and millions flooded there. == The Economic Collapse of 1684 == After a little less than a century of relative-but-not-really peace, war in Skelmrelm completely demolished the economy of said country, bringing upon general economic collapse worldwide, as just about everyone depended on Skelmrelm for one reason or another. Does this name sound unfamiliar? Odorslat had, during this time, undergone yet another civil war that led to its renaming. The citizens were relieved that they were at least not called Knitted-Socks-ians. Skelmrelm during this time had moved past Marricopra in terms of GDP (and, in some areas, development) and become the new world epicenter, especially for the north. Gondolinius still considered Marricopra their main provider, however, and Silencio found the Kingdom easier to access. However, whatever petty disputes they had became unimportant in the face of total annihilation of all they'd worked for. However, with the discovery of oil deposits on Sevdrolet, the world economy slowly rebuilt as nations focused southward, and then back North after the Skelmrelm war ended. By 1690, the world economy had generally stabilized. == The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat == This is why the mountains have two main ranges. However, though the epicenter of this was in the mountains, aftershocks were so strong in the capital (on that bay just south of them) that it was completely demolished. This created a political split over who should rule where and how they should rebuild, and effectively ended the Republic of Odorslat as it was known. War broke out over the ruins of Odorslat-Priyoria, ending with the Treaty of What's Left of Priyoriya that split the country in four: Skelmrelm, the Republic of Saldon, the Kingdom of the Remnant, and the Spire Realm. The Kingdom of the Remnant was basically a puppet state of both Saldon and Skelmrelm, but at different times, seeing as it was located on the ruins of Priyoriya and only populated by a few thousand, mostly scholars and archaeologists there to study and preserve what was left of the city. Odorslat once again was no longer a world power, and Silencio began to compete with Marricopra for the title of highest GDP, until the 1794 Marricopran Revolution (see: [[The We're Sick of King Salamandario Revolution]]), after which the country turned inward to sort out its own problems. By 1799, the world was caught in a precarious balance between Skelmrelm and Silencio, as they had no access to Marricopra's resources (except for Sevdrolet, which the Kingdom just couldn't ignore). This resulted in a slight dip in the economy ~1800, but it eventually stabilized as Silencio began to compensate, and finally Marricopra (which had at last rid itself of Altar) reentered the world, about half the size it had been before. == Lacertiliitis: 1837-1850 == The disease began among the thousands of lizard species found at Great Lacertilia National Park. Still no one knows exactly which species spread it to humans, but the story goes like this: shopowner Tylline Tortatolus and his family visited the park in Firbicus 1837, and three weeks after returning, his wife died. Within the next two days, both of his children complained of pain in their mouth, throat, and stomach. Two days later, they died. Tylline lasted long enough to tell his neighbors of the strange occurrence, and then died in the home of musician Vollus Senddarry. The disease spread from the Senddarry household across the small town of Markpinne. The disease made it via caravan to the capital, and spread quickly through the population there. Then-Queen Nichra III soon realized what was happening and enforced a quarantine in the northeast part of the city, but not before boats carrying timber - the country's main resource - had reached Saldon, Gondolinius, and Oralotzo, spreading the disease there too. Soon testing was performed in the King Jimmy Central Hospital, and it was found that the disease turned one's saliva to hydrochloric acid. Scientists worldwide set to work creating a vaccine, but the most they could do was prevent death, though not entirely. Certain anomalies were found in the poorer parts of the city, where most of the population had already gone through a bout of Lizard Pox, a non-fatal disease spread by the Greeg lizard. Those who had already had the Pox were naturally immune to the disease - named Lacertiliitis after the park where it originated - and so many were hired on as doctors or even merely recipients of tests. They were paid by the government for their trouble, and often hired and paid ridiculous amounts of money to take over positions unstaffed because of the epidemic. Throughout the rest of the world scientists worked aggressively on creating a vaccine, or, in the case of Ashmanschkra, spreading Lizard Pox to as many citizens as possible. Because of this, most of the population had a natural immunity to Lacertiliitis by 1848. It is considered one of the most effective public health initiatives to date. Saldon and Skelmrelm teamed up to create a semi-effective vaccine, which forced out the virus by the second day, often leaving people on the brink of death but at least alive. They took to spreading numbing shots among their population, which at least prevented the pain caused from the acidic saliva. The vaccine was spread with the Kingdom of the Remnant, which consented to being absorbed into Skelmrelm, but the Spire Realm told themselves they could "handle this." They were all dead in three weeks. Gondolinius learned to work with the disease, and the hot climate created its first mutation, spread by melted cells. This resulted in a burning sensation throughout the body, which the Southern Order (now a strong theo-political presence in the area) promoted as a religious experience, not knowing how deadly the disease was. Lacertiliitis and the "Fire of the Heavens" mutation spread even more rapidly throughout Gondolinius and eventually to the abandoned We Hate Fire Hospital, which still had the remains of fireplague all over it. The Imperialist Party of Gondolinius set up an initiative to promote the quarantining of sick individuals. The Southern Order fought back against this relentlessly, creating a split in the general population over whether or not the "Fire of the Heavens" phenomena was a religious experience or a serious medical condition. Those who considered it religious were eventually put in a mental hospital during the Second Apocalypse, and the rest ran away to the desert. That aside, the disease died out in the urban parts of Gondolinius, but thrived in the rural areas around the Fireplague hospital, which created it's own problem, but more on that later... In the CoN, where the disease was spread from Marricopra via Sevdrolet and the oilfield workers there, the disease also mutated, creating something similar to the "Fire of the Heavens" bacteria, but instead causing only the skin to burn and dry out. This version wasn't completely fatal, even though Lizard Pox wasn't prevalent among the CoN. It was thought that the melting of the cells in the unceasing heat lessened the effects, but the disease was eradicated in 1845 due to a spike in heat and a drought, and so was never able to be studied. By 1850, the disease had calmed down worldwide (except for Gondolinius, but that's next). == Lacertiliitis-Fireplague Meltdown: 1895-1901 == The worst pandemic known to mankind. It began in what was renamed the Great Imperial Quarantine Hospital in central Gondolinius (the site has once again been abandoned, and is no longer owned by the country), where the archaea-bacteria known as fireplague had lain dormant on all the abandoned tools, beds, and especially in the indent in the floor that had once been the One and Only Everlasting Flame. As Lacertiliitis patients flooded in, using all the infected equipment and lying in the fireplague-infested beds, the two diseases began to combine, resulting in the first case of what was known, rather creatively, as "Lacertiliitis-fireplague." The first recorded patient was Appap Nipzap, a dockworker, of southern Gondolinius. He first reported a 106-degree fever - the universal signal of fireplague - and the next day his skin turned red, and he was said to claim it "burned worse than the Fire of the Heavens" (a disease he had, at first, survived). Three days after first reporting a fever, the red receded, turning into small boils that bled. After five days he appeared to be recovering, until he reported the signifying mouth-esophagus-stomach pain that came with Lacertiliitis. After a week, he finally coughed up blood and died. The new mutation spread throughout the hospital faster than even the Fire of the Heavens, apparently being more contagious than any previous strain (spread via touch), leaving only two survivors - very pregnant women - who had a strange natural immunity. Lacertiliitis-fireplague spread slowly south and then trickled through the poorer, non-immune southern Gondolinius population. Before the Gondolinian government could figure out what was happening, thousands of carriers, sick, and healthy alike had boarded boats to Gusmoas and Oralotzo, one of the world's least populated areas. This mass exodus became the downfall of Imperial Gondolinius, but not quite yet. The sick aboard the Gusmoas-bound boats all died on the way, and only four remained and made it to land. They set fire to the boats they came on and as they incorporated themselves into the Silencian population, millions more died. The several dozens remaining declared themselves Gods and fled into the mountains, only to be discovered nearly a century later by the Orsk Federation. Silencio collapsed, utterly and completely, and the land became inhabitable, overrun by plants, weeds, and rabid animals. On Del Sacarmo, which was still dry and dusty from the sandstorms that plagued them almost a thousand years ago, received the refugees with open arms, only to kill three-quarters of the population. Only those in the North survived, quarantining themselves. The Orsk Federation received the disease via shipments from Santa Marino, and only went into lockdown after half of the population had been killed. Sometime during this the disease makes its way to Marricopra, where it kills King Jimmy the Nineteenth (and last), sending the Kingdom into upheaval. By 1896 the whole world is in lockdown, save for Odorslat, which can't sustain itself very well and goes to war. Saldon and Skelmrelm begin a decades-long war over the general control of Odorslat, which is slowly starving to death. Skelmrelm decides to send all of its scientists to the Central Archipelago, and other countries follow suit. The Shrine of the Great Star Lobster becomes a giant lab, with everyone working according to their own time zone schedule so work is always being done. In 1897 a vaccine is created by a team of Skelmish, Altarian, and Sevdroleti scientists. By 1901, the vaccine is distributed worldwide and rebuilding begins. Until the Second End of the World comes. == The Second Apocalypse: 1906 == For a land inhabited by a religious group whose only claim to fame was that they started fires incessantly, there was only one Fire War. There were 12 - exactly twelve, and three were children - members of the Northern Order left. They lived a little North of the We Hate Fire Hospital, in tents, and obsessively lit up random patches of desert. Every year they got more and more mad at the financial support lent to the Southern Order and those who defected from the North, until they were all positively boiling with anger and in 1906 set fire to the capital of Gondolinius. Gondolinius assumed it was Marricopra - as they were prone to do, after the Seventy-Three-and-A-Half-Years War - and declared war on the very weakened kingdom. And then it happened. The fires, as it turned out, were ''still'' full of fireplague - somehow - and within a week both Gondolinius and Marricopra had a full-fledged outbreak on their hands. Gondolinius gave Marricopra a half-hearted apology and then returned to declare war on the Northern Order. But there were only 12 in the Order, and Gondolinius was still angry and so turned on itself and the Southern Order allies in Marricopra. So began the Fire Wars, with the Southern Order lighting anything aflame that stood in their path. At one point, they appeared to be gaining the upper hand, but then half of them came down with the newest Lacertiliitis-fireplague mutation. Though much of the world was vaccinated, the vaccine only worked on the 1895 strain, and those who had had Lizard Pox previously only had a 3-in-5 chance of recovery. From Marricopra the new strain spread to Altar, then to Ashmanschkra. From Gondolinius it went to Gusmoas, Santa Marino, and then to Seseco. Nowhere was safe anymore: the heat couldn't melt the diseased cells, and the cold couldn't kill them. The Fire Wars became an absolute farce, with no real end to them after the Gondolinian Emperor died of the plague. The Order was considered once and for all extinct, though it was rumored that members were still strewn worldwide, lighting fires in secret. Altar was so crippled by the plague and war effort that they consented to being owned by Ashmanschkra for a time. However, the Ashmanschkran government finally collapsed, for once and for all, ruined by internal fighting and the overabundance of Greeg lizards. Sevdrolet was finally overrun by the CoN, but then they all got sick. Sevdrolet had no official government after they all died of the plague, and the CoN retreated into itself, eventually being renamed the HPN. The Odorslatian governments survived; however, both were severely weakened and broke out into a few civil wars that all ended in painful deaths for all parties involved. Gusmoas continued to have no contact with the outside world, becoming increasingly more superstitious and oddly religious, founding the Church of the Party People in the Trees. The Basilica of the Treehouse was built on the ruins of the Palace of Tressene. The mountain people built a massive temple to their founders, which is actually quite beautiful - adorned with intricate carvings, reflecting pools, and floating candles, etc - that still stands today. They call it the First Wonder of the Modern World, and honestly, who can dispute that? Seseco had... problems (see: South Seseco). Oralotzo was almost completely wiped out, but a few thousand survived. They decided to work on re-fertilizing their soil, and only had contact with Skelmrelm. And the Kingdom of Marricopra, ruled by King Bantramus II, finally collapsed. With that ended the world's Second Age, and in 1920, Skelmrelm declared that the Second Apocalypse was over. So began the Third Age.

It's a refugee empire made of various groups who fled from [[Seseco]] during the Second Apocalypse to a place so cold and abandoned, they figured they'd be safe. Since things stabilized in 1920, this section of the ice cap was largely composed of various warring microstates until the arrival of the mysterious Time Traveler in 1973, who united the groups and turned them into Fictia. == Etymology == The Fictian Empire is derived from the name "Fictia", which is of completely unknown origin. The Time Traveler's suggestions (see history) are the reason the name became adopted for the new country. There is a possibility it is derived from [[Spire Realm|the Old Spirian]] word *pikshi "fake, false, mythical" though it is most likely not true. == History == === Origins === ==== Settlement ==== Most of the territory of the modern Fictian Empire has, for almost all of history, been an unpopulated ice shelf. This only began to change in the early 1900s, when the [[World History#The Second Apocalypse: 1906|Second Apocalypse]] caused chaos worldwide, including a collapse in many nations located on the continent of Seseco People fearing the destruction or with no place to go bought (or stole) boats and emigrated in droves, heading to the northern ice cap which the refugees figured was open land nearby, yet too insignificant for other nations to invade (or the infamous [[fireplague-lacitiis]] plague). This group struggled greatly to build shelters or obtain food on the tundra, and so only about 33% of the migrants are thought to have survived (or not fled) to settle. ==== War ==== In the 1920s, the settlers of the Septrontiland ice shelf had begun to unite with each other into numerous tiny nations best comparable to chiefdoms (largely due to the fact refugees from every nation on Seseco, and some from elsewhere, inhabited the area). For the next 50 years, there was continuous warfare between these unimportant chiefdoms which were ignored by literally the entire rest of the world. Some would be listed here, but the majority were failed raids and the complete history is so boring you'd likely fall asleep reading the first paragraph. === Foundation === This changed in 1973, when a mysterious figure in an extremely expensive and fancy coat appeared from nowhere and traveled between the weak chiefdoms. He visited each and every one and spoke at town meetings where he advocated for a new way of life. "Being so weak and divided is ungroovy!", he often said. "If this ice shelf unites under one country, it will be mighty and nothing can be groovier!" His arguments began to win over the chiefdoms, who agreed to cease fighting and unite under a state the mysterious time traveler (as everyone presumed from the decade-old slang) would set up. He had some extremely strange ideas: for maximum "grooviness", the nation would have to adopt a mysterious, otherworldly flag and the name of "Fictia" which was completely unheard of in the ice shelf. He insisted the identity would make the ice shelf the founder of a great and even universal empire. The new country took form as an absolute monarchy under a complex bureaucracy that incorporated many of the formal petty chiefdom rulers. The ruler, according to the Time Traveler, had to be named "George" according to some ancient universal law, so a random baker with that name was declared the 1st Fictian Emperor. But after all of this had occurred, the Time Traveler made a comment to himself about having made "a mistake in the wrong dimension" and disappeared without a trace. The Fictians didn't care about his vanishing though, and the new empire is determined to become powerful and fulfill the promises given to them. To secure some non-polar land, a small force was sent by ship to secure land in the newly-discovered [[New Ehtje]] region to the East, and there began building the imperial capital of [[Very Lengthy And Undescriptive-Named City]]. An Exarch elected by the residents of the Septrontiland ice shelf and approved by the Emperor in that region, making such distant rule a possibility. Things are looking bright for the new Empire, which is now seeking allies and vowing to "never give up, let down, run around, or desert" it's allies (lyrics from a song the Time Traveler insisted as national anthem). == Government == === Basics: === Fictia is an absolute monarchy, with [[Emperor George VII|George VII]] as the current emperor. The monarch can do anything he wants as long as it doesn't contradict existing law (this will likely become a problem...), and has direct control over the capital (which has a name is long to write another time) and the surrounding province of Tutus. Supporting his rule is a complex bureaucracy composing of yearly-elected local officials (for villages, towns, and city departments), imperial-appointed governors over each province (selected by the merit of local officials-or at first warring chiefs), and finally a group of ministers in charge of the imperial bureaus who are also chosen by merit. In distant territories, the emperor is expected to appoint an Exarch who serves as a civil and military governor of the territory, with effectively unlimited power unless the emperor or law contradicts him. Exarchs are to be selected by the population of the territory in an election and then approved by the emperor (who has complete veto power), but have no fixed term lengths until they die or resign. This makes it possible for foreign territories to have self-rule and respond to invasions themselves, and helps to keep down unrest/rebellions in the Empire. The original glacier territories on Septrontiland, divided into the provinces of Frigida and Calidum, are currently organized as the [[Exarchate of Septrontiland]] under the rule of [[Robert Magnus]], also originally a warring chief and the most successful of them. === Bureaus === === Provinces === == Foreign Relations == [[Category:Countries]] 0d18d65593ad3614476ce04ef412cbf9a7612d91 553 552 2023-10-14T15:07:14Z Asisi Games Co2 14 /* Foreign Relations */ wikitext text/x-wiki [[File:Fictian Flag.png|thumb|282x282px| {| class="wikitable" |+ !'''Fictian Empire''' |- !

It's a refugee empire made of various groups who fled from [[Seseco]] during the Second Apocalypse to a place so cold and abandoned, they figured they'd be safe. Since things stabilized in 1920, this section of the ice cap was largely composed of various warring microstates until the arrival of the mysterious Time Traveler in 1973, who united the groups and turned them into Fictia. == Etymology == The Fictian Empire is derived from the name "Fictia", which is of completely unknown origin.

The group pushes for the return of the Marricopran Monarchy. === Start === The first protest was in [[Machrannah Square]], the capital of Eddenarah. The protest included an estimated two thousand people. After the protest was brought down by the cops, Marricopran president [[Abrion Happlar]] begged [[Fictia]] to help with the uprising. The official speech made by Abrion said "Democracy is important for the progression of people! We must never reinstate such an autocratic society. We can never have another King [[Salamandario]]! Freedom for the people - freedom for the world! Down on the aristocracy! And please - help us fund the Election of '74!". Shortly after this, Happlar announced his candidacy for the [[Marricopran 1974 Presidential Election]], with the slogan "Vote Happlar: Together, we'll make Marricopra the home of democracy!". === Fictian Support === Meanwhile, Fictia put up (in true [[Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust]] style) a large sign saying "Yes!" as well as sending over Fictian diplomat [[Hugh Loquax]]. James sent a letter to Fictian monarch [[George VII]] about the irony of Fictia, a monarchy, aiding Eddenarah to overthrow a monarchy, as well as seizing the [[Department of Sending Letters We'd Really Rather Not But Have to for Political Reasons.]] George, confused by the situation, sent a letter to James to talk this out with Abrion, him, and George. George proposed for the Marricopran Monarchy to be re-instated but provinces retaining democratic elections, similar to in Fictia. While Fictia soon declared neutral in the situation, Fictia told Hugh to keep supporting the current Eddenaran government. === James Changes Strategies === James soon pushed for the descendants of the former Marricopran nobles to run for various positions in the government, himself running for Speaker of the People with the oddly familiar tagline "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Make_America_Great_Again Make Marricopra Great Again!]". This also caused Fictia to change sides and support this. However, Hugh told the nobles campaigning to "leave democracy alone for best results and to prevent a Homaric invasion", should they get elected. === HPN-Marricopra War Involvement === [[Oralotzo]] announced that they would use this to invade earlier on in the conflict, but later decided to stop any chance of invasion.

Please improve the article for this.'' They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya. Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == ''Main Article: [[Arachus Betznel]]'' They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate the Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and while Eddenarah had the upper hand at first, the Lobsterites gradually improved. When they unified under the name Children of Nephrops then they routed Eddenarah off of the islands. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == ''Main Article: [[Dark Ages]]'' Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish were the Children of Nephrops (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Children of Nephrops (CoN) just to say "HA!" The CoN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The CoN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the CoN's capital. The CoN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The CoN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The CoN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the CoN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the CoN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the CoN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the CoN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the CoN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. South Seseco is also a place of many inventions, the [[Traffic Signal]] (1872, [[Saint Vennes]], [[Deprivique]]), [[Printing Press]] (1450, [[Burges]], [[Grand Duchy of Burges]]) and [[Controlled Access Motorway]] (1913, [[Kvev]], [[Tornobyl]]) were all invented here. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chyeve]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. The two sides united in 1550 to form the Chkyeb Uniate. Expansion continued eastward. In 1620 a civil war began. ==== The Jenois War of 1620 ==== Jenois was an exclave of people who remained in the Mountain Culture. They called themselves Kruchtevs (a common term used to refer to them in a negative light was "Crookies") and their capital was [[Kauter]]. [[Jenois|Jenois City]], as we know it today was an orsk catholic outpost that spoke Letique. The Kruchtevs were under severe penal laws, below is a basic rundown: * Crookies may not buy land unless the land had been owned by another Crookie. * Crookies may not go to school. * Crookies could not practice religion. * Crookies may only speak Letique. * Crookies may not possess anything that could be used to defend themselves * A maximum of one shop could be opened by a Crookie in any one town. * Crookies could only shop at places owned by Crookies. * Crookies could not ride carriages or own horses. * So on, So forth The first "Crookie Uprising" was actually in 1590 but it failed miserably and half of [[Kauter]] was burned to the ground. In 1620, with help from the [[Tornobyl Arms Association]] they were able to start a revolution in Kauter. The surrounding area was quickly captured and the [[Kruchtev Union]] was declared. They were followed by Deprivique, a region also descriminated against because of their Vizantian Catholic faith. Together the two new nations took over everything east of the Chkyiv Mountains. At home, the Uniate was struggling to keep the peace as a new disease called "Crookpox" (named so because many believed it was a consequence of discriminating against the Kruchtevs) was running rampant throughout the country. The [[Kruchtev Union]], [[Deprivique Republic]] and [[Letoque State]] (Puppet of Deprivique) were given fully recognised independance. ==== Reunited ==== In 1720, Letoque joined Deprivique to create the [[Holy Vizantian Union]]. The [[Kruchtev Union]] united with the [[City State of Tornve]] to create the [[New Kruchtev State]]. In 1722 the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] reunited with the [[Verst Empire]] and in 1723 a war began. ==== War of Letoque (1723 - 1770) ==== On the 3rd September 1723 the 2nd Chkyeb Union declared war on the [[Holy Vizantian Union]] and the [[New Kruchtev State]]. At first, their attack was strong, they took over Tornve and many mountanious regions. But then winter hit. The counteroffensive was described by a verst survivor as "Fast and sharp". They mainly attacked at nigh tand in small numbers. The Verst army was pushed all the way back to Verst. By then Tornobyl joined the war and more reinforcements were coming from allied nations. The war went on like this for 47 years. Then they decided they would better just unite, lest lose anymore lives. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the east (1530): The wast was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Let's start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting each other. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. Deprivique natives originated from somewhere along the [[Vizantus Strait]]. They left their homeland of Dovranland due to a war with some neighboring power. We don't know how long ago this was, but best historians estimate that it was during the Post Flood era. [[File:0e5138d4-7ec9-4f38-9982-3b7a8d3af6d5.jpg|center|thumb|Mural in Petersport depicting the natives of Deprivique leaving their homeland circa 1198]]Deprivique was two kingdoms, the Grand Duchy of Hallem and the Kingdom of Leynes (now Petersport). They united in 748 to form the [[Deprivique Union]]. They were invaded by their neighbour, [[Letoque]] to the north ~912 during the [[Letoque Conquests]]. While they were independant not much notable happened. ===== Jenois ===== Today [[Jenois]] is a disputed canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] (Officially it is part of the canton [[Letoque Jenois]]) It does not have a very unique culture at all, they are basically just people from the Chkyiv Mountains who emmigrated west and met the Letoque people. Something that is notable about them is that they were hit incredibly hard during the Lacertiliitis. Almost three quarters of their population died, half of the remaining emmigrated. The city of Jenois was almost empty by 1900. They repopulated at very impressive rates, and today the region has a population of 1.4 Million. ===== Letoque ===== Letoque is and always was the dominant power in the West. The people of Letoque (Letiquain)'s origins are unknown but we think they came from the same place as the Tornoblites. The capital of Letoque is [[Saint Vennes]]. It is the second most populous canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] but has no city over one million in population. Over it's history Letoque has had a very unique take on land, similar to that of the Russian Empire. This encouraged people to spread out which is why they are significantly less dense than the other cantons. Letoque is home to Jenois, a disputed canton in it's east. Letoque lost land and was eventually destroyed in the [[Letoque Wars]] which lasted from 1610 - 1670 and main belligrents were the Verst Empire and Grand Duchy of Burges (GDB seceded from the Chkyeb Uniate in 1620). ==== Summary ==== South Seseco has had a history of civil wars, disease and violent wars, however it has also had times of prosperity. The "Seseco Golden Age" was the time from 1723 - 1803 both started and ended by war, but during which there was no fighting and instead inventions, discoveries and industrialisation. == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the CoN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The CoN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame, which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the CoN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == For those of you who are too lazy to read: basically the three powers of the Centrius Basin were at war off and on for 73 (and a quarter!) years. This was the last major war of this type, and ended with the CoN regaining control of the islands (for now...). In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the CoN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in late 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the CoN capital, while the CoN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). After half a year of this, all sides realized that this type of warfare was entirely unsustainable, and called a year-and-a-half ceasefire to build up their resources. In 1304 AY, Marricopra launched an assault on Centrius, and held and defended the island for ten years. The CoN was too busy rebuilding its capital for what was at least the third time, and so it was no difficulty for Marricopra to hold back the meager Ashmanschkri army, until 1314, when the CoN rejoined the battle, heading straight for the Marricopran capital. It was the worst destruction the area had seen since the Flood. Marricopra immediately moved backwards to defend their capital, and while the CoN-Marricopra conflict went on in what remained of the Valley of Pryoriya, Ashmanschkra took the islands. Marricopra eventually pushed back the CoN to the far East. The loss from this set of fighting sparked another ceasefire, this one lasting four and a half years. This truce was broken by the CoN, who made their first stab at Ashmanschkra. This time it was successful, and they officially owned the Ashmanschrki army (Sevdrolet refused to join this war. This created a rift in the country, but more on this later) for a time. However, the Army of Ashmanschkra the Inevitable refused to be owned by any other faction, and rebelled against the CoN generals, which put a slight dent in the CoN army, but mostly distracted them from the Marricopra 1326 invasion of Centrius. Marricopra owned the islands for another 5 years, in which the CoN ''and'' Ashmanschkra banded together (ironically) to shove them out, but the Marricopran army was so large they couldn't manage this until 1332, and then Ashmanschkra turned on the CoN, and they fought it out for a few years while Marricopra went back to rebuilding and making poisons from the lizards in the only national reserve, which was overhunted anyway. The longest ceasefire was from 1336-1343, after which Marricopra and the CoN simultaneously pulled support from the Order (both North and South). Ashmanschkra admitted defeat and decided to focus on its quickly worsening relations with the pacifist Sevdrolet. Once the Order got involved, almost everything within view was burned to the ground, Centrius became so inhabitable everyone wondered why they still fought over it, and King Vilassey of Marricopra died in battle, leaving no heirs but his niece, Nichra, who became the first Queen of Marricopra. She had little to no popular support, as she was a woman, but proved to be a brilliant strategist and brought Marricopra to an almost decisive victory at the Fourty-Fifth Battle of Great Nephrops Island, until the southern Order turned on them and Marricopra surrendered and shut its doors to the world. The CoN claimed Centrius, renamed it the Grand Lobster Islands, and the Order went home. In 1374, the Treaty of the Lobsterites was signed (grudgingly) by CoN general Parsley and Queen Nichra, who was at the very least lauded for her dignity in the face of such a crushing defeat. == The Fireplague Epidemic: 1406-1455 == The disease technically began spreading in 1402, but given the slowness of travel at the time, it didn't spread beyond the Great and True (Northern) Order until 1406. The One and Only Everlasting Flame apparently had microbes in them. Harmful ones. And after centuries of humans tending to the fire and its odd microbiome, they latched onto the Arch-Priests, and spread throughout the Mocze Desert's tent cities. It began with the Chief Arch-Priest, Bengellus, burning with a 106 degree fever. The next day, all four other Arch-Priests woke up with the same fever, and Bengellus broke out in hives said to burn "as if the Eternal Fire had itself showered its infernal sparks upon the skin." On the third day, Bengellus began vomiting blood. On the fourth, he died. The four remaining Arch-Priests all exhibited the same symptoms, but not within the same time frame. Hibriz died the day the boils appeared; Porops had a fever for a week and then got the boils and coughed blood (and died) all on the same day; Caprokcil only ever had boils, which lasted a week and a half and then he died with no warning; and Nezrel had a fever for two days, boils for a week and a half, and eventually recovered with only some light scarring. From Nezrel and the other four's caretakers, the disease spread across Mocze without warning and with no cure. Only a quarter of the Northern Order survives, and they start lighting fires in what is by then proto-Gondolinius, which spreads the disease through the southern Order like wildfire, and across the ocean to Marricopra via merchant ships. Marricopra gladly passes this on to the CoN and Ashmansckra via Altar (which has begun to rebel). All the guards on Great Nephrops Island die from the disease, but no one dares go replace them for fear of becoming infected themselves. Centrius goes unclaimed - it is during this time that Sevdrolet goes and unofficially names it the Central Archipelago, and the name sticks. The disease is sent north to Odorslat, but very few die as the cold climate cannot sustain the archaea-bacteria [''and yes, I'm basing the vaguely scientific nature of fireplague off of my 7th grade science class'']. What little of the disease can spread makes its way to Del Sacarmo/KoPWARToD, where it eventually dies out but destabilizes the colonial government enough for a complete overhaul, leaving the native [[Oralotzo|Oralians]] to kill the government and begin to rule themselves. After killing about a fifth of the Marricopran population (including the monarch, but they had a direct heir), more than half of Mocze, and a sixth of the rest of the world, the disease eventually dies down in 1455, as the population had naturally immunized itself, save for a few sparse outbreaks in remote areas. == The War of the Chicken Pie: 1507-1509 == ''Main Article: [[War of the Chicken Pie]]'' In 1507 AY, what remained of the KoPWARToD (a small scrap of land on Seseco; now Hakha Rakhine) held the First (and only) International Baking Competition, inviting famous bakers worldwide. Among them were Gondolinius's Oragor Mentaylis, who owned the World's Largest Bakery (and nobody dared fight him on that); Sevdrolet's Jimalangang Kobrob; and the KoPWARToD's Ercal Bogefayal, whose alliance was to the Rakhine rebellion brewing up north. Upon his winning the competition, the judges had no idea what country to award the top prize to, and so (as is, of course, usual) war was declared between the KoPWARToD and Hakha Rakhine. Marricopra threw themselves into the war, angry over the loss of Ashmanschkra and Centrius centuries before (and from getting last place in the competition), and led by Queen Ingelle "the Mad." They quickly drew out after the mysterious death of Ingelle and the ascension of King Billy Bob the Sixth, who gave the KoPWARToD several million dollars in reparations and an apology letter. What remained of the Northern Order finally wiped themselves out by throwing themselves and their disease-ridden bodies into the war. This ended with the Treaty of the Kitchen, the formation of Hakha Rakhine and the final dissolution of the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and the subsequent breakout of fireplague across Seseco. == The Second Fireplague Epidemic: 1509-1576 == The Seseco epidemic ended within a few months (see: the first fireplague epidemic and how that worked on Odorslat), but spread back south to Mocze via merchants from Santa Marino and then to Gondolinius, who sent diseased persons to Silencio and Marricopra out of spite (remember - they had their beginnings as religious fanatics). The two almost declared war in return, but then half of their armies fell ill and they decided otherwise. This epidemic went off and on for the next seventy years, with each breakout having epicenters in oddly diverse places, among them being the new Hakha Rakhine, the southernmost 2 blocks of a city in Odorslat, and Croissant Island. This epidemic ended with the Blizzard to End All Blizzards, which lasted exactly 3 days but was enough to kill the archaea-bacteria worldwide. The disease was confined to the We Hate Fire Quarantine Hospital, which was set up in the Mocze desert over the original site of the fire to ensure no one lighted it again. I would say there was peace from here on out, but there isn't, because this was when I remembered that tectonic plates were a thing. == The Split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet: 1599 and a couple years after that == The large, desert-y island of Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet, named after the two people groups that lived there, was situated on a fault line that became more precarious with each year after the Flood, until it finally broke apart during an earthquake and tsunami just south of the Central Archipelago, creating an event known as the Mini-Flood. The country officially became two (it had been threatening to become so for a while), with Ashmanschkra becoming the war peoples of the west, eagerly helping Altar break from Marricopra, though the Altarians themselves didn't care too much as Marricopra provided financial support. Sevdrolet was a nation of pacifists, and remained strictly neutral in all the Central Basin conflicts, though it formed close ties with the CoN. They became known for their art, and hated being invaded. However, seeing as they had no army, this happened over and over despite their declaring independence and creating more and more statues of famous Sevdroletis, which no one cared to take down as they actually looked quite good. The world began to be split over "do you support Ashmanschkra or Sevdrolet?" but as neither nation had the patience to fight the other, it all came to naught and everyone stopped caring, because the islands had moved into such a location to be perfect for beach vacations and millions flooded there. == The Economic Collapse of 1684 == After a little less than a century of relative-but-not-really peace, war in Skelmrelm completely demolished the economy of said country, bringing upon general economic collapse worldwide, as just about everyone depended on Skelmrelm for one reason or another. Does this name sound unfamiliar? Odorslat had, during this time, undergone yet another civil war that led to its renaming. The citizens were relieved that they were at least not called Knitted-Socks-ians. Skelmrelm during this time had moved past Marricopra in terms of GDP (and, in some areas, development) and become the new world epicenter, especially for the north. Gondolinius still considered Marricopra their main provider, however, and Silencio found the Kingdom easier to access. However, whatever petty disputes they had became unimportant in the face of total annihilation of all they'd worked for. However, with the discovery of oil deposits on Sevdrolet, the world economy slowly rebuilt as nations focused southward, and then back North after the Skelmrelm war ended. By 1690, the world economy had generally stabilized. == The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat == This is why the mountains have two main ranges. However, though the epicenter of this was in the mountains, aftershocks were so strong in the capital (on that bay just south of them) that it was completely demolished. This created a political split over who should rule where and how they should rebuild, and effectively ended the Republic of Odorslat as it was known. War broke out over the ruins of Odorslat-Priyoria, ending with the Treaty of What's Left of Priyoriya that split the country in four: Skelmrelm, the Republic of Saldon, the Kingdom of the Remnant, and the Spire Realm. The Kingdom of the Remnant was basically a puppet state of both Saldon and Skelmrelm, but at different times, seeing as it was located on the ruins of Priyoriya and only populated by a few thousand, mostly scholars and archaeologists there to study and preserve what was left of the city. Odorslat once again was no longer a world power, and Silencio began to compete with Marricopra for the title of highest GDP, until the 1794 Marricopran Revolution (see: [[The We're Sick of King Salamandario Revolution]]), after which the country turned inward to sort out its own problems. By 1799, the world was caught in a precarious balance between Skelmrelm and Silencio, as they had no access to Marricopra's resources (except for Sevdrolet, which the Kingdom just couldn't ignore). This resulted in a slight dip in the economy ~1800, but it eventually stabilized as Silencio began to compensate, and finally Marricopra (which had at last rid itself of Altar) reentered the world, about half the size it had been before. == Lacertiliitis: 1837-1850 == The disease began among the thousands of lizard species found at Great Lacertilia National Park. Still no one knows exactly which species spread it to humans, but the story goes like this: shopowner Tylline Tortatolus and his family visited the park in Firbicus 1837, and three weeks after returning, his wife died. Within the next two days, both of his children complained of pain in their mouth, throat, and stomach. Two days later, they died. Tylline lasted long enough to tell his neighbors of the strange occurrence, and then died in the home of musician Vollus Senddarry. The disease spread from the Senddarry household across the small town of Markpinne. The disease made it via caravan to the capital, and spread quickly through the population there. Then-Queen Nichra III soon realized what was happening and enforced a quarantine in the northeast part of the city, but not before boats carrying timber - the country's main resource - had reached Saldon, Gondolinius, and Oralotzo, spreading the disease there too. Soon testing was performed in the King Jimmy Central Hospital, and it was found that the disease turned one's saliva to hydrochloric acid. Scientists worldwide set to work creating a vaccine, but the most they could do was prevent death, though not entirely. Certain anomalies were found in the poorer parts of the city, where most of the population had already gone through a bout of Lizard Pox, a non-fatal disease spread by the Greeg lizard. Those who had already had the Pox were naturally immune to the disease - named Lacertiliitis after the park where it originated - and so many were hired on as doctors or even merely recipients of tests. They were paid by the government for their trouble, and often hired and paid ridiculous amounts of money to take over positions unstaffed because of the epidemic. Throughout the rest of the world scientists worked aggressively on creating a vaccine, or, in the case of Ashmanschkra, spreading Lizard Pox to as many citizens as possible. Because of this, most of the population had a natural immunity to Lacertiliitis by 1848. It is considered one of the most effective public health initiatives to date. Saldon and Skelmrelm teamed up to create a semi-effective vaccine, which forced out the virus by the second day, often leaving people on the brink of death but at least alive. They took to spreading numbing shots among their population, which at least prevented the pain caused from the acidic saliva. The vaccine was spread with the Kingdom of the Remnant, which consented to being absorbed into Skelmrelm, but the Spire Realm told themselves they could "handle this." They were all dead in three weeks. Gondolinius learned to work with the disease, and the hot climate created its first mutation, spread by melted cells. This resulted in a burning sensation throughout the body, which the Southern Order (now a strong theo-political presence in the area) promoted as a religious experience, not knowing how deadly the disease was. Lacertiliitis and the "Fire of the Heavens" mutation spread even more rapidly throughout Gondolinius and eventually to the abandoned We Hate Fire Hospital, which still had the remains of fireplague all over it. The Imperialist Party of Gondolinius set up an initiative to promote the quarantining of sick individuals. The Southern Order fought back against this relentlessly, creating a split in the general population over whether or not the "Fire of the Heavens" phenomena was a religious experience or a serious medical condition. Those who considered it religious were eventually put in a mental hospital during the Second Apocalypse, and the rest ran away to the desert. That aside, the disease died out in the urban parts of Gondolinius, but thrived in the rural areas around the Fireplague hospital, which created it's own problem, but more on that later... In the CoN, where the disease was spread from Marricopra via Sevdrolet and the oilfield workers there, the disease also mutated, creating something similar to the "Fire of the Heavens" bacteria, but instead causing only the skin to burn and dry out. This version wasn't completely fatal, even though Lizard Pox wasn't prevalent among the CoN. It was thought that the melting of the cells in the unceasing heat lessened the effects, but the disease was eradicated in 1845 due to a spike in heat and a drought, and so was never able to be studied. By 1850, the disease had calmed down worldwide (except for Gondolinius, but that's next). == Lacertiliitis-Fireplague Meltdown: 1895-1901 == The worst pandemic known to mankind. It began in what was renamed the Great Imperial Quarantine Hospital in central Gondolinius (the site has once again been abandoned, and is no longer owned by the country), where the archaea-bacteria known as fireplague had lain dormant on all the abandoned tools, beds, and especially in the indent in the floor that had once been the One and Only Everlasting Flame. As Lacertiliitis patients flooded in, using all the infected equipment and lying in the fireplague-infested beds, the two diseases began to combine, resulting in the first case of what was known, rather creatively, as "Lacertiliitis-fireplague." The first recorded patient was Appap Nipzap, a dockworker, of southern Gondolinius. He first reported a 106-degree fever - the universal signal of fireplague - and the next day his skin turned red, and he was said to claim it "burned worse than the Fire of the Heavens" (a disease he had, at first, survived). Three days after first reporting a fever, the red receded, turning into small boils that bled. After five days he appeared to be recovering, until he reported the signifying mouth-esophagus-stomach pain that came with Lacertiliitis. After a week, he finally coughed up blood and died. The new mutation spread throughout the hospital faster than even the Fire of the Heavens, apparently being more contagious than any previous strain (spread via touch), leaving only two survivors - very pregnant women - who had a strange natural immunity. Lacertiliitis-fireplague spread slowly south and then trickled through the poorer, non-immune southern Gondolinius population. Before the Gondolinian government could figure out what was happening, thousands of carriers, sick, and healthy alike had boarded boats to Gusmoas and Oralotzo, one of the world's least populated areas. This mass exodus became the downfall of Imperial Gondolinius, but not quite yet. The sick aboard the Gusmoas-bound boats all died on the way, and only four remained and made it to land. They set fire to the boats they came on and as they incorporated themselves into the Silencian population, millions more died. The several dozens remaining declared themselves Gods and fled into the mountains, only to be discovered nearly a century later by the Orsk Federation. Silencio collapsed, utterly and completely, and the land became inhabitable, overrun by plants, weeds, and rabid animals. On Del Sacarmo, which was still dry and dusty from the sandstorms that plagued them almost a thousand years ago, received the refugees with open arms, only to kill three-quarters of the population. Only those in the North survived, quarantining themselves. The Orsk Federation received the disease via shipments from Santa Marino, and only went into lockdown after half of the population had been killed. Sometime during this the disease makes its way to Marricopra, where it kills King Jimmy the Nineteenth (and last), sending the Kingdom into upheaval. By 1896 the whole world is in lockdown, save for Odorslat, which can't sustain itself very well and goes to war. Saldon and Skelmrelm begin a decades-long war over the general control of Odorslat, which is slowly starving to death. Skelmrelm decides to send all of its scientists to the Central Archipelago, and other countries follow suit. The Shrine of the Great Star Lobster becomes a giant lab, with everyone working according to their own time zone schedule so work is always being done. In 1897 a vaccine is created by a team of Skelmish, Altarian, and Sevdroleti scientists. By 1901, the vaccine is distributed worldwide and rebuilding begins. Until the Second End of the World comes. == The Second Apocalypse: 1906 == For a land inhabited by a religious group whose only claim to fame was that they started fires incessantly, there was only one Fire War. There were 12 - exactly twelve, and three were children - members of the Northern Order left. They lived a little North of the We Hate Fire Hospital, in tents, and obsessively lit up random patches of desert. Every year they got more and more mad at the financial support lent to the Southern Order and those who defected from the North, until they were all positively boiling with anger and in 1906 set fire to the capital of Gondolinius. Gondolinius assumed it was Marricopra - as they were prone to do, after the Seventy-Three-and-A-Half-Years War - and declared war on the very weakened kingdom. And then it happened. The fires, as it turned out, were ''still'' full of fireplague - somehow - and within a week both Gondolinius and Marricopra had a full-fledged outbreak on their hands. Gondolinius gave Marricopra a half-hearted apology and then returned to declare war on the Northern Order. But there were only 12 in the Order, and Gondolinius was still angry and so turned on itself and the Southern Order allies in Marricopra. So began the Fire Wars, with the Southern Order lighting anything aflame that stood in their path. At one point, they appeared to be gaining the upper hand, but then half of them came down with the newest Lacertiliitis-fireplague mutation. Though much of the world was vaccinated, the vaccine only worked on the 1895 strain, and those who had had Lizard Pox previously only had a 3-in-5 chance of recovery. From Marricopra the new strain spread to Altar, then to Ashmanschkra. From Gondolinius it went to Gusmoas, Santa Marino, and then to Seseco. Nowhere was safe anymore: the heat couldn't melt the diseased cells, and the cold couldn't kill them. The Fire Wars became an absolute farce, with no real end to them after the Gondolinian Emperor died of the plague. The Order was considered once and for all extinct, though it was rumored that members were still strewn worldwide, lighting fires in secret. Altar was so crippled by the plague and war effort that they consented to being owned by Ashmanschkra for a time. However, the Ashmanschkran government finally collapsed, for once and for all, ruined by internal fighting and the overabundance of Greeg lizards. Sevdrolet was finally overrun by the CoN, but then they all got sick. Sevdrolet had no official government after they all died of the plague, and the CoN retreated into itself, eventually being renamed the HPN. The Odorslatian governments survived; however, both were severely weakened and broke out into a few civil wars that all ended in painful deaths for all parties involved. Gusmoas continued to have no contact with the outside world, becoming increasingly more superstitious and oddly religious, founding the Church of the Party People in the Trees. The Basilica of the Treehouse was built on the ruins of the Palace of Tressene. The mountain people built a massive temple to their founders, which is actually quite beautiful - adorned with intricate carvings, reflecting pools, and floating candles, etc - that still stands today. They call it the First Wonder of the Modern World, and honestly, who can dispute that? Seseco had... problems (see: South Seseco). Oralotzo was almost completely wiped out, but a few thousand survived. They decided to work on re-fertilizing their soil, and only had contact with Skelmrelm. And the Kingdom of Marricopra, ruled by King Bantramus II, finally collapsed. With that ended the world's Second Age, and in 1920, Skelmrelm declared that the Second Apocalypse was over. So began the Third Age.

Please improve the article for this.'' They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya. Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == ''Main Article: [[Arachus Betznel]]'' They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate the Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and while Eddenarah had the upper hand at first, the Lobsterites gradually improved. When they unified under the name Children of Nephrops then they routed Eddenarah off of the islands. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == ''Main Article: [[Dark Ages]]'' Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish were the Children of Nephrops (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Children of Nephrops (CoN) just to say "HA!" The CoN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The CoN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the CoN's capital. The CoN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The CoN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The CoN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the CoN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the CoN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the CoN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the CoN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the CoN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. South Seseco is also a place of many inventions, the [[Traffic Signal]] (1872, [[Saint Vennes]], [[Deprivique]]), [[Printing Press]] (1450, [[Burges]], [[Grand Duchy of Burges]]) and [[Controlled Access Motorway]] (1913, [[Kvev]], [[Tornobyl]]) were all invented here. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chyeve]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. The two sides united in 1550 to form the Chkyeb Uniate. Expansion continued eastward. In 1620 a civil war began. ==== The Jenois War of 1620 ==== Jenois was an exclave of people who remained in the Mountain Culture. They called themselves Kruchtevs (a common term used to refer to them in a negative light was "Crookies") and their capital was [[Kauter]]. [[Jenois|Jenois City]], as we know it today was an orsk catholic outpost that spoke Letique. The Kruchtevs were under severe penal laws, below is a basic rundown: * Crookies may not buy land unless the land had been owned by another Crookie. * Crookies may not go to school. * Crookies could not practice religion. * Crookies may only speak Letique. * Crookies may not possess anything that could be used to defend themselves * A maximum of one shop could be opened by a Crookie in any one town. * Crookies could only shop at places owned by Crookies. * Crookies could not ride carriages or own horses. * So on, So forth The first "Crookie Uprising" was actually in 1590 but it failed miserably and half of [[Kauter]] was burned to the ground. In 1620, with help from the [[Tornobyl Arms Association]] they were able to start a revolution in Kauter. The surrounding area was quickly captured and the [[Kruchtev Union]] was declared. They were followed by Deprivique, a region also descriminated against because of their Vizantian Catholic faith. Together the two new nations took over everything east of the Chkyiv Mountains. At home, the Uniate was struggling to keep the peace as a new disease called "Crookpox" (named so because many believed it was a consequence of discriminating against the Kruchtevs) was running rampant throughout the country. The [[Kruchtev Union]], [[Deprivique Republic]] and [[Letoque State]] (Puppet of Deprivique) were given fully recognised independance. ==== Reunited ==== In 1720, Letoque joined Deprivique to create the [[Holy Vizantian Union]]. The [[Kruchtev Union]] united with the [[City State of Tornve]] to create the [[New Kruchtev State]]. In 1722 the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] reunited with the [[Verst Empire]] and in 1723 a war began. ==== War of Letoque (1723 - 1770) ==== On the 3rd September 1723 the 2nd Chkyeb Union declared war on the [[Holy Vizantian Union]] and the [[New Kruchtev State]]. At first, their attack was strong, they took over Tornve and many mountanious regions. But then winter hit. The counteroffensive was described by a verst survivor as "Fast and sharp". They mainly attacked at nigh tand in small numbers. The Verst army was pushed all the way back to Verst. By then Tornobyl joined the war and more reinforcements were coming from allied nations. The war went on like this for 47 years. Then they decided they would better just unite, lest lose anymore lives. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the east (1530): The wast was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Let's start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting each other. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. Deprivique natives originated from somewhere along the [[Vizantus Strait]]. They left their homeland of Dovranland due to a war with some neighboring power. We don't know how long ago this was, but best historians estimate that it was during the Post Flood era. [[File:0e5138d4-7ec9-4f38-9982-3b7a8d3af6d5.jpg|center|thumb|Mural in Petersport depicting the natives of Deprivique leaving their homeland circa 1198]]Deprivique was two kingdoms, the Grand Duchy of Hallem and the Kingdom of Leynes (now Petersport). They united in 748 to form the [[Deprivique Union]]. They were invaded by their neighbour, [[Letoque]] to the north ~912 during the [[Letoque Conquests]]. While they were independant not much notable happened. ===== Jenois ===== Today [[Jenois]] is a disputed canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] (Officially it is part of the canton [[Letoque Jenois]]) It does not have a very unique culture at all, they are basically just people from the Chkyiv Mountains who emmigrated west and met the Letoque people. Something that is notable about them is that they were hit incredibly hard during the Lacertiliitis. Almost three quarters of their population died, half of the remaining emmigrated. The city of Jenois was almost empty by 1900. They repopulated at very impressive rates, and today the region has a population of 1.4 Million. ===== Letoque ===== Letoque is and always was the dominant power in the West. The people of Letoque (Letiquain)'s origins are unknown but we think they came from the same place as the Tornoblites. The capital of Letoque is [[Saint Vennes]]. It is the second most populous canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] but has no city over one million in population. Over it's history Letoque has had a very unique take on land, similar to that of the Russian Empire. This encouraged people to spread out which is why they are significantly less dense than the other cantons. Letoque is home to Jenois, a disputed canton in it's east. Letoque lost land and was eventually destroyed in the [[Letoque Wars]] which lasted from 1610 - 1670 and main belligrents were the Verst Empire and Grand Duchy of Burges (GDB seceded from the Chkyeb Uniate in 1620). ==== Summary ==== South Seseco has had a history of civil wars, disease and violent wars, however it has also had times of prosperity. The "Seseco Golden Age" was the time from 1723 - 1803 both started and ended by war, but during which there was no fighting and instead inventions, discoveries and industrialisation. == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the CoN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The CoN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the [[Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame]] of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the [[The One and Only Everlasting Flame|Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame]], which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the CoN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == For those of you who are too lazy to read: basically the three powers of the Centrius Basin were at war off and on for 73 (and a quarter!) years. This was the last major war of this type, and ended with the CoN regaining control of the islands (for now...). In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the CoN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in late 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the CoN capital, while the CoN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). After half a year of this, all sides realized that this type of warfare was entirely unsustainable, and called a year-and-a-half ceasefire to build up their resources. In 1304 AY, Marricopra launched an assault on Centrius, and held and defended the island for ten years. The CoN was too busy rebuilding its capital for what was at least the third time, and so it was no difficulty for Marricopra to hold back the meager Ashmanschkri army, until 1314, when the CoN rejoined the battle, heading straight for the Marricopran capital. It was the worst destruction the area had seen since the Flood. Marricopra immediately moved backwards to defend their capital, and while the CoN-Marricopra conflict went on in what remained of the Valley of Pryoriya, Ashmanschkra took the islands. Marricopra eventually pushed back the CoN to the far East. The loss from this set of fighting sparked another ceasefire, this one lasting four and a half years. This truce was broken by the CoN, who made their first stab at Ashmanschkra. This time it was successful, and they officially owned the Ashmanschrki army (Sevdrolet refused to join this war. This created a rift in the country, but more on this later) for a time. However, the Army of Ashmanschkra the Inevitable refused to be owned by any other faction, and rebelled against the CoN generals, which put a slight dent in the CoN army, but mostly distracted them from the Marricopra 1326 invasion of Centrius. Marricopra owned the islands for another 5 years, in which the CoN ''and'' Ashmanschkra banded together (ironically) to shove them out, but the Marricopran army was so large they couldn't manage this until 1332, and then Ashmanschkra turned on the CoN, and they fought it out for a few years while Marricopra went back to rebuilding and making poisons from the lizards in the only national reserve, which was overhunted anyway. The longest ceasefire was from 1336-1343, after which Marricopra and the CoN simultaneously pulled support from the Order (both North and South). Ashmanschkra admitted defeat and decided to focus on its quickly worsening relations with the pacifist Sevdrolet. Once the Order got involved, almost everything within view was burned to the ground, Centrius became so inhabitable everyone wondered why they still fought over it, and King Vilassey of Marricopra died in battle, leaving no heirs but his niece, Nichra, who became the first Queen of Marricopra. She had little to no popular support, as she was a woman, but proved to be a brilliant strategist and brought Marricopra to an almost decisive victory at the Fourty-Fifth Battle of Great Nephrops Island, until the southern Order turned on them and Marricopra surrendered and shut its doors to the world. The CoN claimed Centrius, renamed it the Grand Lobster Islands, and the Order went home. In 1374, the Treaty of the Lobsterites was signed (grudgingly) by CoN general Parsley and Queen Nichra, who was at the very least lauded for her dignity in the face of such a crushing defeat. == The Fireplague Epidemic: 1406-1455 == The disease technically began spreading in 1402, but given the slowness of travel at the time, it didn't spread beyond the Great and True (Northern) Order until 1406. The One and Only Everlasting Flame apparently had microbes in them. Harmful ones. And after centuries of humans tending to the fire and its odd microbiome, they latched onto the Arch-Priests, and spread throughout the Mocze Desert's tent cities. It began with the Chief Arch-Priest, Bengellus, burning with a 106 degree fever. The next day, all four other Arch-Priests woke up with the same fever, and Bengellus broke out in hives said to burn "as if the Eternal Fire had itself showered its infernal sparks upon the skin." On the third day, Bengellus began vomiting blood. On the fourth, he died. The four remaining Arch-Priests all exhibited the same symptoms, but not within the same time frame. Hibriz died the day the boils appeared; Porops had a fever for a week and then got the boils and coughed blood (and died) all on the same day; Caprokcil only ever had boils, which lasted a week and a half and then he died with no warning; and Nezrel had a fever for two days, boils for a week and a half, and eventually recovered with only some light scarring. From Nezrel and the other four's caretakers, the disease spread across Mocze without warning and with no cure. Only a quarter of the Northern Order survives, and they start lighting fires in what is by then proto-Gondolinius, which spreads the disease through the southern Order like wildfire, and across the ocean to Marricopra via merchant ships. Marricopra gladly passes this on to the CoN and Ashmansckra via Altar (which has begun to rebel). All the guards on Great Nephrops Island die from the disease, but no one dares go replace them for fear of becoming infected themselves. Centrius goes unclaimed - it is during this time that Sevdrolet goes and unofficially names it the Central Archipelago, and the name sticks. The disease is sent north to Odorslat, but very few die as the cold climate cannot sustain the archaea-bacteria [''and yes, I'm basing the vaguely scientific nature of fireplague off of my 7th grade science class'']. What little of the disease can spread makes its way to Del Sacarmo/KoPWARToD, where it eventually dies out but destabilizes the colonial government enough for a complete overhaul, leaving the native [[Oralotzo|Oralians]] to kill the government and begin to rule themselves. After killing about a fifth of the Marricopran population (including the monarch, but they had a direct heir), more than half of Mocze, and a sixth of the rest of the world, the disease eventually dies down in 1455, as the population had naturally immunized itself, save for a few sparse outbreaks in remote areas. == The War of the Chicken Pie: 1507-1509 == ''Main Article: [[War of the Chicken Pie]]'' In 1507 AY, what remained of the KoPWARToD (a small scrap of land on Seseco; now Hakha Rakhine) held the First (and only) International Baking Competition, inviting famous bakers worldwide. Among them were Gondolinius's Oragor Mentaylis, who owned the World's Largest Bakery (and nobody dared fight him on that); Sevdrolet's Jimalangang Kobrob; and the KoPWARToD's Ercal Bogefayal, whose alliance was to the Rakhine rebellion brewing up north. Upon his winning the competition, the judges had no idea what country to award the top prize to, and so (as is, of course, usual) war was declared between the KoPWARToD and Hakha Rakhine. Marricopra threw themselves into the war, angry over the loss of Ashmanschkra and Centrius centuries before (and from getting last place in the competition), and led by Queen Ingelle "the Mad." They quickly drew out after the mysterious death of Ingelle and the ascension of King Billy Bob the Sixth, who gave the KoPWARToD several million dollars in reparations and an apology letter. What remained of the Northern Order finally wiped themselves out by throwing themselves and their disease-ridden bodies into the war. This ended with the Treaty of the Kitchen, the formation of Hakha Rakhine and the final dissolution of the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and the subsequent breakout of fireplague across Seseco. == The Second Fireplague Epidemic: 1509-1576 == The Seseco epidemic ended within a few months (see: the first fireplague epidemic and how that worked on Odorslat), but spread back south to Mocze via merchants from Santa Marino and then to Gondolinius, who sent diseased persons to Silencio and Marricopra out of spite (remember - they had their beginnings as religious fanatics). The two almost declared war in return, but then half of their armies fell ill and they decided otherwise. This epidemic went off and on for the next seventy years, with each breakout having epicenters in oddly diverse places, among them being the new Hakha Rakhine, the southernmost 2 blocks of a city in Odorslat, and Croissant Island. This epidemic ended with the Blizzard to End All Blizzards, which lasted exactly 3 days but was enough to kill the archaea-bacteria worldwide. The disease was confined to the We Hate Fire Quarantine Hospital, which was set up in the Mocze desert over the original site of the fire to ensure no one lighted it again. I would say there was peace from here on out, but there isn't, because this was when I remembered that tectonic plates were a thing. == The Split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet: 1599 and a couple years after that == The large, desert-y island of Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet, named after the two people groups that lived there, was situated on a fault line that became more precarious with each year after the Flood, until it finally broke apart during an earthquake and tsunami just south of the Central Archipelago, creating an event known as the Mini-Flood. The country officially became two (it had been threatening to become so for a while), with Ashmanschkra becoming the war peoples of the west, eagerly helping Altar break from Marricopra, though the Altarians themselves didn't care too much as Marricopra provided financial support. Sevdrolet was a nation of pacifists, and remained strictly neutral in all the Central Basin conflicts, though it formed close ties with the CoN. They became known for their art, and hated being invaded. However, seeing as they had no army, this happened over and over despite their declaring independence and creating more and more statues of famous Sevdroletis, which no one cared to take down as they actually looked quite good. The world began to be split over "do you support Ashmanschkra or Sevdrolet?" but as neither nation had the patience to fight the other, it all came to naught and everyone stopped caring, because the islands had moved into such a location to be perfect for beach vacations and millions flooded there. == The Economic Collapse of 1684 == After a little less than a century of relative-but-not-really peace, war in Skelmrelm completely demolished the economy of said country, bringing upon general economic collapse worldwide, as just about everyone depended on Skelmrelm for one reason or another. Does this name sound unfamiliar? Odorslat had, during this time, undergone yet another civil war that led to its renaming. The citizens were relieved that they were at least not called Knitted-Socks-ians. Skelmrelm during this time had moved past Marricopra in terms of GDP (and, in some areas, development) and become the new world epicenter, especially for the north. Gondolinius still considered Marricopra their main provider, however, and Silencio found the Kingdom easier to access. However, whatever petty disputes they had became unimportant in the face of total annihilation of all they'd worked for. However, with the discovery of oil deposits on Sevdrolet, the world economy slowly rebuilt as nations focused southward, and then back North after the Skelmrelm war ended. By 1690, the world economy had generally stabilized. == The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat == This is why the mountains have two main ranges. However, though the epicenter of this was in the mountains, aftershocks were so strong in the capital (on that bay just south of them) that it was completely demolished. This created a political split over who should rule where and how they should rebuild, and effectively ended the Republic of Odorslat as it was known. War broke out over the ruins of Odorslat-Priyoria, ending with the Treaty of What's Left of Priyoriya that split the country in four: Skelmrelm, the Republic of Saldon, the Kingdom of the Remnant, and the Spire Realm. The Kingdom of the Remnant was basically a puppet state of both Saldon and Skelmrelm, but at different times, seeing as it was located on the ruins of Priyoriya and only populated by a few thousand, mostly scholars and archaeologists there to study and preserve what was left of the city. Odorslat once again was no longer a world power, and Silencio began to compete with Marricopra for the title of highest GDP, until the 1794 Marricopran Revolution (see: [[The We're Sick of King Salamandario Revolution]]), after which the country turned inward to sort out its own problems. By 1799, the world was caught in a precarious balance between Skelmrelm and Silencio, as they had no access to Marricopra's resources (except for Sevdrolet, which the Kingdom just couldn't ignore). This resulted in a slight dip in the economy ~1800, but it eventually stabilized as Silencio began to compensate, and finally Marricopra (which had at last rid itself of Altar) reentered the world, about half the size it had been before. == Lacertiliitis: 1837-1850 == The disease began among the thousands of lizard species found at Great Lacertilia National Park. Still no one knows exactly which species spread it to humans, but the story goes like this: shopowner Tylline Tortatolus and his family visited the park in Firbicus 1837, and three weeks after returning, his wife died. Within the next two days, both of his children complained of pain in their mouth, throat, and stomach. Two days later, they died. Tylline lasted long enough to tell his neighbors of the strange occurrence, and then died in the home of musician Vollus Senddarry. The disease spread from the Senddarry household across the small town of Markpinne. The disease made it via caravan to the capital, and spread quickly through the population there. Then-Queen Nichra III soon realized what was happening and enforced a quarantine in the northeast part of the city, but not before boats carrying timber - the country's main resource - had reached Saldon, Gondolinius, and Oralotzo, spreading the disease there too. Soon testing was performed in the King Jimmy Central Hospital, and it was found that the disease turned one's saliva to hydrochloric acid. Scientists worldwide set to work creating a vaccine, but the most they could do was prevent death, though not entirely. Certain anomalies were found in the poorer parts of the city, where most of the population had already gone through a bout of Lizard Pox, a non-fatal disease spread by the Greeg lizard. Those who had already had the Pox were naturally immune to the disease - named Lacertiliitis after the park where it originated - and so many were hired on as doctors or even merely recipients of tests. They were paid by the government for their trouble, and often hired and paid ridiculous amounts of money to take over positions unstaffed because of the epidemic. Throughout the rest of the world scientists worked aggressively on creating a vaccine, or, in the case of Ashmanschkra, spreading Lizard Pox to as many citizens as possible. Because of this, most of the population had a natural immunity to Lacertiliitis by 1848. It is considered one of the most effective public health initiatives to date. Saldon and Skelmrelm teamed up to create a semi-effective vaccine, which forced out the virus by the second day, often leaving people on the brink of death but at least alive. They took to spreading numbing shots among their population, which at least prevented the pain caused from the acidic saliva. The vaccine was spread with the Kingdom of the Remnant, which consented to being absorbed into Skelmrelm, but the Spire Realm told themselves they could "handle this." They were all dead in three weeks. Gondolinius learned to work with the disease, and the hot climate created its first mutation, spread by melted cells. This resulted in a burning sensation throughout the body, which the Southern Order (now a strong theo-political presence in the area) promoted as a religious experience, not knowing how deadly the disease was. Lacertiliitis and the "Fire of the Heavens" mutation spread even more rapidly throughout Gondolinius and eventually to the abandoned We Hate Fire Hospital, which still had the remains of fireplague all over it. The Imperialist Party of Gondolinius set up an initiative to promote the quarantining of sick individuals. The Southern Order fought back against this relentlessly, creating a split in the general population over whether or not the "Fire of the Heavens" phenomena was a religious experience or a serious medical condition. Those who considered it religious were eventually put in a mental hospital during the Second Apocalypse, and the rest ran away to the desert. That aside, the disease died out in the urban parts of Gondolinius, but thrived in the rural areas around the Fireplague hospital, which created it's own problem, but more on that later... In the CoN, where the disease was spread from Marricopra via Sevdrolet and the oilfield workers there, the disease also mutated, creating something similar to the "Fire of the Heavens" bacteria, but instead causing only the skin to burn and dry out. This version wasn't completely fatal, even though Lizard Pox wasn't prevalent among the CoN. It was thought that the melting of the cells in the unceasing heat lessened the effects, but the disease was eradicated in 1845 due to a spike in heat and a drought, and so was never able to be studied. By 1850, the disease had calmed down worldwide (except for Gondolinius, but that's next). == Lacertiliitis-Fireplague Meltdown: 1895-1901 == The worst pandemic known to mankind. It began in what was renamed the Great Imperial Quarantine Hospital in central Gondolinius (the site has once again been abandoned, and is no longer owned by the country), where the archaea-bacteria known as fireplague had lain dormant on all the abandoned tools, beds, and especially in the indent in the floor that had once been the One and Only Everlasting Flame. As Lacertiliitis patients flooded in, using all the infected equipment and lying in the fireplague-infested beds, the two diseases began to combine, resulting in the first case of what was known, rather creatively, as "Lacertiliitis-fireplague." The first recorded patient was Appap Nipzap, a dockworker, of southern Gondolinius. He first reported a 106-degree fever - the universal signal of fireplague - and the next day his skin turned red, and he was said to claim it "burned worse than the Fire of the Heavens" (a disease he had, at first, survived). Three days after first reporting a fever, the red receded, turning into small boils that bled. After five days he appeared to be recovering, until he reported the signifying mouth-esophagus-stomach pain that came with Lacertiliitis. After a week, he finally coughed up blood and died. The new mutation spread throughout the hospital faster than even the Fire of the Heavens, apparently being more contagious than any previous strain (spread via touch), leaving only two survivors - very pregnant women - who had a strange natural immunity. Lacertiliitis-fireplague spread slowly south and then trickled through the poorer, non-immune southern Gondolinius population. Before the Gondolinian government could figure out what was happening, thousands of carriers, sick, and healthy alike had boarded boats to Gusmoas and Oralotzo, one of the world's least populated areas. This mass exodus became the downfall of Imperial Gondolinius, but not quite yet. The sick aboard the Gusmoas-bound boats all died on the way, and only four remained and made it to land. They set fire to the boats they came on and as they incorporated themselves into the Silencian population, millions more died. The several dozens remaining declared themselves Gods and fled into the mountains, only to be discovered nearly a century later by the Orsk Federation. Silencio collapsed, utterly and completely, and the land became inhabitable, overrun by plants, weeds, and rabid animals. On Del Sacarmo, which was still dry and dusty from the sandstorms that plagued them almost a thousand years ago, received the refugees with open arms, only to kill three-quarters of the population. Only those in the North survived, quarantining themselves. The Orsk Federation received the disease via shipments from Santa Marino, and only went into lockdown after half of the population had been killed. Sometime during this the disease makes its way to Marricopra, where it kills King Jimmy the Nineteenth (and last), sending the Kingdom into upheaval. By 1896 the whole world is in lockdown, save for Odorslat, which can't sustain itself very well and goes to war. Saldon and Skelmrelm begin a decades-long war over the general control of Odorslat, which is slowly starving to death. Skelmrelm decides to send all of its scientists to the Central Archipelago, and other countries follow suit. The Shrine of the Great Star Lobster becomes a giant lab, with everyone working according to their own time zone schedule so work is always being done. In 1897 a vaccine is created by a team of Skelmish, Altarian, and Sevdroleti scientists. By 1901, the vaccine is distributed worldwide and rebuilding begins. Until the Second End of the World comes. == The Second Apocalypse: 1906 == For a land inhabited by a religious group whose only claim to fame was that they started fires incessantly, there was only one Fire War. There were 12 - exactly twelve, and three were children - members of the Northern Order left. They lived a little North of the We Hate Fire Hospital, in tents, and obsessively lit up random patches of desert. Every year they got more and more mad at the financial support lent to the Southern Order and those who defected from the North, until they were all positively boiling with anger and in 1906 set fire to the capital of Gondolinius. Gondolinius assumed it was Marricopra - as they were prone to do, after the Seventy-Three-and-A-Half-Years War - and declared war on the very weakened kingdom. And then it happened. The fires, as it turned out, were ''still'' full of fireplague - somehow - and within a week both Gondolinius and Marricopra had a full-fledged outbreak on their hands. Gondolinius gave Marricopra a half-hearted apology and then returned to declare war on the Northern Order. But there were only 12 in the Order, and Gondolinius was still angry and so turned on itself and the Southern Order allies in Marricopra. So began the Fire Wars, with the Southern Order lighting anything aflame that stood in their path. At one point, they appeared to be gaining the upper hand, but then half of them came down with the newest Lacertiliitis-fireplague mutation. Though much of the world was vaccinated, the vaccine only worked on the 1895 strain, and those who had had Lizard Pox previously only had a 3-in-5 chance of recovery. From Marricopra the new strain spread to Altar, then to Ashmanschkra. From Gondolinius it went to Gusmoas, Santa Marino, and then to Seseco. Nowhere was safe anymore: the heat couldn't melt the diseased cells, and the cold couldn't kill them. The Fire Wars became an absolute farce, with no real end to them after the Gondolinian Emperor died of the plague. The Order was considered once and for all extinct, though it was rumored that members were still strewn worldwide, lighting fires in secret. Altar was so crippled by the plague and war effort that they consented to being owned by Ashmanschkra for a time. However, the Ashmanschkran government finally collapsed, for once and for all, ruined by internal fighting and the overabundance of Greeg lizards. Sevdrolet was finally overrun by the CoN, but then they all got sick. Sevdrolet had no official government after they all died of the plague, and the CoN retreated into itself, eventually being renamed the HPN. The Odorslatian governments survived; however, both were severely weakened and broke out into a few civil wars that all ended in painful deaths for all parties involved. Gusmoas continued to have no contact with the outside world, becoming increasingly more superstitious and oddly religious, founding the Church of the Party People in the Trees. The Basilica of the Treehouse was built on the ruins of the Palace of Tressene. The mountain people built a massive temple to their founders, which is actually quite beautiful - adorned with intricate carvings, reflecting pools, and floating candles, etc - that still stands today. They call it the First Wonder of the Modern World, and honestly, who can dispute that? Seseco had... problems (see: South Seseco). Oralotzo was almost completely wiped out, but a few thousand survived. They decided to work on re-fertilizing their soil, and only had contact with Skelmrelm. And the Kingdom of Marricopra, ruled by King Bantramus II, finally collapsed. With that ended the world's Second Age, and in 1920, Skelmrelm declared that the Second Apocalypse was over. So began the Third Age.

Priyoriya became a farming community, with hundreds of acres of crop squares in a large circle around their city, which they named "Eddennarah," meaning "the peace of home." Others called it "the place of pillars," which translated between many languages into what is now Odorslat.

The people of Hakha Rakhine were depressed and devastated due to their valuable stuff had been gone. 1700 AD: In 1700 AD, the Hakha Rakhine was formed and no one merely knew the country yet, They were known as enlightenment but had poor lifestyles due to homes being made out of dead trees and clay. During this time period, they had a leader known as [[Pyu Tun Paing]]. The Great Grandfather of the Paing family. He was known as the helper or the Communist Rat. He helped the people who had Nocks or gold left to become first-class citizens, but those who didn't have any Nocks or gold left were assigned a job to build the first city of Yangon. Some people protested against this but had no choice but to accept it. 1900 AD: Now that in the 1900 AD, Hakha Rakhine was known by the world. It was known as the communist state due to the lack of Nocks they had left. Their goal was to make more Nocks and Kyats possible create more armies and make a powerful communist country. The people of Hakha Rakhine did not like the government and wanted freedom of speech but were declined since there could be harm done to the very last class citizens. The First Class was called into a meeting by the president. The president asked how he could change plans to stop protesting and they said by voting. They would make the voting for the Communist party only and from Middle-Class citizens.

The people of Hakha Rakhine were depressed and devastated due to their valuable stuff had been gone. 1700 AD: In 1700 AD, the Hakha Rakhine was formed and no one merely knew the country yet, They were known as enlightenment but had poor lifestyles due to homes being made out of dead trees and clay. During this time period, they had a leader known as [[Pyu Tun Paing]]. The Great Grandfather of the Paing family. He was known as the helper or the Communist Rat. He helped the people who had Nocks or gold left to become first-class citizens, but those who didn't have any Nocks or gold left were assigned a job to build the first city of Yangon. Some people protested against this but had no choice but to accept it. 1900 AD: Now that in the 1900 AD, Hakha Rakhine was known by the world. It was known as the communist state due to the lack of Nocks they had left. Their goal was to make more Nocks and Kyats possible create more armies and make a powerful communist country. The people of Hakha Rakhine did not like the government and wanted freedom of speech but were declined since there could be harm done to the very last class citizens. The First Class was called into a meeting by the president. The president asked how he could change plans to stop protesting and they said by voting. They would make the voting for the Communist party only and from Middle-Class citizens. When voting, 1 class is allowed to vote, and that would only be the class, Once the first class is done voting for the president and one of the votes is higher the middle class goes next, and it will depend on two communist presidents.

In fact, most of today's counties are still identified by the tribes border's. Many lived in small city states, which were walled-in cities ruled by various kings and queens. ==== Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust (992-1509) ==== ''Main Article: [[Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust]]'' The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, often abbreviated "KoPWARToD", was the first city state to unify all of [[Del Sacarmo]]. The nation was forced into expansion by various dust storms in their home city, [[Tsoje]], thus their name. They captured the city of [[Bogeva]] and there learned the secret to seafaring boats, therefore giving them the ability to conquer the rest of Del Sacarmo. They then spread to [[Seseco]], had some wars, and established ties with the [[Children of Nephrops]] and the people of [[Odorslat]]. The nation later fell in 1406 due to instability and the [[fireplague]], becoming one of the world's first representative democratic nations. However, the colony on [[Seseco]] later survived until the [[War of the Chicken Pie]]. === Early Oralotzo (1408-1920) === Early Oralotzo had little problems, for three centuries. However, they did support [[Hakha Rakhine]] in their independence war against the Kingdom in Seseco. ==== Lacertiliitis Pandemic (1838-1850) ==== Between 1838 and 1850, Oralotzo was somewhat hard hit by the Lacertiliitis pandemic. This is how much of the Edenarrahan population reached the area. In 1850, the pandemic ended and much returned to normal. Oralotzo also started the National Health Burea after this pandemic. ==== Second Lacertiliitis Pandemic and the Return of Fireplague (1897-1901) ==== For much of the early fireplague-Lacertiliitis pandemic, Oralotzo was majorly unaffected, due to it being mainly concentrated in [[Gondolinius]]. When two boats of refugees reached Oralotzo, they were greeted with open arms- however, much of the population died. Despite striking hard Oralotzo, the north area was largely ignored by the pandemic and a new cult of the spirit Laci became very popular and the nation became somehow immunized, ending the pandemic in the area. The cult of Laci stayed in power, and its leader, who changed his name to Lacitzo, was elected president in 1900 and was re-elected twice over the next coupe of years, finally ending his long term in 1923, with his death. ==== Second Apocalypse (1906-1950) ==== Oralotzo was very hard hit by the second apocalypse, leaving only about a thousand left. These thousand discovered that the fireplague in the pandemic could be used to re-fertilize the soil, and thus set to work. This continued even after Lacitzo's death, until 1950, when then-president Yatzo Laciya decided that they didn't need to care about it anymore. === Modern Times === Ever since, Oralotzo has been pretty much ignoring all wars and has been extremely peaceful. In 1973, Oralotzo announced plans to support the [[Homaric Pact Nations]] in their [[HPN-Eddenarah War|war against Eddenarah]]. == Geography == Oralotzo takes up the entirety of [[Del Sacarmo]]. Meanwhile, their colony of [[New Ehtje]] takes up the western area of New Ehtje, bordering [[Fictian Empire|Fictia']]<nowiki/>s colony to the south-east. All of Ortalor's territory is grassy, though some of it is somewhat cold. == Economy == Oralotzo's main exports are wood and oil. Oralotzo also produces a lot of gravel, however they choose not to sell it with foreign countries. Past trade deals have been [[Oralian Import of Timber from Chechnyoslovenia|with Chechnyoslovenia]] and [[HPN-Oralian Military Supply Agreement|with the Homaric Pact Nations]]. The official currency of Oralotzo is the [[Coppalet]].

And he went on to his horse and he rode to all of the land, carrying the flag under which his People would unite. And they all understood him, for it was the Word of Someone who was destined to come. And all the people came and worked under A Greater Thing, and they came together. And soon they said, "Machrannah, unto thee we place our title of King." And it was the Word of Someone. And then, later, at the end of the story, BWHP 1-9: And later the flood came, and the People united and they were spared from the flood and they were given the [[Eddenarah|Best Land]].

Please improve the article for this.'' They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya. Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == ''Main Article: [[Arachus Betznel]]'' They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate the Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and while Eddenarah had the upper hand at first, the Lobsterites gradually improved. When they unified under the name Children of Nephrops then they routed Eddenarah off of the islands. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == ''Main Article: [[Dark Ages]]'' Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish were the Children of Nephrops (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Children of Nephrops (CoN) just to say "HA!" The CoN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The CoN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the CoN's capital. The CoN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The CoN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The CoN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the CoN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the CoN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the CoN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the CoN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the CoN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. South Seseco is also a place of many inventions, the [[Traffic Signal]] (1872, [[Saint Vennes]], [[Deprivique]]), [[Printing Press]] (1450, [[Burges]], [[Grand Duchy of Burges]]) and [[Controlled Access Motorway]] (1913, [[Kvev]], [[Tornobyl]]) were all invented here. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chyeve]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. The two sides united in 1550 to form the Chkyeb Uniate. Expansion continued eastward. In 1620 a civil war began. ==== The Jenois War of 1620 ==== Jenois was an exclave of people who remained in the Mountain Culture. They called themselves Kruchtevs (a common term used to refer to them in a negative light was "Crookies") and their capital was [[Kauter]]. [[Jenois|Jenois City]], as we know it today was an orsk catholic outpost that spoke Letique. The Kruchtevs were under severe penal laws, below is a basic rundown: * Crookies may not buy land unless the land had been owned by another Crookie. * Crookies may not go to school. * Crookies could not practice religion. * Crookies may only speak Letique. * Crookies may not possess anything that could be used to defend themselves * A maximum of one shop could be opened by a Crookie in any one town. * Crookies could only shop at places owned by Crookies. * Crookies could not ride carriages or own horses. * So on, So forth The first "Crookie Uprising" was actually in 1590 but it failed miserably and half of [[Kauter]] was burned to the ground. In 1620, with help from the [[Tornobyl Arms Association]] they were able to start a revolution in Kauter. The surrounding area was quickly captured and the [[Kruchtev Union]] was declared. They were followed by Deprivique, a region also descriminated against because of their Vizantian Catholic faith. Together the two new nations took over everything east of the Chkyiv Mountains. At home, the Uniate was struggling to keep the peace as a new disease called "Crookpox" (named so because many believed it was a consequence of discriminating against the Kruchtevs) was running rampant throughout the country. The [[Kruchtev Union]], [[Deprivique Republic]] and [[Letoque State]] (Puppet of Deprivique) were given fully recognised independance. ==== Reunited ==== In 1720, Letoque joined Deprivique to create the [[Holy Vizantian Union]]. The [[Kruchtev Union]] united with the [[City State of Tornve]] to create the [[New Kruchtev State]]. In 1722 the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] reunited with the [[Verst Empire]] and in 1723 a war began. ==== War of Letoque (1723 - 1770) ==== On the 3rd September 1723 the 2nd Chkyeb Union declared war on the [[Holy Vizantian Union]] and the [[New Kruchtev State]]. At first, their attack was strong, they took over Tornve and many mountanious regions. But then winter hit. The counteroffensive was described by a verst survivor as "Fast and sharp". They mainly attacked at nigh tand in small numbers. The Verst army was pushed all the way back to Verst. By then Tornobyl joined the war and more reinforcements were coming from allied nations. The war went on like this for 47 years. Then they decided they would better just unite, lest lose anymore lives. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the east (1530): The wast was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Let's start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting each other. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. Deprivique natives originated from somewhere along the [[Vizantus Strait]]. They left their homeland of Dovranland due to a war with some neighboring power. We don't know how long ago this was, but best historians estimate that it was during the Post Flood era. [[File:0e5138d4-7ec9-4f38-9982-3b7a8d3af6d5.jpg|center|thumb|Mural in Petersport depicting the natives of Deprivique leaving their homeland circa 1198]]Deprivique was two kingdoms, the Grand Duchy of Hallem and the Kingdom of Leynes (now Petersport). They united in 748 to form the [[Deprivique Union]]. They were invaded by their neighbour, [[Letoque]] to the north ~912 during the [[Letoque Conquests]]. While they were independant not much notable happened. ===== Jenois ===== Today [[Jenois]] is a disputed canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] (Officially it is part of the canton [[Letoque Jenois]]) It does not have a very unique culture at all, they are basically just people from the Chkyiv Mountains who emmigrated west and met the Letoque people. Something that is notable about them is that they were hit incredibly hard during the Lacertiliitis. Almost three quarters of their population died, half of the remaining emmigrated. The city of Jenois was almost empty by 1900. They repopulated at very impressive rates, and today the region has a population of 1.4 Million. ===== Letoque ===== Letoque is and always was the dominant power in the West. The people of Letoque (Letiquain)'s origins are unknown but we think they came from the same place as the Tornoblites. The capital of Letoque is [[Saint Vennes]]. It is the second most populous canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] but has no city over one million in population. Over it's history Letoque has had a very unique take on land, similar to that of the Russian Empire. This encouraged people to spread out which is why they are significantly less dense than the other cantons. Letoque is home to Jenois, a disputed canton in it's east. Letoque lost land and was eventually destroyed in the [[Letoque Wars]] which lasted from 1610 - 1670 and main belligrents were the Verst Empire and Grand Duchy of Burges (GDB seceded from the Chkyeb Uniate in 1620). ==== Summary ==== South Seseco has had a history of civil wars, disease and violent wars, however it has also had times of prosperity. The "Seseco Golden Age" was the time from 1723 - 1803 both started and ended by war, but during which there was no fighting and instead inventions, discoveries and industrialisation. == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the CoN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The CoN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the [[Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame]] of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the [[The One and Only Everlasting Flame|Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame]], which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the CoN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == For those of you who are too lazy to read: basically the three powers of the Centrius Basin were at war off and on for 73 (and a quarter!) years. This was the last major war of this type, and ended with the CoN regaining control of the islands (for now...). In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the CoN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in late 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the CoN capital, while the CoN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). After half a year of this, all sides realized that this type of warfare was entirely unsustainable, and called a year-and-a-half ceasefire to build up their resources. In 1304 AY, Marricopra launched an assault on Centrius, and held and defended the island for ten years. The CoN was too busy rebuilding its capital for what was at least the third time, and so it was no difficulty for Marricopra to hold back the meager Ashmanschkri army, until 1314, when the CoN rejoined the battle, heading straight for the Marricopran capital. It was the worst destruction the area had seen since the Flood. Marricopra immediately moved backwards to defend their capital, and while the CoN-Marricopra conflict went on in what remained of the Valley of Pryoriya, Ashmanschkra took the islands. Marricopra eventually pushed back the CoN to the far East. The loss from this set of fighting sparked another ceasefire, this one lasting four and a half years. This truce was broken by the CoN, who made their first stab at Ashmanschkra. This time it was successful, and they officially owned the Ashmanschrki army (Sevdrolet refused to join this war. This created a rift in the country, but more on this later) for a time. However, the Army of Ashmanschkra the Inevitable refused to be owned by any other faction, and rebelled against the CoN generals, which put a slight dent in the CoN army, but mostly distracted them from the Marricopra 1326 invasion of Centrius. Marricopra owned the islands for another 5 years, in which the CoN ''and'' Ashmanschkra banded together (ironically) to shove them out, but the Marricopran army was so large they couldn't manage this until 1332, and then Ashmanschkra turned on the CoN, and they fought it out for a few years while Marricopra went back to rebuilding and making poisons from the lizards in the only national reserve, which was overhunted anyway. The longest ceasefire was from 1336-1343, after which Marricopra and the CoN simultaneously pulled support from the Order (both North and South). Ashmanschkra admitted defeat and decided to focus on its quickly worsening relations with the pacifist Sevdrolet. Once the Order got involved, almost everything within view was burned to the ground, Centrius became so inhabitable everyone wondered why they still fought over it, and King Vilassey of Marricopra died in battle, leaving no heirs but his niece, Nichra, who became the first Queen of Marricopra. She had little to no popular support, as she was a woman, but proved to be a brilliant strategist and brought Marricopra to an almost decisive victory at the Fourty-Fifth Battle of Great Nephrops Island, until the southern Order turned on them and Marricopra surrendered and shut its doors to the world. The CoN claimed Centrius, renamed it the Grand Lobster Islands, and the Order went home. In 1374, the Treaty of the Lobsterites was signed (grudgingly) by CoN general Parsley and Queen Nichra, who was at the very least lauded for her dignity in the face of such a crushing defeat. == The Fireplague Epidemic: 1406-1455 == The disease technically began spreading in 1402, but given the slowness of travel at the time, it didn't spread beyond the Great and True (Northern) Order until 1406. The One and Only Everlasting Flame apparently had microbes in them. Harmful ones. And after centuries of humans tending to the fire and its odd microbiome, they latched onto the Arch-Priests, and spread throughout the Mocze Desert's tent cities. It began with the Chief Arch-Priest, Bengellus, burning with a 106 degree fever. The next day, all four other Arch-Priests woke up with the same fever, and Bengellus broke out in hives said to burn "as if the Eternal Fire had itself showered its infernal sparks upon the skin." On the third day, Bengellus began vomiting blood. On the fourth, he died. The four remaining Arch-Priests all exhibited the same symptoms, but not within the same time frame. Hibriz died the day the boils appeared; Porops had a fever for a week and then got the boils and coughed blood (and died) all on the same day; Caprokcil only ever had boils, which lasted a week and a half and then he died with no warning; and Nezrel had a fever for two days, boils for a week and a half, and eventually recovered with only some light scarring. From Nezrel and the other four's caretakers, the disease spread across Mocze without warning and with no cure. Only a quarter of the Northern Order survives, and they start lighting fires in what is by then proto-Gondolinius, which spreads the disease through the southern Order like wildfire, and across the ocean to Marricopra via merchant ships. Marricopra gladly passes this on to the CoN and Ashmansckra via Altar (which has begun to rebel). All the guards on Great Nephrops Island die from the disease, but no one dares go replace them for fear of becoming infected themselves. Centrius goes unclaimed - it is during this time that Sevdrolet goes and unofficially names it the Central Archipelago, and the name sticks. The disease is sent north to Odorslat, but very few die as the cold climate cannot sustain the archaea-bacteria [''and yes, I'm basing the vaguely scientific nature of fireplague off of my 7th grade science class'']. What little of the disease can spread makes its way to Del Sacarmo/KoPWARToD, where it eventually dies out but destabilizes the colonial government enough for a complete overhaul, leaving the native [[Oralotzo|Oralians]] to kill the government and begin to rule themselves. After killing about a fifth of the Marricopran population (including the monarch, but they had a direct heir), more than half of Mocze, and a sixth of the rest of the world, the disease eventually dies down in 1455, as the population had naturally immunized itself, save for a few sparse outbreaks in remote areas. == The War of the Chicken Pie: 1507-1509 == ''Main Article: [[War of the Chicken Pie]]'' In 1507 AY, what remained of the KoPWARToD (a small scrap of land on Seseco; now Hakha Rakhine) held the First (and only) International Baking Competition, inviting famous bakers worldwide. Among them were Gondolinius's Oragor Mentaylis, who owned the World's Largest Bakery (and nobody dared fight him on that); Sevdrolet's Jimalangang Kobrob; and the KoPWARToD's Ercal Bogefayal, whose alliance was to the Rakhine rebellion brewing up north. Upon his winning the competition, the judges had no idea what country to award the top prize to, and so (as is, of course, usual) war was declared between the KoPWARToD and Hakha Rakhine. Marricopra threw themselves into the war, angry over the loss of Ashmanschkra and Centrius centuries before (and from getting last place in the competition), and led by Queen Ingelle "the Mad." They quickly drew out after the mysterious death of Ingelle and the ascension of King Billy Bob the Sixth, who gave the KoPWARToD several million dollars in reparations and an apology letter. What remained of the Northern Order finally wiped themselves out by throwing themselves and their disease-ridden bodies into the war. This ended with the Treaty of the Kitchen, the formation of Hakha Rakhine and the final dissolution of the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and the subsequent breakout of fireplague across Seseco. == The Second Fireplague Epidemic: 1509-1576 == The Seseco epidemic ended within a few months (see: the first fireplague epidemic and how that worked on Odorslat), but spread back south to Mocze via merchants from Santa Marino and then to Gondolinius, who sent diseased persons to Silencio and Marricopra out of spite (remember - they had their beginnings as religious fanatics). The two almost declared war in return, but then half of their armies fell ill and they decided otherwise. This epidemic went off and on for the next seventy years, with each breakout having epicenters in oddly diverse places, among them being the new Hakha Rakhine, the southernmost 2 blocks of a city in Odorslat, and Croissant Island. This epidemic ended with the Blizzard to End All Blizzards, which lasted exactly 3 days but was enough to kill the archaea-bacteria worldwide. The disease was confined to the We Hate Fire Quarantine Hospital, which was set up in the Mocze desert over the original site of the fire to ensure no one lighted it again. I would say there was peace from here on out, but there isn't, because this was when I remembered that tectonic plates were a thing. == The Split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet: 1599 and a couple years after that == The large, desert-y island of Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet, named after the two people groups that lived there, was situated on a fault line that became more precarious with each year after the Flood, until it finally broke apart during an earthquake and tsunami just south of the Central Archipelago, creating an event known as the Mini-Flood. The country officially became two (it had been threatening to become so for a while), with Ashmanschkra becoming the war peoples of the west, eagerly helping Altar break from Marricopra, though the Altarians themselves didn't care too much as Marricopra provided financial support. Sevdrolet was a nation of pacifists, and remained strictly neutral in all the Central Basin conflicts, though it formed close ties with the CoN. They became known for their art, and hated being invaded. However, seeing as they had no army, this happened over and over despite their declaring independence and creating more and more statues of famous Sevdroletis, which no one cared to take down as they actually looked quite good. The world began to be split over "do you support Ashmanschkra or Sevdrolet?" but as neither nation had the patience to fight the other, it all came to naught and everyone stopped caring, because the islands had moved into such a location to be perfect for beach vacations and millions flooded there. == The Economic Collapse of 1684 == After a little less than a century of relative-but-not-really peace, war in Skelmrelm completely demolished the economy of said country, bringing upon general economic collapse worldwide, as just about everyone depended on Skelmrelm for one reason or another. Does this name sound unfamiliar? Odorslat had, during this time, undergone yet another civil war that led to its renaming. The citizens were relieved that they were at least not called Knitted-Socks-ians. Skelmrelm during this time had moved past Marricopra in terms of GDP (and, in some areas, development) and become the new world epicenter, especially for the north. Gondolinius still considered Marricopra their main provider, however, and Silencio found the Kingdom easier to access. However, whatever petty disputes they had became unimportant in the face of total annihilation of all they'd worked for. However, with the discovery of oil deposits on Sevdrolet, the world economy slowly rebuilt as nations focused southward, and then back North after the Skelmrelm war ended. By 1690, the world economy had generally stabilized. == The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat == This is why the mountains have two main ranges. However, though the epicenter of this was in the mountains, aftershocks were so strong in the capital (on that bay just south of them) that it was completely demolished. This created a political split over who should rule where and how they should rebuild, and effectively ended the Republic of Odorslat as it was known. War broke out over the ruins of Odorslat-Priyoria, ending with the Treaty of What's Left of Priyoriya that split the country in four: Skelmrelm, the Republic of Saldon, the Kingdom of the Remnant, and the [[Spire Realm]]. The Kingdom of the Remnant was basically a puppet state of both Saldon and Skelmrelm, but at different times, seeing as it was located on the ruins of Priyoriya and only populated by a few thousand, mostly scholars and archaeologists there to study and preserve what was left of the city. Odorslat once again was no longer a world power, and Silencio began to compete with Marricopra for the title of highest GDP, until the 1794 Marricopran Revolution (see: [[The We're Sick of King Salamandario Revolution]]), after which the country turned inward to sort out its own problems. By 1799, the world was caught in a precarious balance between Skelmrelm and Silencio, as they had no access to Marricopra's resources (except for Sevdrolet, which the Kingdom just couldn't ignore). This resulted in a slight dip in the economy ~1800, but it eventually stabilized as Silencio began to compensate, and finally Marricopra (which had at last rid itself of Altar) reentered the world, about half the size it had been before. == Lacertiliitis: 1837-1850 == The disease began among the thousands of lizard species found at Great Lacertilia National Park. Still no one knows exactly which species spread it to humans, but the story goes like this: shopowner Tylline Tortatolus and his family visited the park in Firbicus 1837, and three weeks after returning, his wife died. Within the next two days, both of his children complained of pain in their mouth, throat, and stomach. Two days later, they died. Tylline lasted long enough to tell his neighbors of the strange occurrence, and then died in the home of musician Vollus Senddarry. The disease spread from the Senddarry household across the small town of Markpinne. The disease made it via caravan to the capital, and spread quickly through the population there. Then-Queen Nichra III soon realized what was happening and enforced a quarantine in the northeast part of the city, but not before boats carrying timber - the country's main resource - had reached Saldon, Gondolinius, and Oralotzo, spreading the disease there too. Soon testing was performed in the King Jimmy Central Hospital, and it was found that the disease turned one's saliva to hydrochloric acid. Scientists worldwide set to work creating a vaccine, but the most they could do was prevent death, though not entirely. Certain anomalies were found in the poorer parts of the city, where most of the population had already gone through a bout of Lizard Pox, a non-fatal disease spread by the Greeg lizard. Those who had already had the Pox were naturally immune to the disease - named Lacertiliitis after the park where it originated - and so many were hired on as doctors or even merely recipients of tests. They were paid by the government for their trouble, and often hired and paid ridiculous amounts of money to take over positions unstaffed because of the epidemic. Throughout the rest of the world scientists worked aggressively on creating a vaccine, or, in the case of Ashmanschkra, spreading Lizard Pox to as many citizens as possible. Because of this, most of the population had a natural immunity to Lacertiliitis by 1848. It is considered one of the most effective public health initiatives to date. Saldon and Skelmrelm teamed up to create a semi-effective vaccine, which forced out the virus by the second day, often leaving people on the brink of death but at least alive. They took to spreading numbing shots among their population, which at least prevented the pain caused from the acidic saliva. The vaccine was spread with the Kingdom of the Remnant, which consented to being absorbed into Skelmrelm, but the Spire Realm told themselves they could "handle this." They were all dead in three weeks. Gondolinius learned to work with the disease, and the hot climate created its first mutation, spread by melted cells. This resulted in a burning sensation throughout the body, which the Southern Order (now a strong theo-political presence in the area) promoted as a religious experience, not knowing how deadly the disease was. Lacertiliitis and the "Fire of the Heavens" mutation spread even more rapidly throughout Gondolinius and eventually to the abandoned We Hate Fire Hospital, which still had the remains of fireplague all over it. The Imperialist Party of Gondolinius set up an initiative to promote the quarantining of sick individuals. The Southern Order fought back against this relentlessly, creating a split in the general population over whether or not the "Fire of the Heavens" phenomena was a religious experience or a serious medical condition. Those who considered it religious were eventually put in a mental hospital during the Second Apocalypse, and the rest ran away to the desert. That aside, the disease died out in the urban parts of Gondolinius, but thrived in the rural areas around the Fireplague hospital, which created it's own problem, but more on that later... In the CoN, where the disease was spread from Marricopra via Sevdrolet and the oilfield workers there, the disease also mutated, creating something similar to the "Fire of the Heavens" bacteria, but instead causing only the skin to burn and dry out. This version wasn't completely fatal, even though Lizard Pox wasn't prevalent among the CoN. It was thought that the melting of the cells in the unceasing heat lessened the effects, but the disease was eradicated in 1845 due to a spike in heat and a drought, and so was never able to be studied. By 1850, the disease had calmed down worldwide (except for Gondolinius, but that's next). == Lacertiliitis-Fireplague Meltdown: 1895-1901 == The worst pandemic known to mankind. It began in what was renamed the Great Imperial Quarantine Hospital in central Gondolinius (the site has once again been abandoned, and is no longer owned by the country), where the archaea-bacteria known as fireplague had lain dormant on all the abandoned tools, beds, and especially in the indent in the floor that had once been the One and Only Everlasting Flame. As Lacertiliitis patients flooded in, using all the infected equipment and lying in the fireplague-infested beds, the two diseases began to combine, resulting in the first case of what was known, rather creatively, as "Lacertiliitis-fireplague." The first recorded patient was Appap Nipzap, a dockworker, of southern Gondolinius. He first reported a 106-degree fever - the universal signal of fireplague - and the next day his skin turned red, and he was said to claim it "burned worse than the Fire of the Heavens" (a disease he had, at first, survived). Three days after first reporting a fever, the red receded, turning into small boils that bled. After five days he appeared to be recovering, until he reported the signifying mouth-esophagus-stomach pain that came with Lacertiliitis. After a week, he finally coughed up blood and died. The new mutation spread throughout the hospital faster than even the Fire of the Heavens, apparently being more contagious than any previous strain (spread via touch), leaving only two survivors - very pregnant women - who had a strange natural immunity. Lacertiliitis-fireplague spread slowly south and then trickled through the poorer, non-immune southern Gondolinius population. Before the Gondolinian government could figure out what was happening, thousands of carriers, sick, and healthy alike had boarded boats to Gusmoas and Oralotzo, one of the world's least populated areas. This mass exodus became the downfall of Imperial Gondolinius, but not quite yet. The sick aboard the Gusmoas-bound boats all died on the way, and only four remained and made it to land. They set fire to the boats they came on and as they incorporated themselves into the Silencian population, millions more died. The several dozens remaining declared themselves Gods and fled into the mountains, only to be discovered nearly a century later by the Orsk Federation. Silencio collapsed, utterly and completely, and the land became inhabitable, overrun by plants, weeds, and rabid animals. On Del Sacarmo, which was still dry and dusty from the sandstorms that plagued them almost a thousand years ago, received the refugees with open arms, only to kill three-quarters of the population. Only those in the North survived, quarantining themselves. The Orsk Federation received the disease via shipments from Santa Marino, and only went into lockdown after half of the population had been killed. Sometime during this the disease makes its way to Marricopra, where it kills King Jimmy the Nineteenth (and last), sending the Kingdom into upheaval. By 1896 the whole world is in lockdown, save for Odorslat, which can't sustain itself very well and goes to war. Saldon and Skelmrelm begin a decades-long war over the general control of Odorslat, which is slowly starving to death. Skelmrelm decides to send all of its scientists to the Central Archipelago, and other countries follow suit. The Shrine of the Great Star Lobster becomes a giant lab, with everyone working according to their own time zone schedule so work is always being done. In 1897 a vaccine is created by a team of Skelmish, Altarian, and Sevdroleti scientists. By 1901, the vaccine is distributed worldwide and rebuilding begins. Until the Second End of the World comes. == The Second Apocalypse: 1906 == For a land inhabited by a religious group whose only claim to fame was that they started fires incessantly, there was only one Fire War. There were 12 - exactly twelve, and three were children - members of the Northern Order left. They lived a little North of the We Hate Fire Hospital, in tents, and obsessively lit up random patches of desert. Every year they got more and more mad at the financial support lent to the Southern Order and those who defected from the North, until they were all positively boiling with anger and in 1906 set fire to the capital of Gondolinius. Gondolinius assumed it was Marricopra - as they were prone to do, after the Seventy-Three-and-A-Half-Years War - and declared war on the very weakened kingdom. And then it happened. The fires, as it turned out, were ''still'' full of fireplague - somehow - and within a week both Gondolinius and Marricopra had a full-fledged outbreak on their hands. Gondolinius gave Marricopra a half-hearted apology and then returned to declare war on the Northern Order. But there were only 12 in the Order, and Gondolinius was still angry and so turned on itself and the Southern Order allies in Marricopra. So began the Fire Wars, with the Southern Order lighting anything aflame that stood in their path. At one point, they appeared to be gaining the upper hand, but then half of them came down with the newest Lacertiliitis-fireplague mutation. Though much of the world was vaccinated, the vaccine only worked on the 1895 strain, and those who had had Lizard Pox previously only had a 3-in-5 chance of recovery. From Marricopra the new strain spread to Altar, then to Ashmanschkra. From Gondolinius it went to Gusmoas, Santa Marino, and then to Seseco. Nowhere was safe anymore: the heat couldn't melt the diseased cells, and the cold couldn't kill them. The Fire Wars became an absolute farce, with no real end to them after the Gondolinian Emperor died of the plague. The Order was considered once and for all extinct, though it was rumored that members were still strewn worldwide, lighting fires in secret. Altar was so crippled by the plague and war effort that they consented to being owned by Ashmanschkra for a time. However, the Ashmanschkran government finally collapsed, for once and for all, ruined by internal fighting and the overabundance of Greeg lizards. Sevdrolet was finally overrun by the CoN, but then they all got sick. Sevdrolet had no official government after they all died of the plague, and the CoN retreated into itself, eventually being renamed the HPN. The Odorslatian governments survived; however, both were severely weakened and broke out into a few civil wars that all ended in painful deaths for all parties involved. Gusmoas continued to have no contact with the outside world, becoming increasingly more superstitious and oddly religious, founding the Church of the Party People in the Trees. The Basilica of the Treehouse was built on the ruins of the Palace of Tressene. The mountain people built a massive temple to their founders, which is actually quite beautiful - adorned with intricate carvings, reflecting pools, and floating candles, etc - that still stands today. They call it the First Wonder of the Modern World, and honestly, who can dispute that? Seseco had... problems (see: South Seseco). Oralotzo was almost completely wiped out, but a few thousand survived. They decided to work on re-fertilizing their soil, and only had contact with Skelmrelm. And the Kingdom of Marricopra, ruled by King Bantramus II, finally collapsed. With that ended the world's Second Age, and in 1920, Skelmrelm declared that the Second Apocalypse was over. So began the Third Age.

Invited were many famous bakers worldwide, one from every nation. The main participants were [[Gondolinius]]'s Oragor Mentaylis, [[Sevdrolet]]'s Jimalangang Kobrob, and the Tired-of-Dustee Ercal Bogefayal. Upon Ercal's winning of the competition, the judges didn't know who to give the trophy to (because they figured if they awarded it to themselves everyone would start a war against them) declared a tie between Hakha Rakhine and the Kingdom. Thus, the war began. Queen Ingelle "the Mad", queen of Marricopra, joined into the war due to Marricopra's Dark Age and coming in last place during the competition. ===First Battles=== The first battles were fought in many places, though generally agreed to be the first battle was the [[Battle of Nay]], between Hakha Rakhine and the Kingdom. After Marricopra joining in, the victory went to Hakha Rakhine. More battles, such as the major [[Battle of Sinoland]], the first Tired-of-Dustee victory in the war. However, the Kingdom was still losing the war by the middle of the war in 1508. ===Death of Queen Ingelle=== The first of two major turning points in the war occurred in September of 1508, when Queen Ingelle disappeared mysteriously. She was later found in the Oralian battlefield, with symptoms of fireplague and a stab in her arm. It was unknown what she died of- fireplague, war, or both, but this meant that her cousin, King [[Billy Bob VI]], could take over the throne. Billy Bob understood that Queen Ingelle didn't need to have the war, and gave the Kingdom several million nocks, and continued to support them for the rest of the war. [[Tressene]] then held the "Yay, Our Ally's Insane Queen Is Dead So We Don't Have To Care About Her Anymore" Party, which ended fighting in the war for three days. ===Later Battles=== [[File:Occupation.png|thumb|A map of the area just before the Battle of West Sambia. Blue is the Kingdom's territories and the other colour is that of Hakha Rakhine and their allies.]] After this change of sides, the war started leaning in the Kingdom's favour. They managed to capture, at this point, all of the major cities in Hakha Rakhine except Khaikon, home of the Kachin and Chin. However, things began to turn around once again when Oralotzo, out of revenge against the Kingdom which they hated. At the time, the Kingdom and Marricopra were moving troops to invade West Sambia. However, Oralotzo came in and helped win the battle, then allowing Hakha Rakhine to continue pushing back the Kingdom. Finally, on March the First 1509, after a three-month-long seige on [[Yango]], the [[Treaty of Yango]] was signed, allowing the Kingdom to surrender and ending the war. Shortly thereafter, everyone was invited to Tressene's "Hakha Rakhine is a Nation Now and the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust Are Gone" party. == Aftermath == The war resulted in the creation of [[Hakha Rakhine]], which became very rich due to the luxuries imported by the Kingdom towards the second half of the war. The Kingdom was finally disolved, and everyone could finally say they actually ''liked'' dust (indeed, Hakha Rakhine was hit with a short sandstorm after that) and this was Marricopra's last war in [[Seseco]].

In fact, most of today's counties are still identified by the tribes border's. Many lived in small city states, which were walled-in cities ruled by various kings and queens. ==== Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust (992-1509) ==== ''Main Article: [[Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust]]'' The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, often abbreviated "KoPWARToD", was the first city state to unify all of [[Del Sacarmo]]. The nation was forced into expansion by various dust storms in their home city, [[Tsoje]], thus their name. They captured the city of [[Bogeva]] and there learned the secret to seafaring boats, therefore giving them the ability to conquer the rest of Del Sacarmo. They then spread to [[Seseco]], had some wars, and established ties with the [[Children of Nephrops]] and the people of [[Odorslat]]. The nation later fell in 1406 due to instability and the [[fireplague]], becoming one of the world's first representative democratic nations. However, the colony on [[Seseco]] later survived until the [[War of the Chicken Pie]]. === Early Oralotzo (1408-1920) === Early Oralotzo had little problems, for three centuries. However, they did support [[Hakha Rakhine]] in their independence war against the Kingdom in Seseco. ==== Lacertiliitis Pandemic (1838-1850) ==== Between 1838 and 1850, Oralotzo was somewhat hard hit by the Lacertiliitis pandemic. This is how much of the Edenarrahan population reached the area. In 1850, the pandemic ended and much returned to normal. Oralotzo also started the National Health Burea after this pandemic. ==== Second Lacertiliitis Pandemic and the Return of Fireplague (1897-1901) ==== For much of the early fireplague-Lacertiliitis pandemic, Oralotzo was majorly unaffected, due to it being mainly concentrated in [[Gondolinius]]. When two boats of refugees reached Oralotzo, they were greeted with open arms- however, much of the population died. Despite striking hard Oralotzo, the north area was largely ignored by the pandemic and a new cult of the spirit Laci became very popular and the nation became somehow immunized, ending the pandemic in the area. The cult of Laci stayed in power, and its leader, who changed his name to Lacitzo, was elected president in 1900 and was re-elected twice over the next coupe of years, finally ending his long term in 1923, with his death. ==== Second Apocalypse (1906-1950) ==== Oralotzo was very hard hit by the second apocalypse, leaving only about a thousand left. These thousand discovered that the fireplague in the pandemic could be used to re-fertilize the soil, and thus set to work. This continued even after Lacitzo's death, until 1950, when then-president Yatzo Laciya decided that they didn't need to care about it anymore. === Modern Times === Ever since, Oralotzo has been pretty much ignoring all wars and has been extremely peaceful. In 1973, Oralotzo announced plans to support the [[Homaric Pact Nations]] in their [[HPN-Eddenarah War|war against Eddenarah]]. == Geography == Oralotzo takes up the entirety of [[Del Sacarmo]]. Meanwhile, their colony of [[New Ehtje]] takes up the western area of New Ehtje, bordering [[Fictian Empire|Fictia']]<nowiki/>s colony to the south-east. All of Ortalor's territory is grassy, though some of it is somewhat cold. == Economy == Oralotzo's main exports are wood and oil. Oralotzo also produces a lot of gravel, however they choose not to sell it with foreign countries. Past trade deals have been [[Oralian Import of Timber from Chechnyoslovenia|with Chechnyoslovenia]] and [[HPN-Oralian Military Supply Agreement|with the Homaric Pact Nations]]. The official currency of Oralotzo is the [[Coppalet]].

A lot has been added, expanding the background of Skelmrelm. wikitext text/x-wiki Skelmrelm is a country residing primarily on the [[Odorslat]] continent, with it having more land all around the world. Skelmrelm and the Republic of [[Saldon]] are the only two countries inhabiting the continent. Skelmrelm is a [[Constitutional Monarchy]], and has a population of 47,222,418 people. It has 8 cities. == History == Skelmrelm was a product of [[The Flood]]. The path being cleared for nations to start their rise, Skelmrelm was one of the first to do so. They were a simple and kind people; simply wanting to settle down and come together to prevent future disasters from destroying them completely. And Skelmrelm was calm. For a long time. Of course, they got involved in wars that threatened their livelyhood, but they never got severely damaged. They had established cities in Odorslat, [[Mocze]], and [[Seseco]]. However, in Mocze, 1406, a problem arised. A scientist, trying to find the secret to immortality, discovered a disease. This disease, called [[Fireplague]], caused fever, boils, coughing blood, and death. The doctor tried making a cure, but got infected. The disease spread like wildfire; soon, the city of [[Vredestad]] was gone to the masses of infected dead bodies. The disease would spread all the way throughout Mocze, rendering it inhabitable. Other nations around the world managed to stop it from spreading to other continents, and the world was calm again. For 103 years. In 1509, the nation of [[Gondolinius]] wanted to clear Mocze of Fireplague. And so, they fashioned suits, meant to protect against Fireplague. These suits worked for the most part, however, there was a flaw in some of them. This lead to some people being infected, and going back to Gondolinus (and other nations) without noticing. Outbreaks in Gondolinius, Skelmrelm, and others, were popping up more often. The nations tried to stop these from spreading to their mainland, which, for the most part, they were successful. By this time, a cure was being researched. 5 years later, in 1581, it was finally created and used to render Mocze inhabitable again. And so, Fireplague was removed from the world... almost. Many years later, in 1683, the economy was great. Trade was bustling, and they were the main market for goods such as timber, food, and minerals. However, a terrorist attack done on the city of [[Liefde]] destroyed many trade centers. The terrorist attack led to thousands of homes being destroyed, and Liefde became a ghost town. This brought down the economy so much, in 1684, the economy collapsed. Many people lived in poverty. Since so many nations depended on Skelmrelm for so much, they too reached an economic low. This lasted for 4 years. After the economy slowly recovered, another grave disaster hit the nation. They had full control over the nation of Odorslat; it was where they originally came from, and it was where their capital was located. However, in 1775, a huge earthquake caused the republic to collapse, causing the nation to split into several others. One of the nations was [[Saldon]]. In 1837, a disease called [[Lacertiliitis]] had popped up. It caused its victims saliva to turn into hydrochloric acid, causing them a lot of pain, and death in 2 days. Skelmrelm had funded the research for the cure of Lacertiliitis, however, before the cure arrived, a new strand of it was discovered. It was a combination of Lacertiliitis and Fireplague, called the [[Lacertiliitis-Fireplague]] Virus. Every Skelmish scientist banded together with scientists from other nations to find a cure to it, and every nation went into lockdown. This caused another economic collapse in Skelmrelm. It lasted until the virus was cured, in 1900 AY. In 1971, due to a believed lack of civilian care, a rebellion happened in the Mocze colonies of Skelmrelm. A little while later, Skelmrelm fixed this and offered a treaty. This divided the rebels into two groups; Pro-Treaty, and Anti-Treaty. The Pro-Treaty side wanted to accept the treaty and stay a part of Skelmrelm, while Anti-Treaty wanted the opposite and wanted to be a soverign nation. This was the start of what is known as the [[Mocze Civil War]]. Although the Anti-Treaty side surrendered, it is yet to come to a conclusion. In 1975, Skelmrelm made a deal with Hakha Rakhine to give their land to Skelmrelm, as part of their plan to reunite the continent of Odorslat. They have also made an offer to Saldon for their land. This offer has yet to be accepted. == Cities == # [[Skelm]]. This is the capital city of Skelmrelm. Skelm means "sneaky" or "sly" in Afrikaans. # [[Veiligheid]].

It was a combination of Lacertiliitis and Fireplague, called the [[Lacertiliitis-Fireplague]] Virus.

It lasted until the virus was cured, in 1900 AY. In 1971, due to a believed lack of civilian care, a rebellion happened in the Mocze colonies of Skelmrelm. A little while later, Skelmrelm fixed this and offered a treaty. This divided the rebels into two groups; Pro-Treaty, and Anti-Treaty.

These suits worked for the most part, however, there was a flaw in some of them. This lead to some people being infected, and going back to Gondolinus (and other nations) without noticing. Outbreaks in Gondolinius, Skelmrelm, and others, were popping up more often. The nations tried to stop these from spreading to their mainland, which, for the most part, they were successful. By this time, a cure was being researched. 5 years later, in 1581, it was finally created and used to render Mocze inhabitable again. And so, Fireplague was removed from the world... almost. Many years later, in 1683, the economy was great. Trade was bustling, and they were the main market for goods such as timber, food, and minerals. However, a terrorist attack done on the city of [[Liefde]] destroyed many trade centers. The terrorist attack led to thousands of homes being destroyed, and Liefde became a ghost town. This brought down the economy so much, in 1684, the economy collapsed. Many people lived in poverty. Since so many nations depended on Skelmrelm for so much, they too reached an economic low. This lasted for 4 years. After the economy slowly recovered, another grave disaster hit the nation. They had full control over the nation of Odorslat; it was where they originally came from, and it was where their capital was located. However, in 1775, a huge earthquake caused the republic to collapse, causing the nation to split into several others. One of the nations was [[Saldon]]. In 1837, a disease called [[Lacertiliitis]] had popped up. It caused its victims saliva to turn into hydrochloric acid, causing them a lot of pain, and death in 2 days. Skelmrelm had funded the research for the cure of Lacertiliitis, however, before the cure arrived, a new strand of it was discovered. It was a combination of Lacertiliitis and Fireplague, called the [[Lacertiliitis-Fireplague]] Virus. Every Skelmish scientist banded together with scientists from other nations to find a cure to it, and every nation went into lockdown. This caused another economic collapse in Skelmrelm. It lasted until the virus was cured, in 1900 AY. In 1971, due to a believed lack of civilian care, a rebellion happened in the Mocze colonies of Skelmrelm. A little while later, Skelmrelm fixed this lack of civilian care and offered a treaty. This divided the rebels into two groups; Pro-Treaty, and Anti-Treaty. The Pro-Treaty side wanted to accept the treaty and stay a part of Skelmrelm, while Anti-Treaty wanted the opposite and wanted to be a soverign nation. This was the start of what is known as the [[Mocze Civil War]]. Although the Anti-Treaty side surrendered, it is yet to come to a conclusion. In 1975, Skelmrelm made a deal with Hakha Rakhine to give their land to Skelmrelm, as part of their plan to reunite the continent of Odorslat. They have also made an offer to Saldon for their land. This offer was accepted, and Skelmrelm successfully reunited the entirety of Odorslat. Skelmrelm has also teamed up with [[Oralotzo|Orlatozo]] for accelerating progress on space technology. In 1976, Skelmrelm founded the [[Great Universal Empire]], a union with its allies of the [[HPN]] and [[Fictia]]. == Cities == # [[Skelm]]. This is the capital city of Skelmrelm. Skelm means "sneaky" or "sly" in Afrikaans. # [[Veiligheid]]. This city is in the center of Skelmrelm, and is the place with the most Skelmish culture. # [[Militerestad]]. This city is on the coast. It contains the most military presence out of every city. # [[Kusstad]]. This city is on a peninsula. # [[Seestad]]. This city is also on a peninsula. # [[Randstad]]. This city is near the border. # [[Grensbeskermind]]. This city is near the border. # [[Grensstad]]. This city is near the border. == Military == Skelmish Military Service is optional, but has many benefits. To name a few, you get twice the nocks a high-end job gets you (and a scholarship if you're entering collage), great food, bragging rights, and a medal. There are 3 branches of the military. === Hoofbeskermers === These are the primary forces of Skelmrelm. They help defend the country against any external threats. This includes marine threats, naval attacks, nuclear force, invasion, etc. Other branches may come to assist this branch in times of desperation, such as the threat of total annihalation. They are referred to as Hoofs. === Spioenasiemagte === These are the secondary forces of Skelmrelm; they are in charge of infiltrating other countries, finding intelligence, and taking down enemy countries from the outside. They are also in charge of attacking a country; being on the offense, in other words. They are referred to as Spioenes. === Beskermvriend === These are the tertiary forces of Skelmrelm; rather than attacking on behalf of Skelmrelm, they attack to protect other countries (allies). They are stationed in various Skelmish bases around the world. They are referred to as Beskers. == Language == Skelmrelm speaks [[Skelmish]], a combination of Afrikaans, German, and a tiny bit of Spanish. It is 89% Afrikaans, 19% German, and 1% Spanish. Dit is Skelmish in aktion. Dit word soos Duits ausgesprochen. Some words change based on whether it's using a feminine or mascsuline tone. For example, talking about his hourglass would be "el Sanduhr", while talking about her hourglass would be "la uurglas". Pronounciation is German. == Agencies == * SPA (Skelmrelm Protection Agency) * SSAA (Skelmrelm Scientific Advancement Agency) * SIA (Skelmrelm Intelligence Agency) * SAD (Skelmish Air Defense) * BSS (Bureau of Skelmish Safety) * DPA (Disease Protection Agency) * SSDA (Skelmrelm Sea Defense Agency) * AACC (Agency of Allied Communication and Correspondence) * ECA (External Communication Agency) * SAS (Space Agency of Skelmrelm) == Famous Landmarks == * Institute of Mocze Research * Skelm Relm the First Burial Site * Abandoned Hospital [[Category:Countries]] 0e840dccb69ab2a4c6e4cbc8590348ea8db17e76 6 205 659 2023-10-19T23:17:28Z Qloak 10 name wikitext text/x-wiki == Summary == name 71fa3586e4787e53b86004efff3cf37ff157d28a 0 160 661 610 2023-10-19T23:36:49Z Qloak 10 wikitext text/x-wiki {| class="wikitable" ! colspan="2" |Belligerents |- |Pro-Treaty |[[Skelmrelm]] |- |Anti-Treaty |[[Orsk Federation]] (surrendered)<br>[[Mocze Republic]] |} The Mocze Civil War was a war that happened in 1971 (however, the war hasn't officially ended). == History == === Background === === 1971 - The Beginning of the War === After a year of little care for civilians in Skelmrelm, a group of people started a rebellion. The residents there believed that they were not being treated fairly. Electricity is completely unavailable, food wasn't being produced in great quantities and very little infrastructure was being built. Although Skelmrelm fixed these problems and offered them to stay as part of Skelmrelm, some people did not want to do this. This created a divide between the rebels; Pro-Treaty, and Anti-Treaty. The Pro-Treaty side wanted to accept the treaty and become a part of Skelmrelm again, while the Anti-Treaty side wanted to become a sovereign nation known as the Mocze Republic. Skelmrelm supported the Pro-Treaty side, while the Orsk Federation supported the Anti-Treaty side. And so, the war began. Please contribute more on this. === End of War === The Orsk Federation surrendered in 1972. After that, not much activity was heard from the [[Mocze Republic]].

Invited were many famous bakers worldwide, one from every nation. The main participants were [[Gondolinius]]'s Oragor Mentaylis, [[Sevdrolet]]'s Jimalangang Kobrob, and the Tired-of-Dustee Ercal Bogefayal. Upon Ercal's winning of the competition, the judges didn't know who to give the trophy to (because they figured if they awarded it to themselves everyone would start a war against them) declared a tie between Hakha Rakhine and the Kingdom. Thus, the war began. Queen Ingelle "the Mad", queen of Marricopra, joined into the war due to Marricopra's Dark Age and coming in last place during the competition. ===First Battles=== The first battles were fought in many places, though generally agreed to be the first battle was the [[Battle of Nay]], between Hakha Rakhine and the Kingdom. After Marricopra joining in, the victory went to Hakha Rakhine. More battles, such as the major [[Battle of Sinoland]], the first Tired-of-Dustee victory in the war. However, the Kingdom was still losing the war by the middle of the war in 1508. ===Death of Queen Ingelle=== The first of two major turning points in the war occurred in September of 1508, when Queen Ingelle disappeared mysteriously. She was later found in the Oralian battlefield, with symptoms of fireplague and a stab in her arm. It was unknown what she died of- fireplague, war, or both, but this meant that her cousin, King [[Billy Bob VI]], could take over the throne. Billy Bob understood that Queen Ingelle didn't need to have the war, and gave the Kingdom several million nocks, and continued to support them for the rest of the war. [[Tressene]] then held the "Yay, Our Ally's Insane Queen Is Dead So We Don't Have To Care About Her Anymore" Party, which ended fighting in the war for three days. ===Later Battles=== [[File:Occupation.png|thumb|A map of the area just before the Battle of West Sambia. Blue is the Kingdom's territories and the other colour is that of Hakha Rakhine and their allies.]] After this change of sides, the war started leaning in the Kingdom's favour. They managed to capture, at this point, all of the major cities in Hakha Rakhine except Khaikon, home of the Kachin and Chin. However, things began to turn around once again when Oralotzo, out of revenge against the Kingdom which they hated. At the time, the Kingdom and Marricopra were moving troops to invade West Sambia. However, Oralotzo came in and helped win the battle, then allowing Hakha Rakhine to continue pushing back the Kingdom. Finally, on March the First 1509, after a three-month-long seige on [[Yango]], the [[Treaty of Yango]] was signed, allowing the Kingdom to surrender and ending the war. Shortly thereafter, everyone was invited to Tressene's "Hakha Rakhine is a Nation Now and the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust Are Gone" party. == Aftermath == The war resulted in the creation of [[Hakha Rakhine]], which became very rich due to the luxuries imported by the Kingdom towards the second half of the war. The Kingdom was finally disolved, and everyone could finally say they actually ''liked'' dust (indeed, Hakha Rakhine was hit with a short sandstorm after that) and this was Marricopra's last war in [[Seseco]].

They colonized the peninsula. === Colonization === It was colonized by Oralotzo and, soon after, the [[Fictian Empire]]. The nation of [[Wyrde Rīċe]] also exists as a mysterious theocracy here, and is native (though Fictia's administration is carried out on this continent too). == Geography == While as of writing only the peninsula and some of the land is discovered, there is believed to be a bigger continent to the east of that. The whole continent is very flat and grassy. Their is an area rich in oil, which is controlled by Oralotzo. The southern coast is controlled by Fictia.

They were known for their amazing knack for avoiding conflicts by sending large signs that say "NO" to their enemies. == History == === Early History === The nation came about in 992 by the unification of the native tribes of Oralotzo. While the first dynasty was ruled by the Oralians, it went under foreign rule from various nations, such as Skelmrelm, Saldon, and the Orsk Federation. === Golden Era (993-1208) === In 993 they colonized some oversea area near the [[Verst Empire]]. Later, in 1206, the Kingdom took pity on the suffering [[Children of Nephrops]]. Despite them being outnumbered, they managed to push their enemies away. In 1208, [[World History#1206 AY: The CoN Starts World War Three|World War Three]] ended in stalemate, though the Kingdom was largely unaffected by treaties of any kind. === Silver Era (1208-1406) === In this time, nations in [[Odorslat]] began an alliance with the Kingdom. This alliance still lasts today, while mainly only cultural. === Downfall (1406-1408) === In 1406, the nation was somewhat weakened by the [[fireplague]] pandemic. This destabilised the government so much, that later, it was overthrown by those tribes and became modern day [[Oralotzo]]. === Colonial Surviving and the War of the Chicken Pie (1408-1509) === ''Main article: [[War of the Chicken Pie]]'' Despite the downfall of the mainland nation, a small colonial surviving in [[Seseco]] on what is now [[Hakha Rakhine]] survived for over a century before the nation's final downfall. Around 1500, a rebellion started in the northern area of the nation, and while the Kingdom war hard-hit, they later allied with the rebellion. In 1507, the nation hosted the International Baking Competition. The competition ended confusingly, somehow culminating in a war between Hakha Rakhine and the Kingdom. The war was further complicated by [[Marricopra]], led by [[Ingelle|Queen Ingelle the Mad]], joining the fight due to their anger about the loss of their colonial holdings at the hands of the kingdom centuries before. Marricopra drew out after Queen Ingelle's death, and the Kingdom was gifted several million [[nock]]<nowiki/>s by her successor, [[Billy Bob VI|King Billy Bob the Sixth]]. After one more year of fighting, the Kingdom fell to Hakha Rakhine, finally marking its end. == Legacy == ''Main article: [[Oralotzo]]'' In 1972, Oralotzo was officially renamed the New Ortalian Republic of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust in its honour. Also, in many nations around the world, "to be tired of dust" is an idiom that means to be cut straight to the point. 4faf4c43601a45fcb34b153305a24e71974ee362 0 211 688 2023-10-23T21:37:00Z Asisi Games Co2 14 Created page with "Billy Bob VI was a king of [[Marricopra]] from 1508 to 1550.

He lived in [[Machrannah Square]] palace. == Adult Life == As an adult, he was established Head of the Bureau of Pig-Counting and Other Intentionally Boring Things by Ingelle, during the prime of her reign. He was mad at Ingelle because of this, however this wasn't enough to want to make him take drastic action. == Reign == In 1508, news reached Eddenarah that Ingelle was dead on the battlefield in the middle of the [[War of the Chicken Pie]]. Panic spread across Eddenarah. This was soon calmed by Billy Bob declaring himself the new king. To ease worries about the war, he decided to move Marricopra to the [[Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust|Kingdom's]] side of the war, pay them several hundred thousand nocks. However, Billy Bob wasn't exactly concerned with the war, and he wasn't that made when he lost (no one was, actually). He spent a long and eventful reign on the throne until his death in 1550. == Legacy == Billy Bob is still known today for doing the right thing, at least in the eyes of the Eddenaran public, during the War of the Chicken Pie. He is also known for finally abolishing the BoPCaOIBT, though later rulers found it annoying that they could no longer banish officials and other people they disliked with a seemingly important title.

It's a refugee empire made of various groups who fled from [[Seseco]] during the Second Apocalypse to a place so cold and abandoned, they figured they'd be safe. Since things stabilized in 1920, this section of the ice cap was largely composed of various warring microstates until the arrival of the mysterious Time Traveler in 1973, who united the groups and turned them into Fictia. It is one of the founding states of the [[Great Universal Empire]] == Etymology == The Fictian Empire is derived from the name "Fictia", which is of completely unknown origin. The Time Traveler's suggestions (see history) are the reason the name became adopted for the new country. There is a possibility it is derived from [[Spire Realm|the Old Spirian]] word *pikshi "fake, false, mythical" though it is most likely not true. == History == === Origins === ==== Settlement ==== Most of the territory of the modern Fictian Empire has, for almost all of history, been an unpopulated ice shelf. This only began to change in the early 1900s, when the [[World History#The Second Apocalypse: 1906|Second Apocalypse]] caused chaos worldwide, including a collapse in many nations located on the continent of Seseco People fearing the destruction or with no place to go bought (or stole) boats and emigrated in droves, heading to the northern ice cap which the refugees figured was open land nearby, yet too insignificant for other nations to invade (or the infamous [[fireplague-lacitiis]] plague). This group struggled greatly to build shelters or obtain food on the tundra, and so only about 33% of the migrants are thought to have survived (or not fled) to settle. ==== War ==== In the 1920s, the settlers of the Septrontiland ice shelf had begun to unite with each other into numerous tiny nations best comparable to chiefdoms (largely due to the fact refugees from every nation on Seseco, and some from elsewhere, inhabited the area). For the next 50 years, there was continuous warfare between these unimportant chiefdoms which were ignored by literally the entire rest of the world. Some would be listed here, but the majority were failed raids and the complete history is so boring you'd likely fall asleep reading the first paragraph. === Foundation === This changed in 1973, when a mysterious figure in an extremely expensive and fancy coat appeared from nowhere and traveled between the weak chiefdoms. He visited each and every one and spoke at town meetings where he advocated for a new way of life. "Being so weak and divided is ungroovy!", he often said. "If this ice shelf unites under one country, it will be mighty and nothing can be groovier!" His arguments began to win over the chiefdoms, who agreed to cease fighting and unite under a state the mysterious time traveler (as everyone presumed from the decade-old slang) would set up. He had some extremely strange ideas: for maximum "grooviness", the nation would have to adopt a mysterious, otherworldly flag and the name of "Fictia" which was completely unheard of in the ice shelf. He insisted the identity would make the ice shelf the founder of a great and even universal empire. The new country took form as an absolute monarchy under a complex bureaucracy that incorporated many of the formal petty chiefdom rulers. The ruler, according to the Time Traveler, had to be named "George" according to some ancient universal law, so a random baker with that name was declared the 1st Fictian Emperor. But after all of this had occurred, the Time Traveler made a comment to himself about having made "a mistake in the wrong dimension" and disappeared without a trace. The Fictians didn't care about his vanishing though, and the new empire is determined to become powerful and fulfill the promises given to them. To secure some non-polar land, a small force was sent by ship to secure land in the newly-discovered [[New Ehtje]] (now Wyrdeland) region to the East, and there began building the imperial capital of [[Very Lengthy And Undescriptive-Named City]]. An Exarch elected by the residents of the Septrontiland ice shelf and approved by the Emperor in that region, making such distant rule a possibility. Things are looking bright for the new Empire, which is now seeking allies and vowing to "never give up, let down, run around, or desert" it's allies (lyrics from a song the Time Traveler insisted as national anthem). === Early History === Since Fictia had previously been made of pathetically weak chiefdoms, it had no military or infrastructure at its beginnings. It struggled along in this state for 2 years, but still decided to use its "power" to influence the [[Next Jimmy Uprising]] since [[Marricopra]] offered a trade alliance-advocating for a middle-of-the-road position incorporating the old aristocracy into a republic. Why the republic decided to ask a powerless absolute monarchy for assistance in staying a democracy is beyond the writer. Fictia also sent expeditions east in [[Wyrdeland]] that expanded the empire in its weak phase. Fictia also allied with [[Skelmrelm]] and the [[HPN]] at this point, and began to get its act together with infrastructure construction in 1975. In 1976, an agreement was reached between Fictia, the HPN, and Skelmrelm to create the [[Great Universal Empire]]-an idea that is thought to have been inspired by the same mysterious prophet who founded Fictia to begin with. Fictia legally became "The State of Fictia" with this change, but continued to go by the "Fictian Empire" internally-meaning there was technically an empire inside an empire. == Government == === Basics: === Fictia is an absolute monarchy, with [[Emperor George VII|George VII]] as the current emperor. The monarch can do anything he wants as long as it doesn't contradict existing law (this will likely become a problem...), and has direct control over the capital (which has a name is long to write another time) and the surrounding province of Tutus. Supporting his rule is a complex bureaucracy composing of yearly-elected local officials (for villages, towns, and city departments), imperial-appointed governors over each province (selected by the merit of local officials-or at first warring chiefs), and finally a group of ministers in charge of the imperial bureaus who are also chosen by merit. In distant territories, the emperor is expected to appoint an Exarch who serves as a civil and military governor of the territory, with effectively unlimited power unless the emperor or law contradicts him. Exarchs are to be selected by the population of the territory in an election and then approved by the emperor (who has complete veto power), but have no fixed term lengths until they die or resign. This makes it possible for foreign territories to have self-rule and respond to invasions themselves, and helps to keep down unrest/rebellions in the Empire. The original glacier territories on Septrontiland, divided into the provinces of Frigida and Calidum, are currently organized as the [[Exarchate of Septrontiland]] under the rule of [[Robert Magnus]], also originally a warring chief and the most successful of them. === Bureaus === Fictia's government is headed by the monarchy as described above. The monarch also has 7 bureaus established to take some governmental roles; they hold all powers the bureaus do but each can also make its own choices and is headed by a monarch-appointed head: * Bureau of People Who Love To Go Overseas And Talk With Foreign Leaders: Foreign Relations * Bureau of People Who Ensure That Every Fictian is Satisfied With Their Life: Infrastructure & Quality of Life * Bureau of People Who Do Research Behind-The-Scenes and Know All About World Affairs: [REDACTED] (but you can probably guess it's an intelligence agency) * Bureau of People Who Advance Technology and Improve the World for the Better: Technological & Business Management * Bureau of People Who Keep Fictia Safe From Any and All Foreign Threats: Military * Bureau of Funding: Exactly what it says because nobody likes taxes. * Bureau of People Who Are Bored and Just Need a Government Job For No Reason: Absolutely nothing. [[File:Septrontiland Map.png|thumb|Map of the Exarchate of Septrontiland and provinces, cities, and resources.]] [[File:Fictia-Wyrdeland Map.png|thumb|Map of Fictia at Wyrdeland, including provinces, cities, and resources.]] === Provinces === '''Core Fictia:''' * Google Translatia (capital) * South Weird Rice (a misunderstanding of Wyrde Rice) * Non Finis * Borogrivistan * Domum '''Exarchate of Septrontiland:''' * Aspera (regional seat) * Inanus * Frigida * Apicem Terrae == Religion & Culture == Fictia has a strange culture. Most of the nation is influenced by [[Christianity]], which despite being a religion founded on a foreign and unknown planet is believed by half of Fictians due to knowledge that the universe is vast and likely has many more living worlds-perhaps there's even another Fictia (or 2) out there somewhere that could explain why the first Emperor George was "George VII"... The national flag is even inspired by a semi-mythological empire from this unknown world called the "Roman Empire" which was supposedly one of the first Christian states out there. A notable impact of Christian influence on the empire was [[Nicholas Claus]], an eccentric man who claims to deliver presents to the entire world every Christmas as a way to brighten the holiday. There's also a large minority that believes in [[Coming of the Great Star Lobsterism]], which was caused by missionaries from the HPN who came to Fictia early in its history. Despite also coming from a strange and unknown world, Great Star Lobsterism isn't taken very seriously by most Fictians and largely exists due to its wacky festivals and ties to the Homaric Pact. Outside of religious influences, Fictia is very much influenced by its polar past-more so than the time spent by the empire's forefathers in various nations of Seseco. Especially in Septrontiland, Fictians are famous for their expertise at ice sculpturing (the governor's palace in [[North Pole]] is, in fact, a glorified igloo) and the nation's greatest delicacy is hot chocolate. Over in Wyrdeland however, where conditions are more tropical, Fictia borrows from Skelmish culture in large part as an adaption to the area-there were attempts to build the national capital out of ice but they ended in the city losing all of its buildings and flooding repeatedly which nobody enjoyed. There's also some influence left over from the Time Traveler in both portions of the Empire-the most common joyful exclamation in Fictia is "groovy!" == Foreign Relations == Fictia had a trade alliance with [[United Eddenarah]]. They also are allied with [[Skelmrelm]] and [[HPN]], which led up to the GUE's formation.

The monarch also has 7 bureaus established to take some governmental roles; they hold all powers the bureaus do but each can also make its own choices and is headed by a monarch-appointed head: * Bureau of People Who Love To Go Overseas And Talk With Foreign Leaders: Foreign Relations * Bureau of People Who Ensure That Every Fictian is Satisfied With Their Life: Infrastructure & Quality of Life * Bureau of People Who Do Research Behind-The-Scenes and Know All About World Affairs: [REDACTED] (but you can probably guess it's an intelligence agency) * Bureau of People Who Advance Technology and Improve the World for the Better: Technological & Business Management * Bureau of People Who Keep Fictia Safe From Any and All Foreign Threats: Military * Bureau of Funding: Exactly what it says because nobody likes taxes. * Bureau of People Who Are Bored and Just Need a Government Job For No Reason: Absolutely nothing. [[File:Septrontiland Map.png|thumb|Map of the Exarchate of Septrontiland and provinces, cities, and resources.]] [[File:Fictia-Wyrdeland Map.png|thumb|Map of Fictia at Wyrdeland, including provinces, cities, and resources.]] === Provinces === '''Core Fictia:''' * Google Translatia (capital) * South Weird Rice (a misunderstanding of Wyrde Rice) * Non Finis * Borogrivistan * Domum '''Exarchate of Septrontiland:''' * Aspera (regional seat) * Inanus * Frigida * Apicem Terrae == Religion & Culture == Fictia has a strange culture. Most of the nation is influenced by [[Christianity]], which despite being a religion founded on a foreign and unknown planet is believed by half of Fictians due to knowledge that the universe is vast and likely has many more living worlds-perhaps there's even another Fictia (or 2) out there somewhere that could explain why the first Emperor George was "George VII"... The national flag is even inspired by a semi-mythological empire from this unknown world called the "Roman Empire" which was supposedly one of the first Christian states out there. A notable impact of Christian influence on the empire was [[Nicholas Claus]], an eccentric man who claims to deliver presents to the entire world every Christmas as a way to brighten the holiday. There's also a large minority that believes in [[Coming of the Great Star Lobsterism]], which was caused by missionaries from the HPN who came to Fictia early in its history. Despite also coming from a strange and unknown world, Great Star Lobsterism isn't taken very seriously by most Fictians and largely exists due to its wacky festivals and ties to the Homaric Pact. Outside of religious influences, Fictia is very much influenced by its polar past-more so than the time spent by the empire's forefathers in various nations of Seseco. Especially in Septrontiland, Fictians are famous for their expertise at ice sculpturing (the governor's palace in [[North Pole]] is, in fact, a glorified igloo) and the nation's greatest delicacy is hot chocolate. Over in Wyrdeland however, where conditions are more tropical, Fictia borrows from Skelmish culture in large part as an adaption to the area-there were attempts to build the national capital out of ice but they ended in the city losing all of its buildings and flooding repeatedly which nobody enjoyed. There's also some influence left over from the Time Traveler in both portions of the Empire-the most common joyful exclamation in Fictia is "groovy!" == Economics == Fictia is extremely rich in oil and metal. However, the Empire lacks fish and many other important materials like gravel, which currently makes trading a necessity. The currency of Fictia is the [[nock]] for simplicity. == Foreign Relations == Fictia had a trade alliance with [[United Eddenarah]]. They also are allied with [[Skelmrelm]] and [[HPN]], which led up to the GUE's formation.

It caused the [[World History#Lacertiliitis: 1837-1850|Lacertiliitis Plague]], and later merged with [[fireplague]] to become [[Lacertiliitis-Fireplague|lacertiliitis-fireplague]] and sent the world on two more pandemics. == Behaviour == Lacertiliitis is seemingly related to [[Lizard Pox]], a rather harmless disease that caused a small pandemic in [[United Eddenarah|Eddenarah]] just before the Lacertiliitis pandemic began. Lacertiliitis is an airborne disease, like all great pandemics, and has symptoms also attributed to other pandemics. These symptoms are normally mouth pains, sore throats, and stomach-aches, which can be fatal in less than two days. == History == === Emergence and First Pandemic === The disease began among the thousands of lizard species found at Great Lacertilia National Park in 1837. Still no one knows exactly which species spread it to humans, but the story goes like this: shopowner Tylline Tortatolus and his family visited the park in Firbicus 1837, and three weeks after returning, his wife died. Within the next two days, both of his children complained of pain in their mouth, throat, and stomach. Two days later, they died. Tylline lasted long enough to tell his neighbors of the strange occurrence, and then died in the home of musician Vollus Senddarry. The disease spread from the Senddarry household across the small town of Markpinne. The disease made it via caravan to the capital, and spread quickly through the population there. Then-Queen Nichra III soon realized what was happening and enforced a quarantine in the northeast part of the city, but not before boats carrying timber - the country's main resource - had reached Saldon, Gondolinius, and Oralotzo, spreading the disease there too. Soon testing was performed in the King Jimmy Central Hospital, and it was found that the disease turned one's saliva to hydrochloric acid. Scientists worldwide set to work creating a vaccine, but the most they could do was prevent death, though not entirely. Certain anomalies were found in the poorer parts of the city, where most of the population had already gone through a bout of Lizard Pox, a non-fatal disease spread by the Greeg lizard. Those who had already had the Pox were naturally immune to the disease - named Lacertiliitis after the park where it originated - and so many were hired on as doctors or even merely recipients of tests. They were paid by the government for their trouble, and often hired and paid ridiculous amounts of money to take over positions unstaffed because of the epidemic. Throughout the rest of the world scientists worked aggressively on creating a vaccine, or, in the case of Ashmanschkra, spreading Lizard Pox to as many citizens as possible. Because of this, most of the population had a natural immunity to Lacertiliitis by 1848. It is considered one of the most effective public health initiatives to date. Saldon and Skelmrelm teamed up to create a semi-effective vaccine, which forced out the virus by the second day, often leaving people on the brink of death but at least alive. They took to spreading numbing shots among their population, which at least prevented the pain caused from the acidic saliva. The vaccine was spread with the Kingdom of the Remnant, which consented to being absorbed into Skelmrelm, but the Spire Realm told themselves they could "handle this." They were all dead in three weeks. Gondolinius learned to work with the disease, and the hot climate created its first mutation, spread by melted cells. This resulted in a burning sensation throughout the body, which the Southern Order (now a strong theo-political presence in the area) promoted as a religious experience, not knowing how deadly the disease was. Lacertiliitis and the "Fire of the Heavens" mutation spread even more rapidly throughout Gondolinius and eventually to the abandoned We Hate Fire Hospital, which still had the remains of fireplague all over it. The Imperialist Party of Gondolinius set up an initiative to promote the quarantining of sick individuals. The Southern Order fought back against this relentlessly, creating a split in the general population over whether or not the "Fire of the Heavens" phenomena was a religious experience or a serious medical condition. Those who considered it religious were eventually put in a mental hospital during the Second Apocalypse, and the rest ran away to the desert. That aside, the disease died out in the urban parts of Gondolinius, but thrived in the rural areas around the Fireplague hospital, which created it's own problem, but more on that later... In the CoN, where the disease was spread from Marricopra via Sevdrolet and the oilfield workers there, the disease also mutated, creating something similar to the "Fire of the Heavens" bacteria, but instead causing only the skin to burn and dry out. This version wasn't completely fatal, even though Lizard Pox wasn't prevalent among the CoN. It was thought that the melting of the cells in the unceasing heat lessened the effects, but the disease was eradicated in 1845 due to a spike in heat and a drought, and so was never able to be studied. By 1850, the disease had calmed down worldwide (except for Gondolinius). === Merging with Fireplague and Lacertiliitis-Fireplague Pandemic === The worst pandemic known to mankind started in 1895. It began in what was renamed the Great Imperial Quarantine Hospital in central Gondolinius (the site has once again been abandoned, and is no longer owned by the country), where the archaea-bacteria known as fireplague had lain dormant on all the abandoned tools, beds, and especially in the indent in the floor that had once been the One and Only Everlasting Flame. As Lacertiliitis patients flooded in, using all the infected equipment and lying in the fireplague-infested beds, the two diseases began to combine, resulting in the first case of what was known, rather creatively, as "Lacertiliitis-fireplague." The first recorded patient was Appap Nipzap, a dockworker, of southern Gondolinius. He first reported a 106-degree fever - the universal signal of fireplague - and the next day his skin turned red, and he was said to claim it "burned worse than the Fire of the Heavens" (a disease he had, at first, survived). Three days after first reporting a fever, the red receded, turning into small boils that bled. After five days he appeared to be recovering, until he reported the signifying mouth-esophagus-stomach pain that came with Lacertiliitis. After a week, he finally coughed up blood and died. The new mutation spread throughout the hospital faster than even the Fire of the Heavens, apparently being more contagious than any previous strain (spread via touch), leaving only two survivors - very pregnant women - who had a strange natural immunity. Lacertiliitis-fireplague spread slowly south and then trickled through the poorer, non-immune southern Gondolinius population. Before the Gondolinian government could figure out what was happening, thousands of carriers, sick, and healthy alike had boarded boats to Gusmoas and Oralotzo, one of the world's least populated areas. This mass exodus became the downfall of Imperial Gondolinius, but not quite yet. The sick aboard the Gusmoas-bound boats all died on the way, and only four remained and made it to land. They set fire to the boats they came on and as they incorporated themselves into the Silencian population, millions more died. The several dozens remaining declared themselves Gods and fled into the mountains, only to be discovered nearly a century later by the Orsk Federation. Silencio collapsed, utterly and completely, and the land became inhabitable, overrun by plants, weeds, and rabid animals. On Del Sacarmo, which was still dry and dusty from the sandstorms that plagued them almost a thousand years ago, received the refugees with open arms, only to kill three-quarters of the population. Only those in the North survived, quarantining themselves. The Orsk Federation received the disease via shipments from Santa Marino, and only went into lockdown after half of the population had been killed. Sometime during this the disease makes its way to Marricopra, where it kills King Jimmy the Nineteenth (and last), sending the Kingdom into upheaval. By 1896 the whole world is in lockdown, save for Odorslat, which can't sustain itself very well and goes to war. Saldon and Skelmrelm begin a decades-long war over the general control of Odorslat, which is slowly starving to death. Skelmrelm decides to send all of its scientists to the Central Archipelago, and other countries follow suit. The Shrine of the Great Star Lobster becomes a giant lab, with everyone working according to their own time zone schedule so work is always being done. In 1897 a vaccine is created by a team of Skelmish, Altarian, and Sevdroleti scientists. By 1901, the vaccine is distributed worldwide and rebuilding begins. Until the Second End of the World comes. === Second Apocalypse === Every year the Arch-Priest of the Northern Order got more and more mad at the financial support lent to the Southern Order and those who defected from the North, until they were all positively boiling with anger and in 1906 set fire to the capital of Gondolinius. Gondolinius assumed it was Marricopra - as they were prone to do, after the Seventy-Three-and-A-Half-Years War - and declared war on the very weakened kingdom. And then it happened. The fires, as it turned out, were ''still'' full of fireplague - somehow - and within a week both Gondolinius and Marricopra had a full-fledged outbreak on their hands. Gondolinius gave Marricopra a half-hearted apology and then returned to declare war on the Northern Order. But there were only 12 in the Order, and Gondolinius was still angry and so turned on itself and the Southern Order allies in Marricopra. So began the Fire Wars, with the Southern Order lighting anything aflame that stood in their path. At one point, they appeared to be gaining the upper hand, but then half of them came down with the newest Lacertiliitis-fireplague mutation. Though much of the world was vaccinated, the vaccine only worked on the 1895 strain, and those who had had Lizard Pox previously only had a 3-in-5 chance of recovery. From Marricopra the new strain spread to Altar, then to Ashmanschkra. From Gondolinius it went to Gusmoas, Santa Marino, and then to Seseco. Nowhere was safe anymore: the heat couldn't melt the diseased cells, and the cold couldn't kill them. The Fire Wars became an absolute farce, with no real end to them after the Gondolinian Emperor died of the plague. The Order was considered once and for all extinct, though it was rumored that members were still strewn worldwide, lighting fires in secret. Altar was so crippled by the plague and war effort that they consented to being owned by Ashmanschkra for a time. However, the Ashmanschkran government finally collapsed, for once and for all, ruined by internal fighting and the overabundance of Greeg lizards. Sevdrolet was finally overrun by the CoN, but then they all got sick. Sevdrolet had no official government after they all died of the plague, and the CoN retreated into itself, eventually being renamed the HPN. The Odorslatian governments survived; however, both were severely weakened and broke out into a few civil wars that all ended in painful deaths for all parties involved. Gusmoas continued to have no contact with the outside world, becoming increasingly more superstitious and oddly religious, founding the Church of the Party People in the Trees. The Basilica of the Treehouse was built on the ruins of the Palace of Tressene. The mountain people built a massive temple to their founders, which is actually quite beautiful - adorned with intricate carvings, reflecting pools, and floating candles, etc - that still stands today. They call it the First Wonder of the Modern World, and honestly, who can dispute that? Seseco had... problems (see: South Seseco). Oralotzo was almost completely wiped out, but a few thousand survived. They decided to work on re-fertilizing their soil, and only had contact with Skelmrelm. And the Kingdom of Marricopra, ruled by King Bantramus II, finally collapsed. With that ended the world's Second Age, and in 1920, Skelmrelm declared that the Second Apocalypse was over. So began the Third Age. === Modern Era === While not much lacertiliitis is known today, it is being studied in some of the world's hospitals and is expected to make a return someday.

The HPN landed on the north-east side, while using their Eddenaran and [[Sevdrolet]] territories to push into Eddenarah from there. In early 1974, Oralotzo joined the fight, invading from the north to capture the woods in central Eddenarah, then deciding to march on into [[Machrannah Square]]. Soon, Chechnyoslovenia gave the troops supplies. Then, [[Amantone Fleake]] of the Orsk Federation, announced that they were a supporter of the HPN and that Marricopra was politically unstable. === Help with Eddenarah === In 1975, Fictia and later Wyrde Rice decided to support Eddenarah. === 1976 === After some inactivity in the war, [[Abrion Happlar]] sent a letter to the Homaric Pact Nations to stop. As a response, Oralotzo sent back a letter saying "NO". == Notes == (Note 1) The Homaric Pact Nations argue that the whole territory was under Homaric control.

Invited were many famous bakers worldwide, one from every nation. The main participants were [[Gondolinius]]'s Oragor Mentaylis, [[Sevdrolet]]'s Jimalangang Kobrob, and the Tired-of-Dustee Ercal Bogefayal. Upon Ercal's winning of the competition, the judges didn't know who to give the trophy to (because they figured if they awarded it to themselves everyone would start a war against them) declared a tie between Hakha Rakhine and the Kingdom. Thus, the war began. Queen Ingelle "the Mad", queen of Marricopra, joined into the war due to Marricopra's Dark Age and coming in last place during the competition. ===First Battles=== The first battles were fought in many places, though generally agreed to be the first battle was the [[Battle of Nay]], between Hakha Rakhine and the Kingdom. After Marricopra joining in, the victory went to Hakha Rakhine. More battles, such as the major [[Battle of Sinoland]], the first Tired-of-Dustee victory in the war. However, the Kingdom was still losing the war by the middle of the war in 1508. ===Death of Queen Ingelle=== The first of two major turning points in the war occurred in September of 1508, when Queen Ingelle disappeared mysteriously. She was later found in the Oralian battlefield, with symptoms of fireplague and a stab in her arm. It was unknown what she died of- fireplague, war, or both, but this meant that her cousin, King [[Billy Bob VI]], could take over the throne. Billy Bob understood that Queen Ingelle didn't need to have the war, and gave the Kingdom several million nocks, and continued to support them for the rest of the war. [[Tressene]] then held the "Yay, Our Ally's Insane Queen Is Dead So We Don't Have To Care About Her Anymore" Party, which ended fighting in the war for three days. ===Later Battles=== [[File:Occupation.png|thumb|A map of the area just before the Battle of West Sambia. Blue is the Kingdom's territories and the other colour is that of Hakha Rakhine and their allies.]] After this change of sides, the war started leaning in the Kingdom's favour. They managed to capture, at this point, all of the major cities in Hakha Rakhine except Khaikon, home of the Kachin and Chin. However, things began to turn around once again when Oralotzo, out of revenge against the Kingdom which they hated. At the time, the Kingdom and Marricopra were moving troops to invade West Sambia. However, Oralotzo came in and helped win the battle, then allowing Hakha Rakhine to continue pushing back the Kingdom. Finally, on March the First 1509, after a three-month-long seige on [[Yango]], the [[Treaty of Yango]] was signed, allowing the Kingdom to surrender and ending the war. Shortly thereafter, everyone was invited to Tressene's "Hakha Rakhine is a Nation Now and the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust Are Gone" party. == Aftermath == The war resulted in the creation of [[Hakha Rakhine]], which became very rich due to the luxuries imported by the Kingdom towards the second half of the war. The Kingdom was finally disolved, and everyone could finally say they actually ''liked'' dust (indeed, Hakha Rakhine was hit with a short sandstorm after that) and this was Marricopra's last war in [[Seseco]].

It's a refugee empire made of various groups who fled from [[Seseco]] during the Second Apocalypse to a place so cold and abandoned, they figured they'd be safe. Since things stabilized in 1920, this section of the ice cap was largely composed of various warring microstates until the arrival of the mysterious Time Traveler in 1973, who united the groups and turned them into Fictia. It is one of the founding states of the [[Great Universal Empire]] == Etymology == The Fictian Empire is derived from the name "Fictia", which is of completely unknown origin. The Time Traveler's suggestions (see history) are the reason the name became adopted for the new country. There is a possibility it is derived from [[Spire Realm|the Old Spirian]] word *pikshi "fake, false, mythical" though it is most likely not true. == History == === Origins === ==== Settlement ==== Most of the territory of the modern Fictian Empire has, for almost all of history, been an unpopulated ice shelf. This only began to change in the early 1900s, when the [[World History#The Second Apocalypse: 1906|Second Apocalypse]] caused chaos worldwide, including a collapse in many nations located on the continent of Seseco People fearing the destruction or with no place to go bought (or stole) boats and emigrated in droves, heading to the northern ice cap which the refugees figured was open land nearby, yet too insignificant for other nations to invade (or the infamous [[fireplague-lacitiis]] plague). This group struggled greatly to build shelters or obtain food on the tundra, and so only about 33% of the migrants are thought to have survived (or not fled) to settle. ==== War ==== In the 1920s, the settlers of the Septrontiland ice shelf had begun to unite with each other into numerous tiny nations best comparable to chiefdoms (largely due to the fact refugees from every nation on Seseco, and some from elsewhere, inhabited the area). For the next 50 years, there was continuous warfare between these unimportant chiefdoms which were ignored by literally the entire rest of the world. Some would be listed here, but the majority were failed raids and the complete history is so boring you'd likely fall asleep reading the first paragraph. === Foundation === This changed in 1973, when a mysterious figure in an extremely expensive and fancy coat appeared from nowhere and traveled between the weak chiefdoms. He visited each and every one and spoke at town meetings where he advocated for a new way of life. "Being so weak and divided is ungroovy!", he often said. "If this ice shelf unites under one country, it will be mighty and nothing can be groovier!" His arguments began to win over the chiefdoms, who agreed to cease fighting and unite under a state the mysterious time traveler (as everyone presumed from the decade-old slang) would set up. He had some extremely strange ideas: for maximum "grooviness", the nation would have to adopt a mysterious, otherworldly flag and the name of "Fictia" which was completely unheard of in the ice shelf. He insisted the identity would make the ice shelf the founder of a great and even universal empire. The new country took form as an absolute monarchy under a complex bureaucracy that incorporated many of the formal petty chiefdom rulers. The ruler, according to the Time Traveler, had to be named "George" according to some ancient universal law, so a random baker with that name was declared the 1st Fictian Emperor. But after all of this had occurred, the Time Traveler made a comment to himself about having made "a mistake in the wrong dimension" and disappeared without a trace. The Fictians didn't care about his vanishing though, and the new empire is determined to become powerful and fulfill the promises given to them. To secure some non-polar land, a small force was sent by ship to secure land in the newly-discovered [[New Ehtje]] (now Wyrdeland) region to the East, and there began building the imperial capital of [[Very Lengthy And Undescriptive-Named City]]. An Exarch elected by the residents of the Septrontiland ice shelf and approved by the Emperor in that region, making such distant rule a possibility. Things are looking bright for the new Empire, which is now seeking allies and vowing to "never give up, let down, run around, or desert" it's allies (lyrics from a song the Time Traveler insisted as national anthem). === Early History === Since Fictia had previously been made of pathetically weak chiefdoms, it had no military or infrastructure at its beginnings. It struggled along in this state for 2 years, but still decided to use its "power" to influence the [[Next Jimmy Uprising]] since [[Marricopra]] offered a trade alliance-advocating for a middle-of-the-road position incorporating the old aristocracy into a republic. Why the republic decided to ask a powerless absolute monarchy for assistance in staying a democracy is beyond the writer. Fictia also sent expeditions east in [[Wyrdeland]] that expanded the empire in its weak phase. Fictia also allied with [[Skelmrelm]] and the [[HPN]] at this point, and began to get its act together with infrastructure construction in 1975. In 1976, an agreement was reached between Fictia, the HPN, and Skelmrelm to create the [[Great Universal Empire]]-an idea that is thought to have been inspired by the same mysterious prophet who founded Fictia to begin with. Fictia legally became "The State of Fictia" with this change, but continued to go by the "Fictian Empire" internally-meaning there was technically an empire inside an empire. == Government == Fictia is an absolute monarchy, with [[Emperor George VII|George VII]] as the current emperor. The monarch can do anything he wants as long as it doesn't contradict existing law (this will likely become a problem...), and has direct control over the capital (which has a name is long to write another time) and the surrounding province of Tutus. Supporting his rule is a complex bureaucracy composing of yearly-elected local officials (for villages, towns, and city departments), imperial-appointed governors over each province (selected by the merit of local officials-or at first warring chiefs), and finally a group of ministers in charge of the imperial bureaus who are also chosen by merit. In distant territories, the emperor is expected to appoint an Exarch who serves as a civil and military governor of the territory, with effectively unlimited power unless the emperor or law contradicts him. Exarchs are to be selected by the population of the territory in an election and then approved by the emperor (who has complete veto power), but have no fixed term lengths until they die or resign. This makes it possible for foreign territories to have self-rule and respond to invasions themselves, and helps to keep down unrest/rebellions in the Empire.

The monarch also has 7 bureaus established to take some governmental roles; they hold all powers the bureaus do but each can also make its own choices and is headed by a monarch-appointed head: * Bureau of People Who Love To Go Overseas And Talk With Foreign Leaders: Foreign Relations * Bureau of People Who Ensure That Every Fictian is Satisfied With Their Life: Infrastructure & Quality of Life * Bureau of People Who Do Research Behind-The-Scenes and Know All About World Affairs: [REDACTED] (but you can probably guess it's an intelligence agency) * Bureau of People Who Advance Technology and Improve the World for the Better: Technological & Business Management * Bureau of People Who Keep Fictia Safe From Any and All Foreign Threats: Military * Bureau of Funding: Exactly what it says because nobody likes taxes. * Bureau of People Who Are Bored and Just Need a Government Job For No Reason: Absolutely nothing.

It's a refugee empire made of various groups who fled from [[Seseco]] during the Second Apocalypse to a place so cold and abandoned, they figured they'd be safe. Since things stabilized in 1920, this section of the ice cap was largely composed of various warring microstates until the arrival of the mysterious Time Traveler in 1973, who united the groups and turned them into Fictia. It is one of the founding states of the [[Great Universal Empire]] == Etymology == The Fictian Empire is derived from the name "Fictia", which is of completely unknown origin. The Time Traveler's suggestions (see history) are the reason the name became adopted for the new country. There is a possibility it is derived from [[Spire Realm|the Old Spirian]] word *pikshi "fake, false, mythical" though it is most likely not true. == History == === Origins === ==== Settlement ==== Most of the territory of the modern Fictian Empire has, for almost all of history, been an unpopulated ice shelf. This only began to change in the early 1900s, when the [[World History#The Second Apocalypse: 1906|Second Apocalypse]] caused chaos worldwide, including a collapse in many nations located on the continent of Seseco People fearing the destruction or with no place to go bought (or stole) boats and emigrated in droves, heading to the northern ice cap which the refugees figured was open land nearby, yet too insignificant for other nations to invade (or the infamous [[fireplague-lacitiis]] plague). This group struggled greatly to build shelters or obtain food on the tundra, and so only about 33% of the migrants are thought to have survived (or not fled) to settle. ==== War ==== In the 1920s, the settlers of the Septrontiland ice shelf had begun to unite with each other into numerous tiny nations best comparable to chiefdoms (largely due to the fact refugees from every nation on Seseco, and some from elsewhere, inhabited the area). For the next 50 years, there was continuous warfare between these unimportant chiefdoms which were ignored by literally the entire rest of the world. Some would be listed here, but the majority were failed raids and the complete history is so boring you'd likely fall asleep reading the first paragraph. === Foundation === This changed in 1973, when a mysterious figure in an extremely expensive and fancy coat appeared from nowhere and traveled between the weak chiefdoms. He visited each and every one and spoke at town meetings where he advocated for a new way of life. "Being so weak and divided is ungroovy!", he often said. "If this ice shelf unites under one country, it will be mighty and nothing can be groovier!" His arguments began to win over the chiefdoms, who agreed to cease fighting and unite under a state the mysterious time traveler (as everyone presumed from the decade-old slang) would set up. He had some extremely strange ideas: for maximum "grooviness", the nation would have to adopt a mysterious, otherworldly flag and the name of "Fictia" which was completely unheard of in the ice shelf. He insisted the identity would make the ice shelf the founder of a great and even universal empire. The new country took form as an absolute monarchy under a complex bureaucracy that incorporated many of the formal petty chiefdom rulers. The ruler, according to the Time Traveler, had to be named "George" according to some ancient universal law, so a random baker with that name was declared the 1st Fictian Emperor. But after all of this had occurred, the Time Traveler made a comment to himself about having made "a mistake in the wrong dimension" and disappeared without a trace. The Fictians didn't care about his vanishing though, and the new empire is determined to become powerful and fulfill the promises given to them. To secure some non-polar land, a small force was sent by ship to secure land in the newly-discovered [[New Ehtje]] (now Wyrdeland) region to the East, and there began building the imperial capital of [[Very Lengthy And Undescriptive-Named City]]. An Exarch elected by the residents of the Septrontiland ice shelf and approved by the Emperor in that region, making such distant rule a possibility. Things are looking bright for the new Empire, which is now seeking allies and vowing to "never give up, let down, run around, or desert" it's allies (lyrics from a song the Time Traveler insisted as national anthem). === Early History === Since Fictia had previously been made of pathetically weak chiefdoms, it had no military or infrastructure at its beginnings. It struggled along in this state for 2 years, but still decided to use its "power" to influence the [[Next Jimmy Uprising]] since [[Marricopra]] offered a trade alliance-advocating for a middle-of-the-road position incorporating the old aristocracy into a republic. Why the republic decided to ask a powerless absolute monarchy for assistance in staying a democracy is beyond the writer. Fictia also sent expeditions east in [[Wyrdeland]] that expanded the empire in its weak phase. Fictia also allied with [[Skelmrelm]] and the [[HPN]] at this point, and began to get its act together with infrastructure construction in 1975. In 1976, an agreement was reached between Fictia, the HPN, and Skelmrelm to create the [[Great Universal Empire]]-an idea that is thought to have been inspired by the same mysterious prophet who founded Fictia to begin with. Fictia legally became "The State of Fictia" with this change, but continued to go by the "Fictian Empire" internally-meaning there was technically an empire inside an empire. == Government == Fictia is an absolute monarchy, with [[George VII]] as the current emperor. The monarch can do anything he wants as long as it doesn't contradict existing law (this will likely become a problem...), and has direct control over the capital (which has a name is long to write another time) and the surrounding province of Tutus. Supporting his rule is a complex bureaucracy composing of yearly-elected local officials (for villages, towns, and city departments), imperial-appointed governors over each province (selected by the merit of local officials-or at first warring chiefs), and finally a group of ministers in charge of the imperial bureaus who are also chosen by merit. In distant territories, the emperor is expected to appoint an Exarch who serves as a civil and military governor of the territory, with effectively unlimited power unless the emperor or law contradicts him. Exarchs are to be selected by the population of the territory in an election and then approved by the emperor (who has complete veto power), but have no fixed term lengths until they die or resign. This makes it possible for foreign territories to have self-rule and respond to invasions themselves, and helps to keep down unrest/rebellions in the Empire. The original glacier territories on Septrontiland, divided into the provinces of Frigida and Calidum, are currently organized as the [[Exarchate of Septrontiland]] under the rule of [[Robert Magnus]], also originally a warring chief and the most successful of them. === Bureaus === Fictia's government is headed by the monarchy as described above.

Things are looking bright for the new Empire, which is now seeking allies and vowing to "never give up, let down, run around, or desert" it's allies (lyrics from a song the Time Traveler insisted as national anthem). === Early History === Since Fictia had previously been made of pathetically weak chiefdoms, it had no military or infrastructure at its beginnings. It struggled along in this state for 2 years, but still decided to use its "power" to influence the [[Next Jimmy Uprising]] since [[Marricopra]] offered a trade alliance-advocating for a middle-of-the-road position incorporating the old aristocracy into a republic. Why the republic decided to ask a powerless absolute monarchy for assistance in staying a democracy is beyond the writer. Fictia also sent expeditions east in [[Wyrdeland]] that expanded the empire in its weak phase. Fictia also allied with [[Skelmrelm]] and the [[HPN]] at this point, and began to get its act together with infrastructure construction in 1975. In 1976, an agreement was reached between Fictia, the HPN, and Skelmrelm to create the [[Great Universal Empire]]-an idea that is thought to have been inspired by the same mysterious prophet who founded Fictia to begin with. Fictia legally became "The State of Fictia" with this change, but continued to go by the "Fictian Empire" internally-meaning there was technically an empire inside an empire. == Government == Fictia is an absolute monarchy, with [[George VII]] as the current emperor. The monarch can do anything he wants as long as it doesn't contradict existing law (this will likely become a problem...), and has direct control over the capital (which has an extremely long name) and the surrounding province of Tutus. Supporting his rule is a complex bureaucracy composing of yearly-elected local officials (for villages, towns, and city departments), imperial-appointed governors over each province (selected by the merit of local officials-or at first warring chiefs), and finally a group of ministers in charge of the imperial bureaus who are also chosen by merit. In distant territories, the emperor is expected to appoint an Exarch who serves as a civil and military governor of the territory, with effectively unlimited power unless the emperor or law contradicts him. Exarchs are to be selected by the population of the territory in an election and then approved by the emperor (who has complete veto power), but have no fixed term lengths until they die or resign. This makes it possible for foreign territories to have self-rule and respond to invasions themselves, and helps to keep down unrest/rebellions in the Empire. The original glacier territories on Septrontiland, divided into the provinces of Frigida and Calidum, are currently organized as the [[Exarchate of Septrontiland]] under the rule of [[Robert Magnus]], also originally a warring chief and the most successful of them. === Bureaus === Fictia's government is headed by the monarchy as described above. The monarch also has 7 bureaus established to take some governmental roles; they hold all powers the bureaus do but each can also make its own choices and is headed by a monarch-appointed head: * Bureau of People Who Love To Go Overseas And Talk With Foreign Leaders: Foreign Relations * Bureau of People Who Ensure That Every Fictian is Satisfied With Their Life: Infrastructure & Quality of Life * Bureau of People Who Do Research Behind-The-Scenes and Know All About World Affairs: [REDACTED] (but you can probably guess it's an intelligence agency) * Bureau of People Who Advance Technology and Improve the World for the Better: Technological & Business Management * Bureau of People Who Keep Fictia Safe From Any and All Foreign Threats: Military * Bureau of Funding: Exactly what it says because nobody likes taxes. * Bureau of People Who Are Bored and Just Need a Government Job For No Reason: Absolutely nothing. [[File:Septrontiland Map.png|thumb|Map of the Exarchate of Septrontiland and provinces, cities, and resources.]] [[File:Fictia-Wyrdeland Map.png|thumb|Map of Fictia at Wyrdeland, including provinces, cities, and resources.]] === Provinces === '''Core Fictia:''' * Google Translatia (capital) * South Weird Rice (a misunderstanding of Wyrde Rice) * Non Finis * Borogrivistan * Domum '''Exarchate of Septrontiland:''' * Aspera (regional seat) * Inanus * Frigida * Apicem Terrae == Religion & Culture == Fictia has a strange culture. Most of the nation is influenced by [[Christianity]], which despite being a religion founded on a foreign and unknown planet is believed by half of Fictians due to knowledge that the universe is vast and likely has many more living worlds-perhaps there's even another Fictia (or 2) out there somewhere that could explain why the first Emperor George was "George VII"... The national flag is even inspired by a semi-mythological empire from this unknown world called the "Roman Empire" which was supposedly one of the first Christian states out there. A notable impact of Christian influence on the empire was [[Nicholas Claus]], an eccentric man who claims to deliver presents to the entire world every Christmas as a way to brighten the holiday. There's also a large minority that believes in [[Coming of the Great Star Lobsterism]], which was caused by missionaries from the HPN who came to Fictia early in its history. Despite also coming from a strange and unknown world, Great Star Lobsterism isn't taken very seriously by most Fictians and largely exists due to its wacky festivals and ties to the Homaric Pact. Outside of religious influences, Fictia is very much influenced by its polar past-more so than the time spent by the empire's forefathers in various nations of Seseco. Especially in Septrontiland, Fictians are famous for their expertise at ice sculpturing (the governor's palace in [[North Pole]] is, in fact, a glorified igloo) and the nation's greatest delicacy is hot chocolate. Over in Wyrdeland however, where conditions are more tropical, Fictia borrows from Skelmish culture in large part as an adaption to the area-there were attempts to build the national capital out of ice but they ended in the city losing all of its buildings and flooding repeatedly which nobody enjoyed. There's also some influence left over from the Time Traveler in both portions of the Empire-the most common joyful exclamation in Fictia is "groovy!" == Economics == Fictia is extremely rich in oil and metal. However, the Empire lacks fish and many other important materials like gravel, which currently makes trading a necessity. The currency of Fictia is the [[nock]] for simplicity. == Foreign Relations == Fictia had a trade alliance with [[United Eddenarah]]. They also are allied with [[Skelmrelm]] and [[HPN]], which led up to the GUE's formation.

At her school (which wasn't really a school since Eddenarah didn't have public education at the time) she got very bad grades and was known to have peculiar and bad behaviour. However, her just-as-mean parents didn't seem to mind. == Reign == At the age of 20, she succeeded the throne. However, she was largely unpopular. Her teacher attempted to flee the kingdom, and also warned others of Ingelle not being fit to be queen. Ingelle got mad at her and threw her in jail for defamation, and that was how she came to be known as Queen Ingelle "the mad". === "Golden" Age === In the golden age of her reign, she ordered many insane orders- for example, the [[Great Eddenaran Baking Competition of 1505]], which ended with many people dying and everyone in Eddenarah worn out from baking, and the Three Nock Coin Redesigning of 1507, where she ended up killing all who tried to redesign the Three Nock coin without putting her image and name on it. === War of the Chicken Pie === She was later significantly enraged when Marricopra ended up last place in the [[War of the Chicken Pie]] which contributed to her anger about the Marricopran Dark Age (which she mainly contributed to). Therefore, she declared war, fighting on her own side but not winning the war that much. She was very into the war, and was present screaming and fighting on every battle on the war front. However, this lead to her death, where on September 15th of 1508, she was found dead on the battlefield with a stab in her arm and [[fireplague]] symptoms. It is unknown what killed her. == Legacy == Ingelle is still known as "Ingelle the Mad" in Eddenarah today. "Ingelle" is an insult in Eddenaran, meaning that someone is dumb, crazy, and insane. She is also like something [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloody_Mary_(folklore) vaguely familiar].

Skelmrelm is the only nation currently inhabiting Odorslat. Skelmrelm is a [[Constitutional Monarchy]], and has a population of 47,222,418 people. It has 8 cities. It was one of the founding nations of the [[Great Universal Empire]]. == History == Skelmrelm was a product of [[The Flood]]. Before it was called Skelmrelm, it was called Locfortis, meaning Place for the Strong in Old Skelmish. Locfortis was what it meant; a place for the strong. With the path being cleared for nations to start their rise, Locfortis was one of the first to do so. They were a simple and kind people; simply wanting to settle down and come together to prevent future disasters from destroying them completely. They had established cities in Odorslat, [[Mocze]], and [[Seseco]]. However, in Mocze, 1406, a problem arised. A scientist, trying to find the secret to immortality, discovered a disease. This disease, called [[Fireplague]], caused fever, boils, coughing blood, and death. The doctor tried making a cure, but got infected. The disease spread like wildfire; soon, the city of [[Vredestad]] was gone to the masses of infected dead bodies. The disease would spread all the way throughout Mocze, rendering it inhabitable. Other nations around the world managed to stop it from spreading to other continents, and the world was calm again. For 103 years. In 1509, the nation of [[Gondolinius]] wanted to clear Mocze of Fireplague. And so, they fashioned suits, meant to protect against Fireplague. These suits worked for the most part, however, there was a flaw in some of them. This lead to some people being infected, and going back to Gondolinus (and other nations) without noticing. Outbreaks in Gondolinius, Locfortis, and others, were popping up more often. The nations tried to stop these from spreading to their mainland, which, for the most part, they were successful. By this time, a cure was being researched. 5 years later, in 1581, it was finally created and used to render Mocze inhabitable again. And so, Fireplague was removed from the world... almost. Many years later, in 1683, the economy was great. Trade was bustling, and they were the main market for goods such as timber, food, and minerals. However, a terrorist attack done on the city of [[Liefde]] destroyed many trade centers. The terrorist attack led to thousands of homes being destroyed, and Liefde became a ghost town. This brought down the economy so much, in 1684, the economy collapsed. Many people lived in poverty. Since so many nations depended on Locfortis for so much, they too reached an economic low. This lasted for 4 years. After the economy slowly recovered, another grave disaster hit the nation. They had full control over the nation of Odorslat; it was where they originally came from, and it was where their capital was located. However, in 1775, a huge earthquake caused the republic to collapse, causing the nation to split into several others. One of the nations was [[Saldon]]. Through this earthquake, a man named [[Skelm Relm the First|Skelm Relm]] stood up to help his fellow citizens and his nation recover. His efforts were not in vain, and they helped a lot to make the country return to it's former glory. For his accomplishments and his actions towards saving Locfortis, he was crowned the king of Locfortis. The country decided to rename Locfortis, in his honor, to Skelmrelm. And, from this day forth, he was officially known as Skelm Relm the First. Statues and memorials were built to commemorate his achievements after his death in 1791. His death caused a lot of panic; however, his only child, [[Skelm Relm the 2nd]], managed to help the country recover. And, henceforth, all descendants of Skelm Relm the First are numbered. In 1837, a disease called [[Lacertiliitis]] had popped up. It caused its victims saliva to turn into hydrochloric acid, causing them a lot of pain, and death in 2 days. Skelmrelm had funded the research for the cure of Lacertiliitis, however, before the cure arrived, a new strand of it was discovered. It was a combination of Lacertiliitis and Fireplague, called the [[Lacertiliitis-Fireplague]] Virus. Every Skelmish scientist banded together with scientists from other nations to find a cure to it, and every nation went into lockdown. This caused another economic collapse in Skelmrelm. It lasted until the virus was cured, in 1900 AY. In 1971, due to a believed lack of civilian care, a rebellion happened in the Mocze colonies of Skelmrelm. A little while later, Skelmrelm fixed this lack of civilian care and offered a treaty. This divided the rebels into two groups; Pro-Treaty, and Anti-Treaty. The Pro-Treaty side wanted to accept the treaty and stay a part of Skelmrelm, while Anti-Treaty wanted the opposite and wanted to be a soverign nation. This was the start of what is known as the [[Mocze Civil War]]. Although the Anti-Treaty side surrendered, it is yet to come to a conclusion.

It was one of the founding nations of the [[Great Universal Empire]]. == History == Skelmrelm was a product of [[The Flood]]. Before it was called Skelmrelm, it was called Locfortis, meaning Place for the Strong in Old Skelmish. Locfortis was what it meant; a place for the strong. With the path being cleared for nations to start their rise, Locfortis was one of the first to do so. They were a simple and kind people; simply wanting to settle down and come together to prevent future disasters from destroying them completely. They had established cities in Odorslat, [[Mocze]], and [[Seseco]]. Locfortis was not very hard hit by the [[fireplague]] [[World History#The Fireplague Epidemic: 1406-1455|epidemic]] due to being far north and the archae-bacteria of the virus dying before it could infect people. Thus, Locfortis ignored the plague going on in [[Mocze]], [[Eddenarah]], and other areas. Many years later, in 1683, the economy was great. Trade was bustling, and they were the main market for goods such as timber, food, and minerals. However, a terrorist attack done on the city of [[Liefde]] destroyed many trade centers. The terrorist attack led to thousands of homes being destroyed, and Liefde became a ghost town. This brought down the economy so much, in 1684, the economy collapsed. Many people lived in poverty. Since so many nations depended on Locfortis for so much, they too reached an economic low. This lasted for 4 years. After the economy slowly recovered, another grave disaster hit the nation. They had full control over the nation of Odorslat; it was where they originally came from, and it was where their capital was located. However, in 1775, a huge earthquake caused the republic to collapse, causing the nation to split into several others. One of the nations was [[Saldon]]. Through this earthquake, a man named [[Skelm Relm the First|Skelm Relm]] stood up to help his fellow citizens and his nation recover. His efforts were not in vain, and they helped a lot to make the country return to it's former glory. For his accomplishments and his actions towards saving Locfortis, he was crowned the king of Locfortis. He decided to rename Locfortis in his honour, as Skelmrelm. And, from this day forth, he was officially known as Skelm Relm the First. Statues and memorials were built to commemorate his achievements after his death in 1791. His death caused a lot of panic; however, his only child, [[Skelm Relm the 2nd]], managed to help the country recover. And, henceforth, all descendants of Skelm Relm the First are numbered. In 1837, a disease called [[Lacertiliitis]] had popped up. Skelmrelm teamed up with [[Saldon]] in 1849 and succeeded in creating a vaccine, which (barely) worked. Then, [[lacertiliitis-fireplague]] came along. Every Skelmish scientist banded together with scientists from other nations to find a cure to it, and every nation went into lockdown. The pandemic disappeared briefly, before reappearing for the Second Apocalypse. This caused another economic collapse in Skelmrelm. It lasted until the virus basically went away and Skelmrelm declared the world safe, in 1920 AY. In 1971, due to a believed lack of civilian care, a rebellion happened in the Mocze colonies of Skelmrelm. A little while later, Skelmrelm fixed this lack of civilian care and offered a treaty. This divided the rebels into two groups; Pro-Treaty, and Anti-Treaty. The Pro-Treaty side wanted to accept the treaty and stay a part of Skelmrelm, while Anti-Treaty wanted the opposite and wanted to be a soverign nation. This was the start of what is known as the [[Mocze Civil War]]. Although the Anti-Treaty side surrendered, it is yet to come to a conclusion. In 1975, Skelmrelm made a deal with Hakha Rakhine to give their land to Skelmrelm, as part of their plan to reunite the continent of Odorslat. They have also made an offer to Saldon for their land.

Before it was called Skelmrelm, it was called Locfortis, meaning Place for the Strong in Old Skelmish. Locfortis was what it meant; a place for the strong. With the path being cleared for nations to start their rise, Locfortis was one of the first to do so. They were a simple and kind people; simply wanting to settle down and come together to prevent future disasters from destroying them completely. They had established cities in Odorslat, [[Mocze]], and [[Seseco]]. However, in Mocze, 1406, a problem arised. A scientist, trying to find the secret to immortality, discovered a disease. This disease, called [[Fireplague]], caused fever, boils, coughing blood, and death. The doctor tried making a cure, but got infected. The disease spread like wildfire; soon, the city of [[Vredestad]] was gone to the masses of infected dead bodies. Many years later, in 1683, the economy was great. Trade was bustling, and they were the main market for goods such as timber, food, and minerals. However, a terrorist attack done on the city of [[Liefde]] destroyed many trade centers. The terrorist attack led to thousands of homes being destroyed, and Liefde became a ghost town. This brought down the economy so much, in 1684, the economy collapsed. Many people lived in poverty. Since so many nations depended on Locfortis for so much, they too reached an economic low. This lasted for 4 years. After the economy slowly recovered, another grave disaster hit the nation. They had full control over the nation of Odorslat; it was where they originally came from, and it was where their capital was located. However, in 1775, a huge earthquake caused the republic to collapse, causing the nation to split into several others. One of the nations was [[Saldon]]. Through this earthquake, a man named [[Skelm Relm the First|Skelm Relm]] stood up to help his fellow citizens and his nation recover. His efforts were not in vain, and they helped a lot to make the country return to it's former glory. For his accomplishments and his actions towards saving Locfortis, he was crowned the king of Locfortis. He decided to rename Locfortis in his honour, as Skelmrelm. And, from this day forth, he was officially known as Skelm Relm the First. Statues and memorials were built to commemorate his achievements after his death in 1791. His death caused a lot of panic; however, his only child, [[Skelm Relm the 2nd]], managed to help the country recover. And, henceforth, all descendants of Skelm Relm the First are numbered. In 1837, a disease called [[Lacertiliitis]] had popped up. Skelmrelm teamed up with [[Saldon]] in 1849 and succeeded in creating a vaccine, which (barely) worked. Then, [[lacertiliitis-fireplague]] came along. Every Skelmish scientist banded together with scientists from other nations to find a cure to it, and every nation went into lockdown. The pandemic disappeared briefly, before reappearing for the Second Apocalypse. This caused another economic collapse in Skelmrelm. It lasted until the virus basically went away and Skelmrelm declared the world safe, in 1920 AY. In 1971, due to a believed lack of civilian care, a rebellion happened in the Mocze colonies of Skelmrelm. A little while later, Skelmrelm fixed this lack of civilian care and offered a treaty. This divided the rebels into two groups; Pro-Treaty, and Anti-Treaty. The Pro-Treaty side wanted to accept the treaty and stay a part of Skelmrelm, while Anti-Treaty wanted the opposite and wanted to be a soverign nation. This was the start of what is known as the [[Mocze Civil War]]. Although the Anti-Treaty side surrendered, it is yet to come to a conclusion. In 1975, Skelmrelm made a deal with Hakha Rakhine to give their land to Skelmrelm, as part of their plan to reunite the continent of Odorslat. They have also made an offer to Saldon for their land. This offer was accepted, and Skelmrelm successfully reunited the entirety of Odorslat. Skelmrelm has also teamed up with [[Oralotzo]] for building rockets to the moon and other space-related stuff.

This includes marine threats, naval attacks, nuclear force, invasion, etc. Other branches may come to assist this branch in times of desperation, such as the threat of total annihalation. They are referred to as Hoofs. === Spioenasiemagte === These are the secondary forces of Skelmrelm; they are in charge of infiltrating other countries, finding intelligence, and taking down enemy countries from the outside. They are also in charge of attacking a country; being on the offense, in other words. They are referred to as Spioenes. === Beskermvriend === These are the tertiary forces of Skelmrelm; rather than attacking on behalf of Skelmrelm, they attack to protect other countries (allies). They are stationed in various Skelmish bases around the world. They are referred to as Beskers. Additionally, there's a top-secret branch of the military. === Nemo Relictus === Nemo Relictus ([[Old Skelmish]] for Leave Nobody Alive, often times shortened to Nemorectus by members of the government, is a top-secret branch of the military that has an extremely limited number of soldiers. It is comprised of 10 of the world's deadliest assassins. Their motto is "Qui non sequuntur, moriuntur.", which is Old Skelmish for "Those who do not follow, die.". == Language == Skelmrelm speaks [[Skelmish]], a combination of Afrikaans, German, and a tiny bit of Spanish. It is 89% Afrikaans, 19% German, and 1% Spanish. Dit is Skelmish in aktion. Dit word soos Duits ausgesprochen. Some words change based on whether it's using a feminine or mascsuline tone. For example, talking about his hourglass would be "el Sanduhr", while talking about her hourglass would be "la uurglas". Pronounciation is German. == Agencies == * SPA (Skelmrelm Protection Agency) * SSAA (Skelmrelm Scientific Advancement Agency) * SIA (Skelmrelm Intelligence Agency) * SAD (Skelmish Air Defense) * BSS (Bureau of Skelmish Safety) * DPA (Disease Protection Agency) * SSDA (Skelmrelm Sea Defense Agency) * AACC (Agency of Allied Communication and Correspondence) * ECA (External Communication Agency) * SAS (Space Agency of Skelmrelm) == Famous Landmarks == * Institute of Mocze Research * Skelm Relm the First Burial Site * Abandoned Hospital ==Note== While the Skelmish say that this is the origin of fireplague, others state that it arose naturally from the fires of [[The One and Only Everlasting Flame]]. Whichever is true is still under debate. It is possible that the scientist's microbes slipped into the fires.

Skelm Relm was a somewhat popular name at the time of birth, especially in Skelm where many proclaimed extreme loyalty to the city of Skelm and thus naming their children that. Skelm Relm later named Skelmrelm after him, or possibly the city of Skelm. == Early Life == Skelm was born in the city of [[Skelm]], when Skelmrelm was still [[Odorslat]]. == Adult Life == As an adult, Skelm inherited the family business of carpentry and renamed the store "Skelm General Wood--- You Need It, Skelm Gives It!" and he became very rich. At the age of thirty-three, a neighbour attempted to murder him- however, he escaped and the neighbour was arrested. He also maintained an extreme belief of partitioning Odorslat up to the different cultures. == Reign == During the 1775 Earthquake, his seperatist beliefs and the extreme loyalty to the Skelmish in Skelm allowed him to take control of Skelm and other Skelmish cities after the Republic of Odorslat fell. He ascended to the throne at 45, and had a brief war against the Spire Realm before his death in 1791 at the age of sixty. == Legacy == Skelmrelm is named after him today, as well as every single leader of Skelmrelm after him. His son, Skelm Relm the Second, became the new leader of Skelmrelm.

Please improve the article for this.'' What do you mean, encyclopedic tone? That's the point. - Trix They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya. Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == ''Main Article: [[Arachus Betznel]]'' They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate the Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and while Eddenarah had the upper hand at first, the Lobsterites gradually improved. When they unified under the name Children of Nephrops then they routed Eddenarah off of the islands. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == ''Main Article: [[Dark Ages]]'' Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish were the Children of Nephrops (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Children of Nephrops (CoN) just to say "HA!" The CoN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The CoN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the CoN's capital. The CoN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The CoN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The CoN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the CoN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the CoN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the CoN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the CoN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the CoN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. South Seseco is also a place of many inventions, the [[Traffic Signal]] (1872, [[Saint Vennes]], [[Deprivique]]), [[Printing Press]] (1450, [[Burges]], [[Grand Duchy of Burges]]) and [[Controlled Access Motorway]] (1913, [[Kvev]], [[Tornobyl]]) were all invented here. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chyeve]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. The two sides united in 1550 to form the Chkyeb Uniate. Expansion continued eastward. In 1620 a civil war began. ==== The Jenois War of 1620 ==== Jenois was an exclave of people who remained in the Mountain Culture. They called themselves Kruchtevs (a common term used to refer to them in a negative light was "Crookies") and their capital was [[Kauter]]. [[Jenois|Jenois City]], as we know it today was an orsk catholic outpost that spoke Letique. The Kruchtevs were under severe penal laws, below is a basic rundown: * Crookies may not buy land unless the land had been owned by another Crookie. * Crookies may not go to school. * Crookies could not practice religion. * Crookies may only speak Letique. * Crookies may not possess anything that could be used to defend themselves * A maximum of one shop could be opened by a Crookie in any one town. * Crookies could only shop at places owned by Crookies. * Crookies could not ride carriages or own horses. * So on, So forth The first "Crookie Uprising" was actually in 1590 but it failed miserably and half of [[Kauter]] was burned to the ground. In 1620, with help from the [[Tornobyl Arms Association]] they were able to start a revolution in Kauter. The surrounding area was quickly captured and the [[Kruchtev Union]] was declared. They were followed by Deprivique, a region also descriminated against because of their Vizantian Catholic faith. Together the two new nations took over everything east of the Chkyiv Mountains. At home, the Uniate was struggling to keep the peace as a new disease called "Crookpox" (named so because many believed it was a consequence of discriminating against the Kruchtevs) was running rampant throughout the country. The [[Kruchtev Union]], [[Deprivique Republic]] and [[Letoque State]] (Puppet of Deprivique) were given fully recognised independance. ==== Reunited ==== In 1720, Letoque joined Deprivique to create the [[Holy Vizantian Union]]. The [[Kruchtev Union]] united with the [[City State of Tornve]] to create the [[New Kruchtev State]]. In 1722 the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] reunited with the [[Verst Empire]] and in 1723 a war began. ==== War of Letoque (1723 - 1770) ==== On the 3rd September 1723 the 2nd Chkyeb Union declared war on the [[Holy Vizantian Union]] and the [[New Kruchtev State]]. At first, their attack was strong, they took over Tornve and many mountanious regions. But then winter hit. The counteroffensive was described by a verst survivor as "Fast and sharp". They mainly attacked at nigh tand in small numbers. The Verst army was pushed all the way back to Verst. By then Tornobyl joined the war and more reinforcements were coming from allied nations. The war went on like this for 47 years. Then they decided they would better just unite, lest lose anymore lives. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the east (1530): The wast was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Let's start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting each other. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. Deprivique natives originated from somewhere along the [[Vizantus Strait]]. They left their homeland of Dovranland due to a war with some neighboring power. We don't know how long ago this was, but best historians estimate that it was during the Post Flood era. [[File:0e5138d4-7ec9-4f38-9982-3b7a8d3af6d5.jpg|center|thumb|Mural in Petersport depicting the natives of Deprivique leaving their homeland circa 1198]]Deprivique was two kingdoms, the Grand Duchy of Hallem and the Kingdom of Leynes (now Petersport). They united in 748 to form the [[Deprivique Union]]. They were invaded by their neighbour, [[Letoque]] to the north ~912 during the [[Letoque Conquests]]. While they were independant not much notable happened. ===== Jenois ===== Today [[Jenois]] is a disputed canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] (Officially it is part of the canton [[Letoque Jenois]]) It does not have a very unique culture at all, they are basically just people from the Chkyiv Mountains who emmigrated west and met the Letoque people. Something that is notable about them is that they were hit incredibly hard during the Lacertiliitis. Almost three quarters of their population died, half of the remaining emmigrated. The city of Jenois was almost empty by 1900. They repopulated at very impressive rates, and today the region has a population of 1.4 Million. ===== Letoque ===== Letoque is and always was the dominant power in the West. The people of Letoque (Letiquain)'s origins are unknown but we think they came from the same place as the Tornoblites. The capital of Letoque is [[Saint Vennes]]. It is the second most populous canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] but has no city over one million in population. Over it's history Letoque has had a very unique take on land, similar to that of the Russian Empire. This encouraged people to spread out which is why they are significantly less dense than the other cantons. Letoque is home to Jenois, a disputed canton in it's east. Letoque lost land and was eventually destroyed in the [[Letoque Wars]] which lasted from 1610 - 1670 and main belligrents were the Verst Empire and Grand Duchy of Burges (GDB seceded from the Chkyeb Uniate in 1620). ==== Summary ==== South Seseco has had a history of civil wars, disease and violent wars, however it has also had times of prosperity. The "Seseco Golden Age" was the time from 1723 - 1803 both started and ended by war, but during which there was no fighting and instead inventions, discoveries and industrialisation. == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the CoN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The CoN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the [[Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame]] of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the [[The One and Only Everlasting Flame|Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame]], which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the CoN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == For those of you who are too lazy to read: basically the three powers of the Centrius Basin were at war off and on for 73 (and a quarter!) years. This was the last major war of this type, and ended with the CoN regaining control of the islands (for now...). In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the CoN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in late 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the CoN capital, while the CoN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). After half a year of this, all sides realized that this type of warfare was entirely unsustainable, and called a year-and-a-half ceasefire to build up their resources. In 1304 AY, Marricopra launched an assault on Centrius, and held and defended the island for ten years. The CoN was too busy rebuilding its capital for what was at least the third time, and so it was no difficulty for Marricopra to hold back the meager Ashmanschkri army, until 1314, when the CoN rejoined the battle, heading straight for the Marricopran capital. It was the worst destruction the area had seen since the Flood. Marricopra immediately moved backwards to defend their capital, and while the CoN-Marricopra conflict went on in what remained of the Valley of Pryoriya, Ashmanschkra took the islands. Marricopra eventually pushed back the CoN to the far East. The loss from this set of fighting sparked another ceasefire, this one lasting four and a half years. This truce was broken by the CoN, who made their first stab at Ashmanschkra. This time it was successful, and they officially owned the Ashmanschrki army (Sevdrolet refused to join this war. This created a rift in the country, but more on this later) for a time. However, the Army of Ashmanschkra the Inevitable refused to be owned by any other faction, and rebelled against the CoN generals, which put a slight dent in the CoN army, but mostly distracted them from the Marricopra 1326 invasion of Centrius. Marricopra owned the islands for another 5 years, in which the CoN ''and'' Ashmanschkra banded together (ironically) to shove them out, but the Marricopran army was so large they couldn't manage this until 1332, and then Ashmanschkra turned on the CoN, and they fought it out for a few years while Marricopra went back to rebuilding and making poisons from the lizards in the only national reserve, which was overhunted anyway. The longest ceasefire was from 1336-1343, after which Marricopra and the CoN simultaneously pulled support from the Order (both North and South). Ashmanschkra admitted defeat and decided to focus on its quickly worsening relations with the pacifist Sevdrolet. Once the Order got involved, almost everything within view was burned to the ground, Centrius became so inhabitable everyone wondered why they still fought over it, and King Vilassey of Marricopra died in battle, leaving no heirs but his niece, Nichra, who became the first Queen of Marricopra. She had little to no popular support, as she was a woman, but proved to be a brilliant strategist and brought Marricopra to an almost decisive victory at the Fourty-Fifth Battle of Great Nephrops Island, until the southern Order turned on them and Marricopra surrendered and shut its doors to the world. The CoN claimed Centrius, renamed it the Grand Lobster Islands, and the Order went home. In 1374, the Treaty of the Lobsterites was signed (grudgingly) by CoN general Parsley and Queen Nichra, who was at the very least lauded for her dignity in the face of such a crushing defeat. == The Fireplague Epidemic: 1406-1455 == The disease technically began spreading in 1402, but given the slowness of travel at the time, it didn't spread beyond the Great and True (Northern) Order until 1406. The One and Only Everlasting Flame apparently had microbes in them. Harmful ones. And after centuries of humans tending to the fire and its odd microbiome, they latched onto the Arch-Priests, and spread throughout the Mocze Desert's tent cities. It began with the Chief Arch-Priest, Bengellus, burning with a 106 degree fever. The next day, all four other Arch-Priests woke up with the same fever, and Bengellus broke out in hives said to burn "as if the Eternal Fire had itself showered its infernal sparks upon the skin." On the third day, Bengellus began vomiting blood. On the fourth, he died. The four remaining Arch-Priests all exhibited the same symptoms, but not within the same time frame. Hibriz died the day the boils appeared; Porops had a fever for a week and then got the boils and coughed blood (and died) all on the same day; Caprokcil only ever had boils, which lasted a week and a half and then he died with no warning; and Nezrel had a fever for two days, boils for a week and a half, and eventually recovered with only some light scarring. From Nezrel and the other four's caretakers, the disease spread across Mocze without warning and with no cure. Only a quarter of the Northern Order survives, and they start lighting fires in what is by then proto-Gondolinius, which spreads the disease through the southern Order like wildfire, and across the ocean to Marricopra via merchant ships. Marricopra gladly passes this on to the CoN and Ashmansckra via Altar (which has begun to rebel). All the guards on Great Nephrops Island die from the disease, but no one dares go replace them for fear of becoming infected themselves. Centrius goes unclaimed - it is during this time that Sevdrolet goes and unofficially names it the Central Archipelago, and the name sticks. The disease is sent north to Odorslat, but very few die as the cold climate cannot sustain the archaea-bacteria [''and yes, I'm basing the vaguely scientific nature of fireplague off of my 7th grade science class'']. What little of the disease can spread makes its way to Del Sacarmo/KoPWARToD, where it eventually dies out but destabilizes the colonial government enough for a complete overhaul, leaving the native [[Oralotzo|Oralians]] to kill the government and begin to rule themselves. After killing about a fifth of the Marricopran population (including the monarch, but they had a direct heir), more than half of Mocze, and a sixth of the rest of the world, the disease eventually dies down in 1455, as the population had naturally immunized itself, save for a few sparse outbreaks in remote areas. == The War of the Chicken Pie: 1507-1509 == ''Main Article: [[War of the Chicken Pie]]'' In 1507 AY, what remained of the KoPWARToD (a small scrap of land on Seseco; now Hakha Rakhine) held the First (and only) International Baking Competition, inviting famous bakers worldwide. Among them were Gondolinius's Oragor Mentaylis, who owned the World's Largest Bakery (and nobody dared fight him on that); Sevdrolet's Jimalangang Kobrob; and the KoPWARToD's Ercal Bogefayal, whose alliance was to the Rakhine rebellion brewing up north. Upon his winning the competition, the judges had no idea what country to award the top prize to, and so (as is, of course, usual) war was declared between the KoPWARToD and Hakha Rakhine. Marricopra threw themselves into the war, angry over the loss of Ashmanschkra and Centrius centuries before (and from getting last place in the competition), and led by Queen Ingelle "the Mad." They quickly drew out after the mysterious death of Ingelle and the ascension of King Billy Bob the Sixth, who gave the KoPWARToD several million dollars in reparations and an apology letter. What remained of the Northern Order finally wiped themselves out by throwing themselves and their disease-ridden bodies into the war. This ended with the Treaty of the Kitchen, the formation of Hakha Rakhine and the final dissolution of the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and the subsequent breakout of fireplague across Seseco. == The Second Fireplague Epidemic: 1509-1576 == The Seseco epidemic ended within a few months (see: the first fireplague epidemic and how that worked on Odorslat), but spread back south to Mocze via merchants from Santa Marino and then to Gondolinius, who sent diseased persons to Silencio and Marricopra out of spite (remember - they had their beginnings as religious fanatics). The two almost declared war in return, but then half of their armies fell ill and they decided otherwise. This epidemic went off and on for the next seventy years, with each breakout having epicenters in oddly diverse places, among them being the new Hakha Rakhine, the southernmost 2 blocks of a city in Odorslat, and Croissant Island. This epidemic ended with the Blizzard to End All Blizzards, which lasted exactly 3 days but was enough to kill the archaea-bacteria worldwide. The disease was confined to the We Hate Fire Quarantine Hospital, which was set up in the Mocze desert over the original site of the fire to ensure no one lighted it again. I would say there was peace from here on out, but there isn't, because this was when I remembered that tectonic plates were a thing. == The Split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet: 1599 and a couple years after that == The large, desert-y island of Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet, named after the two people groups that lived there, was situated on a fault line that became more precarious with each year after the Flood, until it finally broke apart during an earthquake and tsunami just south of the Central Archipelago, creating an event known as the Mini-Flood. The country officially became two (it had been threatening to become so for a while), with Ashmanschkra becoming the war peoples of the west, eagerly helping Altar break from Marricopra, though the Altarians themselves didn't care too much as Marricopra provided financial support. Sevdrolet was a nation of pacifists, and remained strictly neutral in all the Central Basin conflicts, though it formed close ties with the CoN. They became known for their art, and hated being invaded. However, seeing as they had no army, this happened over and over despite their declaring independence and creating more and more statues of famous Sevdroletis, which no one cared to take down as they actually looked quite good. The world began to be split over "do you support Ashmanschkra or Sevdrolet?" but as neither nation had the patience to fight the other, it all came to naught and everyone stopped caring, because the islands had moved into such a location to be perfect for beach vacations and millions flooded there. == The Economic Collapse of 1684 == After a little less than a century of relative-but-not-really peace, war in Skelmrelm completely demolished the economy of said country, bringing upon general economic collapse worldwide, as just about everyone depended on Skelmrelm for one reason or another. Does this name sound unfamiliar? Odorslat had, during this time, undergone yet another civil war that led to its renaming. The citizens were relieved that they were at least not called Knitted-Socks-ians. Skelmrelm during this time had moved past Marricopra in terms of GDP (and, in some areas, development) and become the new world epicenter, especially for the north. Gondolinius still considered Marricopra their main provider, however, and Silencio found the Kingdom easier to access. However, whatever petty disputes they had became unimportant in the face of total annihilation of all they'd worked for. However, with the discovery of oil deposits on Sevdrolet, the world economy slowly rebuilt as nations focused southward, and then back North after the Skelmrelm war ended. By 1690, the world economy had generally stabilized. == The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat == This is why the mountains have two main ranges. However, though the epicenter of this was in the mountains, aftershocks were so strong in the capital (on that bay just south of them) that it was completely demolished. This created a political split over who should rule where and how they should rebuild, and effectively ended the Republic of Odorslat as it was known. War broke out over the ruins of Odorslat-Priyoria, ending with the Treaty of What's Left of Priyoriya that split the country in four: Skelmrelm, the Republic of Saldon, the Kingdom of the Remnant, and the [[Spire Realm]]. The Kingdom of the Remnant was basically a puppet state of both Saldon and Skelmrelm, but at different times, seeing as it was located on the ruins of Priyoriya and only populated by a few thousand, mostly scholars and archaeologists there to study and preserve what was left of the city. Odorslat once again was no longer a world power, and Silencio began to compete with Marricopra for the title of highest GDP, until the 1794 Marricopran Revolution (see: [[The We're Sick of King Salamandario Revolution]]), after which the country turned inward to sort out its own problems. By 1799, the world was caught in a precarious balance between Skelmrelm and Silencio, as they had no access to Marricopra's resources (except for Sevdrolet, which the Kingdom just couldn't ignore). This resulted in a slight dip in the economy ~1800, but it eventually stabilized as Silencio began to compensate, and finally Marricopra (which had at last rid itself of Altar) reentered the world, about half the size it had been before. == Lacertiliitis: 1837-1850 == The disease began among the thousands of lizard species found at Great Lacertilia National Park. Still no one knows exactly which species spread it to humans, but the story goes like this: shopowner Tylline Tortatolus and his family visited the park in Firbicus 1837, and three weeks after returning, his wife died. Within the next two days, both of his children complained of pain in their mouth, throat, and stomach. Two days later, they died. Tylline lasted long enough to tell his neighbors of the strange occurrence, and then died in the home of musician Vollus Senddarry. The disease spread from the Senddarry household across the small town of Markpinne. The disease made it via caravan to the capital, and spread quickly through the population there. Then-Queen Nichra III soon realized what was happening and enforced a quarantine in the northeast part of the city, but not before boats carrying timber - the country's main resource - had reached Saldon, Gondolinius, and Oralotzo, spreading the disease there too. Soon testing was performed in the King Jimmy Central Hospital, and it was found that the disease turned one's saliva to hydrochloric acid. Scientists worldwide set to work creating a vaccine, but the most they could do was prevent death, though not entirely. Certain anomalies were found in the poorer parts of the city, where most of the population had already gone through a bout of Lizard Pox, a non-fatal disease spread by the Greeg lizard. Those who had already had the Pox were naturally immune to the disease - named Lacertiliitis after the park where it originated - and so many were hired on as doctors or even merely recipients of tests. They were paid by the government for their trouble, and often hired and paid ridiculous amounts of money to take over positions unstaffed because of the epidemic. Throughout the rest of the world scientists worked aggressively on creating a vaccine, or, in the case of Ashmanschkra, spreading Lizard Pox to as many citizens as possible. Because of this, most of the population had a natural immunity to Lacertiliitis by 1848. It is considered one of the most effective public health initiatives to date. Saldon and Skelmrelm teamed up to create a semi-effective vaccine, which forced out the virus by the second day, often leaving people on the brink of death but at least alive. They took to spreading numbing shots among their population, which at least prevented the pain caused from the acidic saliva. The vaccine was spread with the Kingdom of the Remnant, which consented to being absorbed into Skelmrelm, but the Spire Realm told themselves they could "handle this." They were all dead in three weeks. Gondolinius learned to work with the disease, and the hot climate created its first mutation, spread by melted cells. This resulted in a burning sensation throughout the body, which the Southern Order (now a strong theo-political presence in the area) promoted as a religious experience, not knowing how deadly the disease was. Lacertiliitis and the "Fire of the Heavens" mutation spread even more rapidly throughout Gondolinius and eventually to the abandoned We Hate Fire Hospital, which still had the remains of fireplague all over it. The Imperialist Party of Gondolinius set up an initiative to promote the quarantining of sick individuals. The Southern Order fought back against this relentlessly, creating a split in the general population over whether or not the "Fire of the Heavens" phenomena was a religious experience or a serious medical condition. Those who considered it religious were eventually put in a mental hospital during the Second Apocalypse, and the rest ran away to the desert. That aside, the disease died out in the urban parts of Gondolinius, but thrived in the rural areas around the Fireplague hospital, which created it's own problem, but more on that later... In the CoN, where the disease was spread from Marricopra via Sevdrolet and the oilfield workers there, the disease also mutated, creating something similar to the "Fire of the Heavens" bacteria, but instead causing only the skin to burn and dry out. This version wasn't completely fatal, even though Lizard Pox wasn't prevalent among the CoN. It was thought that the melting of the cells in the unceasing heat lessened the effects, but the disease was eradicated in 1845 due to a spike in heat and a drought, and so was never able to be studied. By 1850, the disease had calmed down worldwide (except for Gondolinius, but that's next). == Lacertiliitis-Fireplague Meltdown: 1895-1901 == The worst pandemic known to mankind. It began in what was renamed the Great Imperial Quarantine Hospital in central Gondolinius (the site has once again been abandoned, and is no longer owned by the country), where the archaea-bacteria known as fireplague had lain dormant on all the abandoned tools, beds, and especially in the indent in the floor that had once been the One and Only Everlasting Flame. As Lacertiliitis patients flooded in, using all the infected equipment and lying in the fireplague-infested beds, the two diseases began to combine, resulting in the first case of what was known, rather creatively, as "Lacertiliitis-fireplague." The first recorded patient was Appap Nipzap, a dockworker, of southern Gondolinius. He first reported a 106-degree fever - the universal signal of fireplague - and the next day his skin turned red, and he was said to claim it "burned worse than the Fire of the Heavens" (a disease he had, at first, survived). Three days after first reporting a fever, the red receded, turning into small boils that bled. After five days he appeared to be recovering, until he reported the signifying mouth-esophagus-stomach pain that came with Lacertiliitis. After a week, he finally coughed up blood and died. The new mutation spread throughout the hospital faster than even the Fire of the Heavens, apparently being more contagious than any previous strain (spread via touch), leaving only two survivors - very pregnant women - who had a strange natural immunity. Lacertiliitis-fireplague spread slowly south and then trickled through the poorer, non-immune southern Gondolinius population. Before the Gondolinian government could figure out what was happening, thousands of carriers, sick, and healthy alike had boarded boats to Gusmoas and Oralotzo, one of the world's least populated areas. This mass exodus became the downfall of Imperial Gondolinius, but not quite yet. The sick aboard the Gusmoas-bound boats all died on the way, and only four remained and made it to land. They set fire to the boats they came on and as they incorporated themselves into the Silencian population, millions more died. The several dozens remaining declared themselves Gods and fled into the mountains, only to be discovered nearly a century later by the Orsk Federation. Silencio collapsed, utterly and completely, and the land became inhabitable, overrun by plants, weeds, and rabid animals. On Del Sacarmo, which was still dry and dusty from the sandstorms that plagued them almost a thousand years ago, received the refugees with open arms, only to kill three-quarters of the population. Only those in the North survived, quarantining themselves. The Orsk Federation received the disease via shipments from Santa Marino, and only went into lockdown after half of the population had been killed. Sometime during this the disease makes its way to Marricopra, where it kills King Jimmy the Nineteenth (and last), sending the Kingdom into upheaval. By 1896 the whole world is in lockdown, save for Odorslat, which can't sustain itself very well and goes to war. Saldon and Skelmrelm begin a decades-long war over the general control of Odorslat, which is slowly starving to death. Skelmrelm decides to send all of its scientists to the Central Archipelago, and other countries follow suit. The Shrine of the Great Star Lobster becomes a giant lab, with everyone working according to their own time zone schedule so work is always being done. In 1897 a vaccine is created by a team of Skelmish, Altarian, and Sevdroleti scientists. By 1901, the vaccine is distributed worldwide and rebuilding begins. Until the Second End of the World comes. == The Second Apocalypse: 1906 == For a land inhabited by a religious group whose only claim to fame was that they started fires incessantly, there was only one Fire War. There were 12 - exactly twelve, and three were children - members of the Northern Order left. They lived a little North of the We Hate Fire Hospital, in tents, and obsessively lit up random patches of desert. Every year they got more and more mad at the financial support lent to the Southern Order and those who defected from the North, until they were all positively boiling with anger and in 1906 set fire to the capital of Gondolinius. Gondolinius assumed it was Marricopra - as they were prone to do, after the Seventy-Three-and-A-Half-Years War - and declared war on the very weakened kingdom. And then it happened. The fires, as it turned out, were ''still'' full of fireplague - somehow - and within a week both Gondolinius and Marricopra had a full-fledged outbreak on their hands. Gondolinius gave Marricopra a half-hearted apology and then returned to declare war on the Northern Order. But there were only 12 in the Order, and Gondolinius was still angry and so turned on itself and the Southern Order allies in Marricopra. So began the Fire Wars, with the Southern Order lighting anything aflame that stood in their path. At one point, they appeared to be gaining the upper hand, but then half of them came down with the newest Lacertiliitis-fireplague mutation. Though much of the world was vaccinated, the vaccine only worked on the 1895 strain, and those who had had Lizard Pox previously only had a 3-in-5 chance of recovery. From Marricopra the new strain spread to Altar, then to Ashmanschkra. From Gondolinius it went to Gusmoas, Santa Marino, and then to Seseco. Nowhere was safe anymore: the heat couldn't melt the diseased cells, and the cold couldn't kill them. The Fire Wars became an absolute farce, with no real end to them after the Gondolinian Emperor died of the plague. The Order was considered once and for all extinct, though it was rumored that members were still strewn worldwide, lighting fires in secret. Altar was so crippled by the plague and war effort that they consented to being owned by Ashmanschkra for a time. However, the Ashmanschkran government finally collapsed, for once and for all, ruined by internal fighting and the overabundance of Greeg lizards. Sevdrolet was finally overrun by the CoN, but then they all got sick. Sevdrolet had no official government after they all died of the plague, and the CoN retreated into itself, eventually being renamed the HPN. The Odorslatian governments survived; however, both were severely weakened and broke out into a few civil wars that all ended in painful deaths for all parties involved. Gusmoas continued to have no contact with the outside world, becoming increasingly more superstitious and oddly religious, founding the Church of the Party People in the Trees. The Basilica of the Treehouse was built on the ruins of the Palace of Tressene. The mountain people built a massive temple to their founders, which is actually quite beautiful - adorned with intricate carvings, reflecting pools, and floating candles, etc - that still stands today. They call it the First Wonder of the Modern World, and honestly, who can dispute that? Seseco had... problems (see: South Seseco). Oralotzo was almost completely wiped out, but a few thousand survived. They decided to work on re-fertilizing their soil, and only had contact with Skelmrelm. And the Kingdom of Marricopra, ruled by King Bantramus II, finally collapsed. With that ended the world's Second Age, and in 1920, Skelmrelm declared that the Second Apocalypse was over. So began the Third Age.

Please improve the article for this.'' They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya. Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == ''Main Article: [[Arachus Betznel]]'' They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate the Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and while Eddenarah had the upper hand at first, the Lobsterites gradually improved. When they unified under the name Children of Nephrops then they routed Eddenarah off of the islands. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == ''Main Article: [[Dark Ages]]'' Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish were the Children of Nephrops (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Children of Nephrops (CoN) just to say "HA!" The CoN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The CoN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the CoN's capital. The CoN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The CoN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The CoN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the CoN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the CoN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the CoN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the CoN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the CoN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. South Seseco is also a place of many inventions, the [[Traffic Signal]] (1872, [[Saint Vennes]], [[Deprivique]]), [[Printing Press]] (1450, [[Burges]], [[Grand Duchy of Burges]]) and [[Controlled Access Motorway]] (1913, [[Kvev]], [[Tornobyl]]) were all invented here. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chyeve]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. The two sides united in 1550 to form the Chkyeb Uniate. Expansion continued eastward. In 1620 a civil war began. ==== The Jenois War of 1620 ==== Jenois was an exclave of people who remained in the Mountain Culture. They called themselves Kruchtevs (a common term used to refer to them in a negative light was "Crookies") and their capital was [[Kauter]]. [[Jenois|Jenois City]], as we know it today was an orsk catholic outpost that spoke Letique. The Kruchtevs were under severe penal laws, below is a basic rundown: * Crookies may not buy land unless the land had been owned by another Crookie. * Crookies may not go to school. * Crookies could not practice religion. * Crookies may only speak Letique. * Crookies may not possess anything that could be used to defend themselves * A maximum of one shop could be opened by a Crookie in any one town. * Crookies could only shop at places owned by Crookies. * Crookies could not ride carriages or own horses. * So on, So forth The first "Crookie Uprising" was actually in 1590 but it failed miserably and half of [[Kauter]] was burned to the ground. In 1620, with help from the [[Tornobyl Arms Association]] they were able to start a revolution in Kauter. The surrounding area was quickly captured and the [[Kruchtev Union]] was declared. They were followed by Deprivique, a region also descriminated against because of their Vizantian Catholic faith. Together the two new nations took over everything east of the Chkyiv Mountains. At home, the Uniate was struggling to keep the peace as a new disease called "Crookpox" (named so because many believed it was a consequence of discriminating against the Kruchtevs) was running rampant throughout the country. The [[Kruchtev Union]], [[Deprivique Republic]] and [[Letoque State]] (Puppet of Deprivique) were given fully recognised independance. ==== Reunited ==== In 1720, Letoque joined Deprivique to create the [[Holy Vizantian Union]]. The [[Kruchtev Union]] united with the [[City State of Tornve]] to create the [[New Kruchtev State]]. In 1722 the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] reunited with the [[Verst Empire]] and in 1723 a war began. ==== War of Letoque (1723 - 1770) ==== On the 3rd September 1723 the 2nd Chkyeb Union declared war on the [[Holy Vizantian Union]] and the [[New Kruchtev State]]. At first, their attack was strong, they took over Tornve and many mountanious regions. But then winter hit. The counteroffensive was described by a verst survivor as "Fast and sharp". They mainly attacked at nigh tand in small numbers. The Verst army was pushed all the way back to Verst. By then Tornobyl joined the war and more reinforcements were coming from allied nations. The war went on like this for 47 years. Then they decided they would better just unite, lest lose anymore lives. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the east (1530): The wast was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Let's start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting each other. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. Deprivique natives originated from somewhere along the [[Vizantus Strait]]. They left their homeland of Dovranland due to a war with some neighboring power. We don't know how long ago this was, but best historians estimate that it was during the Post Flood era. [[File:0e5138d4-7ec9-4f38-9982-3b7a8d3af6d5.jpg|center|thumb|Mural in Petersport depicting the natives of Deprivique leaving their homeland circa 1198]]Deprivique was two kingdoms, the Grand Duchy of Hallem and the Kingdom of Leynes (now Petersport). They united in 748 to form the [[Deprivique Union]]. They were invaded by their neighbour, [[Letoque]] to the north ~912 during the [[Letoque Conquests]]. While they were independant not much notable happened. ===== Jenois ===== Today [[Jenois]] is a disputed canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] (Officially it is part of the canton [[Letoque Jenois]]) It does not have a very unique culture at all, they are basically just people from the Chkyiv Mountains who emmigrated west and met the Letoque people. Something that is notable about them is that they were hit incredibly hard during the Lacertiliitis. Almost three quarters of their population died, half of the remaining emmigrated. The city of Jenois was almost empty by 1900. They repopulated at very impressive rates, and today the region has a population of 1.4 Million. ===== Letoque ===== Letoque is and always was the dominant power in the West. The people of Letoque (Letiquain)'s origins are unknown but we think they came from the same place as the Tornoblites. The capital of Letoque is [[Saint Vennes]]. It is the second most populous canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] but has no city over one million in population. Over it's history Letoque has had a very unique take on land, similar to that of the Russian Empire. This encouraged people to spread out which is why they are significantly less dense than the other cantons. Letoque is home to Jenois, a disputed canton in it's east. Letoque lost land and was eventually destroyed in the [[Letoque Wars]] which lasted from 1610 - 1670 and main belligrents were the Verst Empire and Grand Duchy of Burges (GDB seceded from the Chkyeb Uniate in 1620). ==== Summary ==== South Seseco has had a history of civil wars, disease and violent wars, however it has also had times of prosperity. The "Seseco Golden Age" was the time from 1723 - 1803 both started and ended by war, but during which there was no fighting and instead inventions, discoveries and industrialisation. == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the CoN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The CoN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the [[Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame]] of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the [[The One and Only Everlasting Flame|Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame]], which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the CoN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == For those of you who are too lazy to read: basically the three powers of the Centrius Basin were at war off and on for 73 (and a quarter!) years. This was the last major war of this type, and ended with the CoN regaining control of the islands (for now...). In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the CoN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in late 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the CoN capital, while the CoN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). After half a year of this, all sides realized that this type of warfare was entirely unsustainable, and called a year-and-a-half ceasefire to build up their resources. In 1304 AY, Marricopra launched an assault on Centrius, and held and defended the island for ten years. The CoN was too busy rebuilding its capital for what was at least the third time, and so it was no difficulty for Marricopra to hold back the meager Ashmanschkri army, until 1314, when the CoN rejoined the battle, heading straight for the Marricopran capital. It was the worst destruction the area had seen since the Flood. Marricopra immediately moved backwards to defend their capital, and while the CoN-Marricopra conflict went on in what remained of the Valley of Pryoriya, Ashmanschkra took the islands. Marricopra eventually pushed back the CoN to the far East. The loss from this set of fighting sparked another ceasefire, this one lasting four and a half years. This truce was broken by the CoN, who made their first stab at Ashmanschkra. This time it was successful, and they officially owned the Ashmanschrki army (Sevdrolet refused to join this war. This created a rift in the country, but more on this later) for a time. However, the Army of Ashmanschkra the Inevitable refused to be owned by any other faction, and rebelled against the CoN generals, which put a slight dent in the CoN army, but mostly distracted them from the Marricopra 1326 invasion of Centrius. Marricopra owned the islands for another 5 years, in which the CoN ''and'' Ashmanschkra banded together (ironically) to shove them out, but the Marricopran army was so large they couldn't manage this until 1332, and then Ashmanschkra turned on the CoN, and they fought it out for a few years while Marricopra went back to rebuilding and making poisons from the lizards in the only national reserve, which was overhunted anyway. The longest ceasefire was from 1336-1343, after which Marricopra and the CoN simultaneously pulled support from the Order (both North and South). Ashmanschkra admitted defeat and decided to focus on its quickly worsening relations with the pacifist Sevdrolet. Once the Order got involved, almost everything within view was burned to the ground, Centrius became so inhabitable everyone wondered why they still fought over it, and King Vilassey of Marricopra died in battle, leaving no heirs but his niece, Nichra, who became the first Queen of Marricopra. She had little to no popular support, as she was a woman, but proved to be a brilliant strategist and brought Marricopra to an almost decisive victory at the Fourty-Fifth Battle of Great Nephrops Island, until the southern Order turned on them and Marricopra surrendered and shut its doors to the world. The CoN claimed Centrius, renamed it the Grand Lobster Islands, and the Order went home. In 1374, the Treaty of the Lobsterites was signed (grudgingly) by CoN general Parsley and Queen Nichra, who was at the very least lauded for her dignity in the face of such a crushing defeat. == The Fireplague Epidemic: 1406-1455 == The disease technically began spreading in 1402, but given the slowness of travel at the time, it didn't spread beyond the Great and True (Northern) Order until 1406. The One and Only Everlasting Flame apparently had microbes in them. Harmful ones. And after centuries of humans tending to the fire and its odd microbiome, they latched onto the Arch-Priests, and spread throughout the Mocze Desert's tent cities. It began with the Chief Arch-Priest, Bengellus, burning with a 106 degree fever. The next day, all four other Arch-Priests woke up with the same fever, and Bengellus broke out in hives said to burn "as if the Eternal Fire had itself showered its infernal sparks upon the skin." On the third day, Bengellus began vomiting blood. On the fourth, he died. The four remaining Arch-Priests all exhibited the same symptoms, but not within the same time frame. Hibriz died the day the boils appeared; Porops had a fever for a week and then got the boils and coughed blood (and died) all on the same day; Caprokcil only ever had boils, which lasted a week and a half and then he died with no warning; and Nezrel had a fever for two days, boils for a week and a half, and eventually recovered with only some light scarring. From Nezrel and the other four's caretakers, the disease spread across Mocze without warning and with no cure. Only a quarter of the Northern Order survives, and they start lighting fires in what is by then proto-Gondolinius, which spreads the disease through the southern Order like wildfire, and across the ocean to Marricopra via merchant ships. Marricopra gladly passes this on to the CoN and Ashmansckra via Altar (which has begun to rebel). All the guards on Great Nephrops Island die from the disease, but no one dares go replace them for fear of becoming infected themselves. Centrius goes unclaimed - it is during this time that Sevdrolet goes and unofficially names it the Central Archipelago, and the name sticks. The disease is sent north to Odorslat, but very few die as the cold climate cannot sustain the archaea-bacteria [''and yes, I'm basing the vaguely scientific nature of fireplague off of my 7th grade science class'']. What little of the disease can spread makes its way to Del Sacarmo/KoPWARToD, where it eventually dies out but destabilizes the colonial government enough for a complete overhaul, leaving the native [[Oralotzo|Oralians]] to kill the government and begin to rule themselves. After killing about a fifth of the Marricopran population (including the monarch, but they had a direct heir), more than half of Mocze, and a sixth of the rest of the world, the disease eventually dies down in 1455, as the population had naturally immunized itself, save for a few sparse outbreaks in remote areas. == The War of the Chicken Pie: 1507-1509 == ''Main Article: [[War of the Chicken Pie]]'' In 1507 AY, what remained of the KoPWARToD (a small scrap of land on Seseco; now Hakha Rakhine) held the First (and only) International Baking Competition, inviting famous bakers worldwide. Among them were Gondolinius's Oragor Mentaylis, who owned the World's Largest Bakery (and nobody dared fight him on that); Sevdrolet's Jimalangang Kobrob; and the KoPWARToD's Ercal Bogefayal, whose alliance was to the Rakhine rebellion brewing up north. Upon his winning the competition, the judges had no idea what country to award the top prize to, and so (as is, of course, usual) war was declared between the KoPWARToD and Hakha Rakhine. Marricopra threw themselves into the war, angry over the loss of Ashmanschkra and Centrius centuries before (and from getting last place in the competition), and led by Queen Ingelle "the Mad." They quickly drew out after the mysterious death of Ingelle and the ascension of King Billy Bob the Sixth, who gave the KoPWARToD several million dollars in reparations and an apology letter. What remained of the Northern Order finally wiped themselves out by throwing themselves and their disease-ridden bodies into the war. This ended with the Treaty of the Kitchen, the formation of Hakha Rakhine and the final dissolution of the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and the subsequent breakout of fireplague across Seseco. == The Second Fireplague Epidemic: 1509-1576 == The Seseco epidemic ended within a few months (see: the first fireplague epidemic and how that worked on Odorslat), but spread back south to Mocze via merchants from Santa Marino and then to Gondolinius, who sent diseased persons to Silencio and Marricopra out of spite (remember - they had their beginnings as religious fanatics). The two almost declared war in return, but then half of their armies fell ill and they decided otherwise. This epidemic went off and on for the next seventy years, with each breakout having epicenters in oddly diverse places, among them being the new Hakha Rakhine, the southernmost 2 blocks of a city in Odorslat, and Croissant Island. This epidemic ended with the Blizzard to End All Blizzards, which lasted exactly 3 days but was enough to kill the archaea-bacteria worldwide. The disease was confined to the We Hate Fire Quarantine Hospital, which was set up in the Mocze desert over the original site of the fire to ensure no one lighted it again. I would say there was peace from here on out, but there isn't, because this was when I remembered that tectonic plates were a thing. == The Split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet: 1599 and a couple years after that == The large, desert-y island of Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet, named after the two people groups that lived there, was situated on a fault line that became more precarious with each year after the Flood, until it finally broke apart during an earthquake and tsunami just south of the Central Archipelago, creating an event known as the Mini-Flood. The country officially became two (it had been threatening to become so for a while), with Ashmanschkra becoming the war peoples of the west, eagerly helping Altar break from Marricopra, though the Altarians themselves didn't care too much as Marricopra provided financial support. Sevdrolet was a nation of pacifists, and remained strictly neutral in all the Central Basin conflicts, though it formed close ties with the CoN. They became known for their art, and hated being invaded. However, seeing as they had no army, this happened over and over despite their declaring independence and creating more and more statues of famous Sevdroletis, which no one cared to take down as they actually looked quite good. The world began to be split over "do you support Ashmanschkra or Sevdrolet?" but as neither nation had the patience to fight the other, it all came to naught and everyone stopped caring, because the islands had moved into such a location to be perfect for beach vacations and millions flooded there. == The Economic Collapse of 1684 == After a little less than a century of relative-but-not-really peace, war in Skelmrelm completely demolished the economy of said country, bringing upon general economic collapse worldwide, as just about everyone depended on Skelmrelm for one reason or another. Does this name sound unfamiliar? Odorslat had, during this time, undergone yet another civil war that led to its renaming. The citizens were relieved that they were at least not called Knitted-Socks-ians. Skelmrelm during this time had moved past Marricopra in terms of GDP (and, in some areas, development) and become the new world epicenter, especially for the north. Gondolinius still considered Marricopra their main provider, however, and Silencio found the Kingdom easier to access. However, whatever petty disputes they had became unimportant in the face of total annihilation of all they'd worked for. However, with the discovery of oil deposits on Sevdrolet, the world economy slowly rebuilt as nations focused southward, and then back North after the Skelmrelm war ended. By 1690, the world economy had generally stabilized. == The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat == This is why the mountains have two main ranges. However, though the epicenter of this was in the mountains, aftershocks were so strong in the capital (on that bay just south of them) that it was completely demolished. This created a political split over who should rule where and how they should rebuild, and effectively ended the Republic of Odorslat as it was known. War broke out over the ruins of Odorslat-Priyoria, ending with the Treaty of What's Left of Priyoriya that split the country in four: Skelmrelm, the Republic of Saldon, the Kingdom of the Remnant, and the [[Spire Realm]]. The Kingdom of the Remnant was basically a puppet state of both Saldon and Skelmrelm, but at different times, seeing as it was located on the ruins of Priyoriya and only populated by a few thousand, mostly scholars and archaeologists there to study and preserve what was left of the city. Odorslat once again was no longer a world power, and Silencio began to compete with Marricopra for the title of highest GDP, until the 1794 Marricopran Revolution (see: [[The We're Sick of King Salamandario Revolution]]), after which the country turned inward to sort out its own problems. By 1799, the world was caught in a precarious balance between Skelmrelm and Silencio, as they had no access to Marricopra's resources (except for Sevdrolet, which the Kingdom just couldn't ignore). This resulted in a slight dip in the economy ~1800, but it eventually stabilized as Silencio began to compensate, and finally Marricopra (which had at last rid itself of Altar) reentered the world, about half the size it had been before. == Lacertiliitis: 1837-1850 == The disease began among the thousands of lizard species found at Great Lacertilia National Park. Still no one knows exactly which species spread it to humans, but the story goes like this: shopowner Tylline Tortatolus and his family visited the park in Firbicus 1837, and three weeks after returning, his wife died. Within the next two days, both of his children complained of pain in their mouth, throat, and stomach. Two days later, they died. Tylline lasted long enough to tell his neighbors of the strange occurrence, and then died in the home of musician Vollus Senddarry. The disease spread from the Senddarry household across the small town of Markpinne. The disease made it via caravan to the capital, and spread quickly through the population there. Then-Queen Nichra III soon realized what was happening and enforced a quarantine in the northeast part of the city, but not before boats carrying timber - the country's main resource - had reached Saldon, Gondolinius, and Oralotzo, spreading the disease there too. Soon testing was performed in the King Jimmy Central Hospital, and it was found that the disease turned one's saliva to hydrochloric acid. Scientists worldwide set to work creating a vaccine, but the most they could do was prevent death, though not entirely. Certain anomalies were found in the poorer parts of the city, where most of the population had already gone through a bout of Lizard Pox, a non-fatal disease spread by the Greeg lizard. Those who had already had the Pox were naturally immune to the disease - named Lacertiliitis after the park where it originated - and so many were hired on as doctors or even merely recipients of tests. They were paid by the government for their trouble, and often hired and paid ridiculous amounts of money to take over positions unstaffed because of the epidemic. Throughout the rest of the world scientists worked aggressively on creating a vaccine, or, in the case of Ashmanschkra, spreading Lizard Pox to as many citizens as possible. Because of this, most of the population had a natural immunity to Lacertiliitis by 1848. It is considered one of the most effective public health initiatives to date. Saldon and Skelmrelm teamed up to create a semi-effective vaccine, which forced out the virus by the second day, often leaving people on the brink of death but at least alive. They took to spreading numbing shots among their population, which at least prevented the pain caused from the acidic saliva. The vaccine was spread with the Kingdom of the Remnant, which consented to being absorbed into Skelmrelm, but the Spire Realm told themselves they could "handle this." They were all dead in three weeks. Gondolinius learned to work with the disease, and the hot climate created its first mutation, spread by melted cells. This resulted in a burning sensation throughout the body, which the Southern Order (now a strong theo-political presence in the area) promoted as a religious experience, not knowing how deadly the disease was. Lacertiliitis and the "Fire of the Heavens" mutation spread even more rapidly throughout Gondolinius and eventually to the abandoned We Hate Fire Hospital, which still had the remains of fireplague all over it. The Imperialist Party of Gondolinius set up an initiative to promote the quarantining of sick individuals. The Southern Order fought back against this relentlessly, creating a split in the general population over whether or not the "Fire of the Heavens" phenomena was a religious experience or a serious medical condition. Those who considered it religious were eventually put in a mental hospital during the Second Apocalypse, and the rest ran away to the desert. That aside, the disease died out in the urban parts of Gondolinius, but thrived in the rural areas around the Fireplague hospital, which created it's own problem, but more on that later... In the CoN, where the disease was spread from Marricopra via Sevdrolet and the oilfield workers there, the disease also mutated, creating something similar to the "Fire of the Heavens" bacteria, but instead causing only the skin to burn and dry out. This version wasn't completely fatal, even though Lizard Pox wasn't prevalent among the CoN. It was thought that the melting of the cells in the unceasing heat lessened the effects, but the disease was eradicated in 1845 due to a spike in heat and a drought, and so was never able to be studied. By 1850, the disease had calmed down worldwide (except for Gondolinius, but that's next). == Lacertiliitis-Fireplague Meltdown: 1895-1901 == The worst pandemic known to mankind. It began in what was renamed the Great Imperial Quarantine Hospital in central Gondolinius (the site has once again been abandoned, and is no longer owned by the country), where the archaea-bacteria known as fireplague had lain dormant on all the abandoned tools, beds, and especially in the indent in the floor that had once been the One and Only Everlasting Flame. As Lacertiliitis patients flooded in, using all the infected equipment and lying in the fireplague-infested beds, the two diseases began to combine, resulting in the first case of what was known, rather creatively, as "Lacertiliitis-fireplague." The first recorded patient was Appap Nipzap, a dockworker, of southern Gondolinius. He first reported a 106-degree fever - the universal signal of fireplague - and the next day his skin turned red, and he was said to claim it "burned worse than the Fire of the Heavens" (a disease he had, at first, survived). Three days after first reporting a fever, the red receded, turning into small boils that bled. After five days he appeared to be recovering, until he reported the signifying mouth-esophagus-stomach pain that came with Lacertiliitis. After a week, he finally coughed up blood and died. The new mutation spread throughout the hospital faster than even the Fire of the Heavens, apparently being more contagious than any previous strain (spread via touch), leaving only two survivors - very pregnant women - who had a strange natural immunity. Lacertiliitis-fireplague spread slowly south and then trickled through the poorer, non-immune southern Gondolinius population. Before the Gondolinian government could figure out what was happening, thousands of carriers, sick, and healthy alike had boarded boats to Gusmoas and Oralotzo, one of the world's least populated areas. This mass exodus became the downfall of Imperial Gondolinius, but not quite yet. The sick aboard the Gusmoas-bound boats all died on the way, and only four remained and made it to land. They set fire to the boats they came on and as they incorporated themselves into the Silencian population, millions more died. The several dozens remaining declared themselves Gods and fled into the mountains, only to be discovered nearly a century later by the Orsk Federation. Silencio collapsed, utterly and completely, and the land became inhabitable, overrun by plants, weeds, and rabid animals. On Del Sacarmo, which was still dry and dusty from the sandstorms that plagued them almost a thousand years ago, received the refugees with open arms, only to kill three-quarters of the population. Only those in the North survived, quarantining themselves. The Orsk Federation received the disease via shipments from Santa Marino, and only went into lockdown after half of the population had been killed. Sometime during this the disease makes its way to Marricopra, where it kills King Jimmy the Nineteenth (and last), sending the Kingdom into upheaval. By 1896 the whole world is in lockdown, save for Odorslat, which can't sustain itself very well and goes to war. Saldon and Skelmrelm begin a decades-long war over the general control of Odorslat, which is slowly starving to death. Skelmrelm decides to send all of its scientists to the Central Archipelago, and other countries follow suit. The Shrine of the Great Star Lobster becomes a giant lab, with everyone working according to their own time zone schedule so work is always being done. In 1897 a vaccine is created by a team of Skelmish, Altarian, and Sevdroleti scientists. By 1901, the vaccine is distributed worldwide and rebuilding begins. Until the Second End of the World comes. == The Second Apocalypse: 1906 == For a land inhabited by a religious group whose only claim to fame was that they started fires incessantly, there was only one Fire War. There were 12 - exactly twelve, and three were children - members of the Northern Order left. They lived a little North of the We Hate Fire Hospital, in tents, and obsessively lit up random patches of desert. Every year they got more and more mad at the financial support lent to the Southern Order and those who defected from the North, until they were all positively boiling with anger and in 1906 set fire to the capital of Gondolinius. Gondolinius assumed it was Marricopra - as they were prone to do, after the Seventy-Three-and-A-Half-Years War - and declared war on the very weakened kingdom. And then it happened. The fires, as it turned out, were ''still'' full of fireplague - somehow - and within a week both Gondolinius and Marricopra had a full-fledged outbreak on their hands. Gondolinius gave Marricopra a half-hearted apology and then returned to declare war on the Northern Order. But there were only 12 in the Order, and Gondolinius was still angry and so turned on itself and the Southern Order allies in Marricopra. So began the Fire Wars, with the Southern Order lighting anything aflame that stood in their path. At one point, they appeared to be gaining the upper hand, but then half of them came down with the newest Lacertiliitis-fireplague mutation. Though much of the world was vaccinated, the vaccine only worked on the 1895 strain, and those who had had Lizard Pox previously only had a 3-in-5 chance of recovery. From Marricopra the new strain spread to Altar, then to Ashmanschkra. From Gondolinius it went to Gusmoas, Santa Marino, and then to Seseco. Nowhere was safe anymore: the heat couldn't melt the diseased cells, and the cold couldn't kill them. The Fire Wars became an absolute farce, with no real end to them after the Gondolinian Emperor died of the plague. The Order was considered once and for all extinct, though it was rumored that members were still strewn worldwide, lighting fires in secret. Altar was so crippled by the plague and war effort that they consented to being owned by Ashmanschkra for a time. However, the Ashmanschkran government finally collapsed, for once and for all, ruined by internal fighting and the overabundance of Greeg lizards. Sevdrolet was finally overrun by the CoN, but then they all got sick. Sevdrolet had no official government after they all died of the plague, and the CoN retreated into itself, eventually being renamed the HPN. The Odorslatian governments survived; however, both were severely weakened and broke out into a few civil wars that all ended in painful deaths for all parties involved. Gusmoas continued to have no contact with the outside world, becoming increasingly more superstitious and oddly religious, founding the Church of the Party People in the Trees. The Basilica of the Treehouse was built on the ruins of the Palace of Tressene. The mountain people built a massive temple to their founders, which is actually quite beautiful - adorned with intricate carvings, reflecting pools, and floating candles, etc - that still stands today. They call it the First Wonder of the Modern World, and honestly, who can dispute that? Seseco had... problems (see: South Seseco). Oralotzo was almost completely wiped out, but a few thousand survived. They decided to work on re-fertilizing their soil, and only had contact with Skelmrelm. And the Kingdom of Marricopra, ruled by King Bantramus II, finally collapsed. With that ended the world's Second Age, and in 1920, Skelmrelm declared that the Second Apocalypse was over. So began the Third Age. [[Category:Meta]] ed50f52b1b35fb7f5f30ea6d8bb9442f2869d06e 0 74 771 743 2023-10-29T01:07:34Z wikitext text/x-wiki Odorslat is a continent in the northeast corner of the world.

At her school (which wasn't really a school since Eddenarah didn't have public education at the time) she got very bad grades and was known to have peculiar and bad behaviour. However, her just-as-mean parents didn't seem to mind. == Reign == At the age of 20, she succeeded the throne. However, she was largely unpopular. Her teacher attempted to flee the kingdom, and also warned others of Ingelle not being fit to be queen. Ingelle got mad at her and threw her in jail for defamation, and that was how she came to be known as Queen Ingelle "the mad". === "Golden" Age === In the golden age of her reign, she ordered many insane orders- for example, the [[Great Eddenaran Baking Competition of 1505]], which ended with many people dying and everyone in Eddenarah worn out from baking, and the Three Nock Coin Redesigning of 1507, where she ended up killing all who tried to redesign the Three Nock coin without putting her image and name on it. === War of the Chicken Pie === She was later significantly enraged when Marricopra ended up last place in the [[War of the Chicken Pie]] which contributed to her anger about the Marricopran Dark Age (which she mainly contributed to). Therefore, she declared war, fighting on her own side but not winning the war that much. She was very into the war, and was present screaming and fighting on every battle on the war front. However, this lead to her death, where on September 15th of 1508, she was found dead on the battlefield with a stab in her arm and [[fireplague]] symptoms. It is unknown what killed her. == Legacy == Ingelle is still known as "Ingelle the Mad" in Eddenarah today. "Ingelle" is an insult in Eddenaran, meaning that someone is dumb, crazy, and insane. She is also like something [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloody_Mary_(folklore) vaguely familiar].

However, unlike the Ultra-Orthodox (which require the Arch-Priests to set fires), the One and Only Everlasting Flame allows anyone to set fires. However, they restrict setting "true" fires to the Arch-Priests. == History == === Origins === The One and Only Order of the Everlasting Flame appeared on Mocze around 1290, three decades after the splitting off of the [[Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame]] around 1250. In a group of wars, the group soon gained control of all of Mocze and later wiping out the Ultra-Orthodox. === Those Wars === The group had forever a rivalry and hate against the Ultra-Orthodox, and neither would admit they are actual just two Pyric religions. After the Ultra-Orthodox helped [[Marricopra]] with spying on the [[Homaric Pact Nations|Children of Nephropism]], they allied with the Children. The Orthodox out of spite allied with [[Marricopra]], the Children's longtime enemy. == Notable Members == [[Bengellus]], Head Arch-Priest from 1360 to 1402, the first known contractor of [[fireplague]], which was started by the group. [[Nezrel]], an Arch-Priest from 1373 to 1437, the first known survivor of fireplague.

Please improve the article for this.'' They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya. Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == ''Main Article: [[Arachus Betznel]]'' They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate the Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and while Eddenarah had the upper hand at first, the Lobsterites gradually improved. When they unified under the name Children of Nephrops then they routed Eddenarah off of the islands. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == ''Main Article: [[Dark Ages]]'' Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish were the Children of Nephrops (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Children of Nephrops (CoN) just to say "HA!" The CoN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The CoN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the CoN's capital. The CoN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The CoN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The CoN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the CoN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the CoN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the CoN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the CoN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the CoN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. South Seseco is also a place of many inventions, the [[Traffic Signal]] (1872, [[Saint Vennes]], [[Deprivique]]), [[Printing Press]] (1450, [[Burges]], [[Grand Duchy of Burges]]) and [[Controlled Access Motorway]] (1913, [[Kvev]], [[Tornobyl]]) were all invented here. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chyeve]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. The two sides united in 1550 to form the Chkyeb Uniate. Expansion continued eastward. In 1620 a civil war began. ==== The Jenois War of 1620 ==== Jenois was an exclave of people who remained in the Mountain Culture. They called themselves Kruchtevs (a common term used to refer to them in a negative light was "Crookies") and their capital was [[Kauter]]. [[Jenois|Jenois City]], as we know it today was an orsk catholic outpost that spoke Letique. The Kruchtevs were under severe penal laws, below is a basic rundown: * Crookies may not buy land unless the land had been owned by another Crookie. * Crookies may not go to school. * Crookies could not practice religion. * Crookies may only speak Letique. * Crookies may not possess anything that could be used to defend themselves * A maximum of one shop could be opened by a Crookie in any one town. * Crookies could only shop at places owned by Crookies. * Crookies could not ride carriages or own horses. * So on, So forth The first "Crookie Uprising" was actually in 1590 but it failed miserably and half of [[Kauter]] was burned to the ground. In 1620, with help from the [[Tornobyl Arms Association]] they were able to start a revolution in Kauter. The surrounding area was quickly captured and the [[Kruchtev Union]] was declared. They were followed by Deprivique, a region also descriminated against because of their Vizantian Catholic faith. Together the two new nations took over everything east of the Chkyiv Mountains. At home, the Uniate was struggling to keep the peace as a new disease called "Crookpox" (named so because many believed it was a consequence of discriminating against the Kruchtevs) was running rampant throughout the country. The [[Kruchtev Union]], [[Deprivique Republic]] and [[Letoque State]] (Puppet of Deprivique) were given fully recognised independance. ==== Reunited ==== In 1720, Letoque joined Deprivique to create the [[Holy Vizantian Union]]. The [[Kruchtev Union]] united with the [[City State of Tornve]] to create the [[New Kruchtev State]]. In 1722 the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] reunited with the [[Verst Empire]] and in 1723 a war began. ==== War of Letoque (1723 - 1770) ==== On the 3rd September 1723 the 2nd Chkyeb Union declared war on the [[Holy Vizantian Union]] and the [[New Kruchtev State]]. At first, their attack was strong, they took over Tornve and many mountanious regions. But then winter hit. The counteroffensive was described by a Verst survivor as "Fast and sharp". They mainly attacked at nigh tand in small numbers. The Verst army was pushed all the way back to Verst. By then Tornobyl joined the war and more reinforcements were coming from allied nations. The war went on like this for 47 years. Then they decided they would better just unite, lest lose anymore lives. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the east (1530): The wast was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Let's start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting each other. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of Tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. Deprivique natives originated from somewhere along the [[Vizantus Strait]]. They left their homeland of Dovranland due to a war with some neighboring power. We don't know how long ago this was, but best historians estimate that it was during the Post Flood era. [[File:0e5138d4-7ec9-4f38-9982-3b7a8d3af6d5.jpg|center|thumb|Mural in Petersport depicting the natives of Deprivique leaving their homeland circa 1198]]Deprivique was two kingdoms, the Grand Duchy of Hallem and the Kingdom of Leynes (now Petersport). They united in 748 to form the [[Deprivique Union]]. They were invaded by their neighbour, [[Letoque]] to the north ~912 during the [[Letoque Conquests]]. While they were independant not much notable happened. ===== Jenois ===== Today [[Jenois]] is a disputed canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] (Officially it is part of the canton [[Letoque Jenois]]) It does not have a very unique culture at all, they are basically just people from the Chkyiv Mountains who emmigrated west and met the Letoque people. Something that is notable about them is that they were hit incredibly hard during the Lacertiliitis. Almost three quarters of their population died, half of the remaining emmigrated. The city of Jenois was almost empty by 1900. They repopulated at very impressive rates, and today the region has a population of 1.4 Million. ===== Letoque ===== Letoque is and always was the dominant power in the West. The people of Letoque (Letiquain)'s origins are unknown but we think they came from the same place as the Tornoblites. The capital of Letoque is [[Saint Vennes]]. It is the second most populous canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] but has no city over one million in population. Over it's history Letoque has had a very unique take on land, similar to that of the Russian Empire. This encouraged people to spread out which is why they are significantly less dense than the other cantons. Letoque is home to Jenois, a disputed canton in it's east. Letoque lost land and was eventually destroyed in the [[Letoque Wars]] which lasted from 1610 - 1670 and main belligrents were the Verst Empire and Grand Duchy of Burges (GDB seceded from the Chkyeb Uniate in 1620). ==== Summary ==== South Seseco has had a history of civil wars, disease and violent wars, however it has also had times of prosperity. The "Seseco Golden Age" was the time from 1723 - 1803 both started and ended by war, but during which there was no fighting and instead inventions, discoveries and industrialisation. == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the CoN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The CoN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the [[Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame]] of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the [[The One and Only Everlasting Flame|Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame]], which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the CoN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == For those of you who are too lazy to read: basically the three powers of the Centrius Basin were at war off and on for 73 (and a quarter!) years. This was the last major war of this type, and ended with the CoN regaining control of the islands (for now...). In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the CoN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in late 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the CoN capital, while the CoN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). After half a year of this, all sides realized that this type of warfare was entirely unsustainable, and called a year-and-a-half ceasefire to build up their resources. In 1304 AY, Marricopra launched an assault on Centrius, and held and defended the island for ten years. The CoN was too busy rebuilding its capital for what was at least the third time, and so it was no difficulty for Marricopra to hold back the meager Ashmanschkri army, until 1314, when the CoN rejoined the battle, heading straight for the Marricopran capital. It was the worst destruction the area had seen since the Flood. Marricopra immediately moved backwards to defend their capital, and while the CoN-Marricopra conflict went on in what remained of the Valley of Pryoriya, Ashmanschkra took the islands. Marricopra eventually pushed back the CoN to the far East. The loss from this set of fighting sparked another ceasefire, this one lasting four and a half years. This truce was broken by the CoN, who made their first stab at Ashmanschkra. This time it was successful, and they officially owned the Ashmanschrki army (Sevdrolet refused to join this war. This created a rift in the country, but more on this later) for a time. However, the Army of Ashmanschkra the Inevitable refused to be owned by any other faction, and rebelled against the CoN generals, which put a slight dent in the CoN army, but mostly distracted them from the Marricopra 1326 invasion of Centrius. Marricopra owned the islands for another 5 years, in which the CoN ''and'' Ashmanschkra banded together (ironically) to shove them out, but the Marricopran army was so large they couldn't manage this until 1332, and then Ashmanschkra turned on the CoN, and they fought it out for a few years while Marricopra went back to rebuilding and making poisons from the lizards in the only national reserve, which was overhunted anyway. The longest ceasefire was from 1336-1343, after which Marricopra and the CoN simultaneously pulled support from the Order (both North and South). Ashmanschkra admitted defeat and decided to focus on its quickly worsening relations with the pacifist Sevdrolet. Once the Order got involved, almost everything within view was burned to the ground, Centrius became so inhabitable everyone wondered why they still fought over it, and King Vilassey of Marricopra died in battle, leaving no heirs but his niece, Nichra, who became the first Queen of Marricopra. She had little to no popular support, as she was a woman, but proved to be a brilliant strategist and brought Marricopra to an almost decisive victory at the Fourty-Fifth Battle of Great Nephrops Island, until the southern Order turned on them and Marricopra surrendered and shut its doors to the world. The CoN claimed Centrius, renamed it the Grand Lobster Islands, and the Order went home. In 1374, the Treaty of the Lobsterites was signed (grudgingly) by CoN general Parsley and Queen Nichra, who was at the very least lauded for her dignity in the face of such a crushing defeat. == The Fireplague Epidemic: 1406-1455 == The disease technically began spreading in 1402, but given the slowness of travel at the time, it didn't spread beyond the Great and True (Northern) Order until 1406. The One and Only Everlasting Flame apparently had microbes in them. Harmful ones. And after centuries of humans tending to the fire and its odd microbiome, they latched onto the Arch-Priests, and spread throughout the Mocze Desert's tent cities. It began with the Chief Arch-Priest, Bengellus, burning with a 106 degree fever. The next day, all four other Arch-Priests woke up with the same fever, and Bengellus broke out in hives said to burn "as if the Eternal Fire had itself showered its infernal sparks upon the skin." On the third day, Bengellus began vomiting blood. On the fourth, he died. The four remaining Arch-Priests all exhibited the same symptoms, but not within the same time frame. Hibriz died the day the boils appeared; Porops had a fever for a week and then got the boils and coughed blood (and died) all on the same day; Caprokcil only ever had boils, which lasted a week and a half and then he died with no warning; and Nezrel had a fever for two days, boils for a week and a half, and eventually recovered with only some light scarring. From Nezrel and the other four's caretakers, the disease spread across Mocze without warning and with no cure. Only a quarter of the Northern Order survives, and they start lighting fires in what is by then proto-Gondolinius, which spreads the disease through the southern Order like wildfire, and across the ocean to Marricopra via merchant ships. Marricopra gladly passes this on to the CoN and Ashmansckra via Altar (which has begun to rebel). All the guards on Great Nephrops Island die from the disease, but no one dares go replace them for fear of becoming infected themselves. Centrius goes unclaimed - it is during this time that Sevdrolet goes and unofficially names it the Central Archipelago, and the name sticks. The disease is sent north to Odorslat, but very few die as the cold climate cannot sustain the archaea-bacteria [''and yes, I'm basing the vaguely scientific nature of fireplague off of my 7th grade science class'']. What little of the disease can spread makes its way to Del Sacarmo/KoPWARToD, where it eventually dies out but destabilizes the colonial government enough for a complete overhaul, leaving the native [[Oralotzo|Oralians]] to kill the government and begin to rule themselves. After killing about a fifth of the Marricopran population (including the monarch, but they had a direct heir), more than half of Mocze, and a sixth of the rest of the world, the disease eventually dies down in 1455, as the population had naturally immunized itself, save for a few sparse outbreaks in remote areas. == The War of the Chicken Pie: 1507-1509 == ''Main Article: [[War of the Chicken Pie]]'' In 1507 AY, what remained of the KoPWARToD (a small scrap of land on Seseco; now Hakha Rakhine) held the First (and only) International Baking Competition, inviting famous bakers worldwide. Among them were Gondolinius's Oragor Mentaylis, who owned the World's Largest Bakery (and nobody dared fight him on that); Sevdrolet's Jimalangang Kobrob; and the KoPWARToD's Ercal Bogefayal, whose alliance was to the Rakhine rebellion brewing up north. Upon his winning the competition, the judges had no idea what country to award the top prize to, and so (as is, of course, usual) war was declared between the KoPWARToD and Hakha Rakhine. Marricopra threw themselves into the war, angry over the loss of Ashmanschkra and Centrius centuries before (and from getting last place in the competition), and led by Queen Ingelle "the Mad." They quickly drew out after the mysterious death of Ingelle and the ascension of King Billy Bob the Sixth, who gave the KoPWARToD several million dollars in reparations and an apology letter. What remained of the Northern Order finally wiped themselves out by throwing themselves and their disease-ridden bodies into the war. This ended with the Treaty of the Kitchen, the formation of Hakha Rakhine and the final dissolution of the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and the subsequent breakout of fireplague across Seseco. == The Second Fireplague Epidemic: 1509-1576 == The Seseco epidemic ended within a few months (see: the first fireplague epidemic and how that worked on Odorslat), but spread back south to Mocze via merchants from Santa Marino and then to Gondolinius, who sent diseased persons to Silencio and Marricopra out of spite (remember - they had their beginnings as religious fanatics). The two almost declared war in return, but then half of their armies fell ill and they decided otherwise. This epidemic went off and on for the next seventy years, with each breakout having epicenters in oddly diverse places, among them being the new Hakha Rakhine, the southernmost 2 blocks of a city in Odorslat, and Croissant Island. This epidemic ended with the Blizzard to End All Blizzards, which lasted exactly 3 days but was enough to kill the archaea-bacteria worldwide. The disease was confined to the We Hate Fire Quarantine Hospital, which was set up in the Mocze desert over the original site of the fire to ensure no one lighted it again. I would say there was peace from here on out, but there isn't, because this was when I remembered that tectonic plates were a thing. == The Split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet: 1599 and a couple years after that == The large, desert-y island of Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet, named after the two people groups that lived there, was situated on a fault line that became more precarious with each year after the Flood, until it finally broke apart during an earthquake and tsunami just south of the Central Archipelago, creating an event known as the Mini-Flood. The country officially became two (it had been threatening to become so for a while), with Ashmanschkra becoming the war peoples of the west, eagerly helping Altar break from Marricopra, though the Altarians themselves didn't care too much as Marricopra provided financial support. Sevdrolet was a nation of pacifists, and remained strictly neutral in all the Central Basin conflicts, though it formed close ties with the CoN. They became known for their art, and hated being invaded. However, seeing as they had no army, this happened over and over despite their declaring independence and creating more and more statues of famous Sevdroletis, which no one cared to take down as they actually looked quite good. The world began to be split over "do you support Ashmanschkra or Sevdrolet?" but as neither nation had the patience to fight the other, it all came to naught and everyone stopped caring, because the islands had moved into such a location to be perfect for beach vacations and millions flooded there. == The Economic Collapse of 1684 == After a little less than a century of relative-but-not-really peace, war in Skelmrelm completely demolished the economy of said country, bringing upon general economic collapse worldwide, as just about everyone depended on Skelmrelm for one reason or another. Does this name sound unfamiliar? Odorslat had, during this time, undergone yet another civil war that led to its renaming. The citizens were relieved that they were at least not called Knitted-Socks-ians. Skelmrelm during this time had moved past Marricopra in terms of GDP (and, in some areas, development) and become the new world epicenter, especially for the north. Gondolinius still considered Marricopra their main provider, however, and Silencio found the Kingdom easier to access. However, whatever petty disputes they had became unimportant in the face of total annihilation of all they'd worked for. However, with the discovery of oil deposits on Sevdrolet, the world economy slowly rebuilt as nations focused southward, and then back North after the Skelmrelm war ended. By 1690, the world economy had generally stabilized. == The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat == This is why the mountains have two main ranges. However, though the epicenter of this was in the mountains, aftershocks were so strong in the capital (on that bay just south of them) that it was completely demolished. This created a political split over who should rule where and how they should rebuild, and effectively ended the Republic of Odorslat as it was known. War broke out over the ruins of Odorslat-Priyoria, ending with the Treaty of What's Left of Priyoriya that split the country in four: Skelmrelm, the Republic of Saldon, the Kingdom of the Remnant, and the [[Spire Realm]]. The Kingdom of the Remnant was basically a puppet state of both Saldon and Skelmrelm, but at different times, seeing as it was located on the ruins of Priyoriya and only populated by a few thousand, mostly scholars and archaeologists there to study and preserve what was left of the city. Odorslat once again was no longer a world power, and Silencio began to compete with Marricopra for the title of highest GDP, until the 1794 Marricopran Revolution (see: [[The We're Sick of King Salamandario Revolution]]), after which the country turned inward to sort out its own problems. By 1799, the world was caught in a precarious balance between Skelmrelm and Silencio, as they had no access to Marricopra's resources (except for Sevdrolet, which the Kingdom just couldn't ignore). This resulted in a slight dip in the economy ~1800, but it eventually stabilized as Silencio began to compensate, and finally Marricopra (which had at last rid itself of Altar) reentered the world, about half the size it had been before. == Lacertiliitis: 1837-1850 == The disease began among the thousands of lizard species found at Great Lacertilia National Park. Still no one knows exactly which species spread it to humans, but the story goes like this: shopowner Tylline Tortatolus and his family visited the park in Firbicus 1837, and three weeks after returning, his wife died. Within the next two days, both of his children complained of pain in their mouth, throat, and stomach. Two days later, they died. Tylline lasted long enough to tell his neighbors of the strange occurrence, and then died in the home of musician Vollus Senddarry. The disease spread from the Senddarry household across the small town of Markpinne. The disease made it via caravan to the capital, and spread quickly through the population there. Then-Queen Nichra III soon realized what was happening and enforced a quarantine in the northeast part of the city, but not before boats carrying timber - the country's main resource - had reached Saldon, Gondolinius, and Oralotzo, spreading the disease there too. Soon testing was performed in the King Jimmy Central Hospital, and it was found that the disease turned one's saliva to hydrochloric acid. Scientists worldwide set to work creating a vaccine, but the most they could do was prevent death, though not entirely. Certain anomalies were found in the poorer parts of the city, where most of the population had already gone through a bout of Lizard Pox, a non-fatal disease spread by the Greeg lizard. Those who had already had the Pox were naturally immune to the disease - named Lacertiliitis after the park where it originated - and so many were hired on as doctors or even merely recipients of tests. They were paid by the government for their trouble, and often hired and paid ridiculous amounts of money to take over positions unstaffed because of the epidemic. Throughout the rest of the world scientists worked aggressively on creating a vaccine, or, in the case of Ashmanschkra, spreading Lizard Pox to as many citizens as possible. Because of this, most of the population had a natural immunity to Lacertiliitis by 1848. It is considered one of the most effective public health initiatives to date. Saldon and Skelmrelm teamed up to create a semi-effective vaccine, which forced out the virus by the second day, often leaving people on the brink of death but at least alive. They took to spreading numbing shots among their population, which at least prevented the pain caused from the acidic saliva. The vaccine was spread with the Kingdom of the Remnant, which consented to being absorbed into Skelmrelm, but the Spire Realm told themselves they could "handle this." They were all dead in three weeks. Gondolinius learned to work with the disease, and the hot climate created its first mutation, spread by melted cells. This resulted in a burning sensation throughout the body, which the Southern Order (now a strong theo-political presence in the area) promoted as a religious experience, not knowing how deadly the disease was. Lacertiliitis and the "Fire of the Heavens" mutation spread even more rapidly throughout Gondolinius and eventually to the abandoned We Hate Fire Hospital, which still had the remains of fireplague all over it. The Imperialist Party of Gondolinius set up an initiative to promote the quarantining of sick individuals. The Southern Order fought back against this relentlessly, creating a split in the general population over whether or not the "Fire of the Heavens" phenomena was a religious experience or a serious medical condition. Those who considered it religious were eventually put in a mental hospital during the Second Apocalypse, and the rest ran away to the desert. That aside, the disease died out in the urban parts of Gondolinius, but thrived in the rural areas around the Fireplague hospital, which created it's own problem, but more on that later... In the CoN, where the disease was spread from Marricopra via Sevdrolet and the oilfield workers there, the disease also mutated, creating something similar to the "Fire of the Heavens" bacteria, but instead causing only the skin to burn and dry out. This version wasn't completely fatal, even though Lizard Pox wasn't prevalent among the CoN. It was thought that the melting of the cells in the unceasing heat lessened the effects, but the disease was eradicated in 1845 due to a spike in heat and a drought, and so was never able to be studied. By 1850, the disease had calmed down worldwide (except for Gondolinius, but that's next). == Lacertiliitis-Fireplague Meltdown: 1895-1901 == The worst pandemic known to mankind. It began in what was renamed the Great Imperial Quarantine Hospital in central Gondolinius (the site has once again been abandoned, and is no longer owned by the country), where the archaea-bacteria known as fireplague had lain dormant on all the abandoned tools, beds, and especially in the indent in the floor that had once been the One and Only Everlasting Flame. As Lacertiliitis patients flooded in, using all the infected equipment and lying in the fireplague-infested beds, the two diseases began to combine, resulting in the first case of what was known, rather creatively, as "Lacertiliitis-fireplague." The first recorded patient was Appap Nipzap, a dockworker, of southern Gondolinius. He first reported a 106-degree fever - the universal signal of fireplague - and the next day his skin turned red, and he was said to claim it "burned worse than the Fire of the Heavens" (a disease he had, at first, survived). Three days after first reporting a fever, the red receded, turning into small boils that bled. After five days he appeared to be recovering, until he reported the signifying mouth-esophagus-stomach pain that came with Lacertiliitis. After a week, he finally coughed up blood and died. The new mutation spread throughout the hospital faster than even the Fire of the Heavens, apparently being more contagious than any previous strain (spread via touch), leaving only two survivors - very pregnant women - who had a strange natural immunity. Lacertiliitis-fireplague spread slowly south and then trickled through the poorer, non-immune southern Gondolinius population. Before the Gondolinian government could figure out what was happening, thousands of carriers, sick, and healthy alike had boarded boats to Gusmoas and Oralotzo, one of the world's least populated areas. This mass exodus became the downfall of Imperial Gondolinius, but not quite yet. The sick aboard the Gusmoas-bound boats all died on the way, and only four remained and made it to land. They set fire to the boats they came on and as they incorporated themselves into the Silencian population, millions more died. The several dozens remaining declared themselves Gods and fled into the mountains, only to be discovered nearly a century later by the Orsk Federation. Silencio collapsed, utterly and completely, and the land became inhabitable, overrun by plants, weeds, and rabid animals. On Del Sacarmo, which was still dry and dusty from the sandstorms that plagued them almost a thousand years ago, received the refugees with open arms, only to kill three-quarters of the population. Only those in the North survived, quarantining themselves. The Orsk Federation received the disease via shipments from Santa Marino, and only went into lockdown after half of the population had been killed. Sometime during this the disease makes its way to Marricopra, where it kills King Jimmy the Nineteenth (and last), sending the Kingdom into upheaval. By 1896 the whole world is in lockdown, save for Odorslat, which can't sustain itself very well and goes to war. Saldon and Skelmrelm begin a decades-long war over the general control of Odorslat, which is slowly starving to death. Skelmrelm decides to send all of its scientists to the Central Archipelago, and other countries follow suit. The Shrine of the Great Star Lobster becomes a giant lab, with everyone working according to their own time zone schedule so work is always being done. In 1897 a vaccine is created by a team of Skelmish, Altarian, and Sevdroleti scientists. By 1901, the vaccine is distributed worldwide and rebuilding begins. Until the Second End of the World comes. == The Second Apocalypse: 1906 == For a land inhabited by a religious group whose only claim to fame was that they started fires incessantly, there was only one Fire War. There were 12 - exactly twelve, and three were children - members of the Northern Order left. They lived a little North of the We Hate Fire Hospital, in tents, and obsessively lit up random patches of desert. Every year they got more and more mad at the financial support lent to the Southern Order and those who defected from the North, until they were all positively boiling with anger and in 1906 set fire to the capital of Gondolinius. Gondolinius assumed it was Marricopra - as they were prone to do, after the Seventy-Three-and-A-Half-Years War - and declared war on the very weakened kingdom. And then it happened. The fires, as it turned out, were ''still'' full of fireplague - somehow - and within a week both Gondolinius and Marricopra had a full-fledged outbreak on their hands. Gondolinius gave Marricopra a half-hearted apology and then returned to declare war on the Northern Order. But there were only 12 in the Order, and Gondolinius was still angry and so turned on itself and the Southern Order allies in Marricopra. So began the Fire Wars, with the Southern Order lighting anything aflame that stood in their path. At one point, they appeared to be gaining the upper hand, but then half of them came down with the newest Lacertiliitis-fireplague mutation. Though much of the world was vaccinated, the vaccine only worked on the 1895 strain, and those who had had Lizard Pox previously only had a 3-in-5 chance of recovery. From Marricopra the new strain spread to Altar, then to Ashmanschkra. From Gondolinius it went to Gusmoas, Santa Marino, and then to Seseco. Nowhere was safe anymore: the heat couldn't melt the diseased cells, and the cold couldn't kill them. The Fire Wars became an absolute farce, with no real end to them after the Gondolinian Emperor died of the plague. The Order was considered once and for all extinct, though it was rumored that members were still strewn worldwide, lighting fires in secret. Altar was so crippled by the plague and war effort that they consented to being owned by Ashmanschkra for a time. However, the Ashmanschkran government finally collapsed, for once and for all, ruined by internal fighting and the overabundance of Greeg lizards. Sevdrolet was finally overrun by the CoN, but then they all got sick. Sevdrolet had no official government after they all died of the plague, and the CoN retreated into itself, eventually being renamed the HPN. The Odorslatian governments survived; however, both were severely weakened and broke out into a few civil wars that all ended in painful deaths for all parties involved. Gusmoas continued to have no contact with the outside world, becoming increasingly more superstitious and oddly religious, founding the Church of the Party People in the Trees. The Basilica of the Treehouse was built on the ruins of the Palace of Tressene. The mountain people built a massive temple to their founders, which is actually quite beautiful - adorned with intricate carvings, reflecting pools, and floating candles, etc - that still stands today. They call it the First Wonder of the Modern World, and honestly, who can dispute that? Seseco had... problems (see: South Seseco). Oralotzo was almost completely wiped out, but a few thousand survived. They decided to work on re-fertilizing their soil, and only had contact with Skelmrelm. And the Kingdom of Marricopra, ruled by King Bantramus II, finally collapsed. With that ended the world's Second Age, and in 1920, Skelmrelm declared that the Second Apocalypse was over. So began the Third Age.

Please improve the article for this.'' They say the world began in a place known as the Valley of Priyoriya. Long before the oceans rose, and the valleys shattered, it was the place that legends are built around: where ancient battles were fought, where long-gone heroes earned their titles, and where all of that was a bygone era, and prosperity reigned. They called it Eddenarah, a name meaning "the peace of home." But then came the Flood. == In the Very, Very, Very Beginning == The world was all one continent. Seseco, and Mocze, and places even as far away as what the fools of today call Northern Odorslat - all were bunched up together in one large landmass that records indicate was called "Pryr" - likely the precursor to Priyoriya. Scientists say humanity began on modern-day Mocze, but the legends tell of several great wars (and archaeology concurs that there were, at the very least, sharp, pointy things in the area) and in the end a large settlement in the Free Land of Marricopra, the remnant of a once-great Kingdom. The natives call the area Eddenarah, which brings us back to the legend. The Eddenarans speak of seven Great Wars, each more spectacularly gory than the last. Each was ended by its own Great Hero, but natives seem only to remember the first name of the last one: Machrannah, who apparently united the peoples of the area into one. Eddenaran tales tell of a great city sandwiched between the mountains of Odorslat and the Priyor Mountains - the area called the Valley of Priyoria. It was an almost horribly lush land, greatly conducive to the growing of all manner of plants, the breeding of all manner of animals, and the thriving of a civilization to rival all that came before and after... until disaster struck. == The Flood == The end of the world as Eddenarah knew it came in the form of a massive asteroid collision. It shattered the continents, created the Centrius Basin, and most importantly, made way for the greatest disaster then known to mankind: the Flood. The Hydropocalypse. Even worse, it split Eddenarah in two. The Priyor side, at least, stayed united, but the Odorslat mountains and a scrap of land there ended up on the north side of the channel created by the collision. So much land was lost. Mocze, a sacred land to the Order of the Everlasting Fire, drifted far away. The Order left soon after, on a large fleet of boats that no one ever heard from again. Seseco, along with a large amount of valuable materials, drifted even farther, and then split from Del Sacarmo, stranding the people there. The area of the collision filled with water, and was inhabitable for many centuries afterwards. == Post-Flood == All that is known of this time is chaos. Etchings in rocks show images of pillars of fire descending from the heavens, of great clouds of dust spreading across the land, and lots and lots of screaming stick figures. Many in Eddenarah would rather deny this time existed - they were, after all, the greatest power in the world; why ''shouldn't'' they have been able to cope with it? But then the dust cleared. The new coastlines were mapped. And Eddenarah began a new chapter of its history. == The Beginning of Known Time == ''Main Article: [[Arachus Betznel]]'' They created a statue of him, right in the middle of their city. Even today, it's still visible, if worn down. A man in a fluttery, sweeping cloak, standing atop a large clock, and pointing North, as if to acknowledge their brethren across the channel. The Father of Time. Sometimes merely Father Time. But to those who knew him best, he was merely Arachus Betznel, a man who made clocks and had the bright idea of deciding to designate the date of his birth as Year One, Day One. Soon family and friends adopted it, an uncle of his made a calendar, and 52 years after the Flood, Priyor-Eddenarah celebrated its first New Year's on the first day of the month of Adarus. The people declared Arachus their leader, and he and his time-making family set to work creating clocks, calendars, and an extensive written history of their city. And so Eddenarah prospered. == Whatever Happened to Odorslat? == The people of Odorslat - for that was when they named the area - became bitter. Of ''course'' those cursed Priyoriyans didn't attempt to make contact. Of ''course'' the Priyorians got the better side of the valley. Odorslatian Eddenarah became a weary, angry people. They accustomed themselves to the cold, but with great grumblings and murmurings. They hunted in the mountains above them, and there found their true calling: military. So Odorslat organized its armies, and they conquered the peoples in the mountains above them. They were an angry people, but they, too, thrived. == Interlude == One day they realized the Priyor mountains had moved, and they got mad. Then they realized this didn't really mean anything. Except for Jimmy. Because Jimmy now had to walk 5 miles between his house and his work. But nobody cared about Jimmy. == The People of the Lobster: circa 543 AY == Across the Vizantus Strait flourished a land of lobster-worshiping peoples. They had received the brunt of the collision, but came to accept it as the fate the Great Nephrops had handed them, and continued to serve him with fear, trembling, lemons, parsley, and butter sauce (as befits a lobster). The Lizard-fearing peoples of Eddenarah didn't like them, and so went to war over the Centrius Archipelago, because they both thought that inhabitable islands in the middle of a nearly circular sea made for a perfectly dramatic location for a shrine. The wars lasted several hundred years, and while Eddenarah had the upper hand at first, the Lobsterites gradually improved. When they unified under the name Children of Nephrops then they routed Eddenarah off of the islands. In year 543 AY (Arachus years), the Homaric Pact laid claim to the islands, built a giant shrine, and posted several hundred armed guards outside. Eddenarah took the hint, though they were very salty about it. == What We Mere Mortals Call the Dark Ages == ''Main Article: [[Dark Ages]]'' Between the 543 and 826 AY, the only nation that managed to flourish were the Children of Nephrops (they said this proved that Great Nephrops was superior to all other gods; the Eddenaran Delegation then sicced several thousand lizards on them and said they didn't do it). The people of Mocze became very religious; the people of Odorslat had so many civil wars it wasn't even funny (especially the War of the Fluffy Unicorns); Del Sacarmo over-farmed itself and suffered through exactly 12,391 sandstorms; Gusmoas flooded again and again and again; and Eddenarah had a problem by the name of Jimmy. == The Jimmy Rebellion == I will write about this later. == Marricopra Enters the Stage: 830-992 AY == In 830 AY, Eddenarah, restyled the Kingdom of Marricopra, and led by King Jimmy the 9th, invaded its entire continent, and then sent a large delegation to the Children of Nephrops (CoN) just to say "HA!" The CoN sent more troops to the Great Island of Nephrops, but Marricopra merely smiled at this. The new Kingdom sent delegations to Odorslat - then the Empire of the Knitted Socks. Odorslat didn't know what to think of this, and were at first very angry for how ''long'' it took Eddenarah to contact them, but now that Marricopra was offering money and access to warmer lands, the Empire jumped at the chance to create an alliance. Marricopra not-so-subtly hinted that they wanted the Knitted Socks troops, and the Empire took the bait, sending one hundred thousand soldiers south to what is today known as Altar. While preparing for an invasion of Centrius (which was at this point really just a matter of pride), Marricopra distracted everyone by sending most of ''their'' army to Seseco to help the long-gone Verst Empire with their civil war. As soon as this was over, they quickly jumped at the chance for an alliance, "borrowed" another hundred thousand troops, and set off for their grand invasion out of Altar. == Everyone Goes to War == (For reference, it is about 992 AY.) The Empire of the Knitted Socks (Odorslat) set their sights even farther northward but encountered impressive resistance from the people of Smiggity-smoogity. This started another war, which Marricopra did not care about. Del Sacarmo finally had the sense to make boats, restyle itself the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and set out for Seseco. They claimed a small plot of land on the coast and immediately began farming. The Verst Empire declared war, but the KoPWARToD set up a REALLY big sign that simply said "NO." Because Verst didn't really care about the land, they let them be. Mocze had a problem in that everyone there loved to light things on fire for No Good Reason, and so while there wasn't much habitable land to begin with, there was even less now. Right in the dead center of the continent was the barren headquarters of the Order of the Everlasting Flame, which wasn't strictly a country but no one dared touch it. Because if they did, they might just find their supplies mysteriously set aflame. Mocze became known as a land of barbarians - even more so than Odorslat - and so they all hunted and starved themselves nearly to extinction. Except for that one scrap of land in the North. They were too close to Seseco for anyone to care. Guzmoas was only barely recovering from the 33rd Flood of 993 AY when Marricopra sent some soldiers and resources and said, "knock yourself out." This created a small Marricopran-Guzmoan population that had an odd sense of patriotism for both countries, declared war on itself, and otherwise created a distraction for the world and themselves while Marricopra executed its grand plan. In 995 AY, Marricopran, Verst, and Odorslatan soldiers laid seige to the Great Island of Nephrops. The CoN responded with the full might of their army, while Marricopra called in favors to almost ''everyone'' (except for the Order). It was the bloodiest war since the Seventh Great War of Eddenarah, and nearly ended in stalemate, except that Marricopra finally let the Order help, and they set fire to the CoN's capital. The CoN surrendered, Marricopra celebrated by demolishing the Great Shrine, and Guzmoas only then realized that they had missed out on a "truly epic war," (according to Marricopran historian Aba Laba Baba). == The Golden Age of Almost Everyone: 1000-1206 AY == For the next two hundred years, Marricopra had control of the whole continent of Pryr, as well as Centrius, and the moderately sized desert-y island of Ustrusus. They turned their attention inward, building up their infrastructure, creating an education system, and actually stopping politicians from creating nonsense laws that did nothing but give them money. They also opened trade with the new nation of Tressene (which they pretended hadn't declared independence from them), gave financial support to Odorslat as it finally overthrew Smiggity-smoogity, and gave the Order some money for their trouble helping in the Really Big War. Odorslat, in the meantime, finally pushed their armies past the mountains to even colder terrain, and decided to call themselves the much more reasonable Grand Republic of Odorslat. They, too, built roads across their country, even tunneling through what had once been the forbidding mountains. The Verst Empire had its heyday, with lots of vaguely Russian-sounding Emperors who wielded Unlimited Power (mostly) for good. They also sowed the seeds of their own demise, but that's unimportant. Tressene basked in the glory of its newfound freedom and became known for hosting entirely too many parties (which proved detrimental to its economy not to far in the future), but with seemingly endless Marricopran support, they felt free to spend outrageous amounts of money on things such as the The Moon Looks Pretty Tonight, Why Don't We Have a Party? Festival, and the Party of the Year (a title which everyone tried to claim, but only the government-hosted ones really could). The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust - even they thrived on new, non-dusty soil. The CoN, meanwhile, sat and sulked on its own continent, wallowing in its misery and planning its revenge. == 1206 AY: The CoN Starts World War Three == On the 5th day of the month of Machrannah, one thousand, two hundred, and six years after Arachus made his calendar, the CoN very officially declared war on Marricopra, by way of a delegation of 60 (later known as, literally, the Delegation of the Sixty) and a very tasseled and calligraphied paper that, in essence, said: "you stole our land from us, so we're going to take it back, and if it means we have to kill all of yours and your allies' soldiers, then that's your problem." Marricopra responded by sending everyone of fighting age to Centrius, and they were locked in stalemate with the CoN for an entire year, until King Billy Bob the 3rd called on Odorslat for help, and they finally gained the advantage. For a time. However, the KoPWARToD had pity on the CoN, which had struggled for two centuries, and decided to side with them in the conflict. They didn't have a particularly large army, but they were very enthusiastic, and managed to push back the Marricopran-Odorslatian Alliance to the central island. Government entities considered calling on Tressene at almost the exact same time, but as the treasury of said nation was almost completely depleted, they "politely declined." To this day they insist so, though what they actually did was send a letter that said, in KoPWARToD style, "NO." Seseco was embroiled in its own conflict, both aided and abetted by the Order, and eventually abandoned by the Moczen fanatics in favor of what was now being called World War Three (whatever the first had been, no one knew, but everyone knew that at least pre-Flood the whole world had been at war at some point). This created a schism within the Order, as half wanted to support the CoN's more traditional approach to warfare, but the other half supported Marricopra as they were, after all, their distant cousins (this latter half became the precursors to Gondolinius). The two sides of the Order met at the Vizantus Strait, creating yet ''another'' stalemate. After two and a half years of the world's most pointless war, everyone gave up. Centrius was split between Marricopra and the CoN. The Order split Mocze in two and tried not to fight over it. == South Seseco == [[Seseco]], for most of it's history was fairly isolated. It's main powers were the many Norreik States and the [[Verst Empire]]. South Seseco is also a place of many inventions, the [[Traffic Signal]] (1872, [[Saint Vennes]], [[Deprivique]]), [[Printing Press]] (1450, [[Burges]], [[Grand Duchy of Burges]]) and [[Controlled Access Motorway]] (1913, [[Kvev]], [[Tornobyl]]) were all invented here. ==== The West ==== The most common legend about the formation of the [[Verst Empire]] is that a family emmigrated west from their native lands of [[Tornobyl]] to the vast, unclaimed tundra that was The North of South West [[Seseco]]. These lands were typically referred to as Chyeve meaning West of the [[Chkyiv]] (mountains). They built a small village on the coast of their new home, coincidentally close to a busy ship route. Since the Chyeve at this point was mainly unsettled the village was the perfect spot for a harbour. This shifted the main harbour for goods coming into South [[Seseco]] in the east from [[Lehaska]] to [[Early Verst]] (the name seems to have originated from the word Vestrem in Mountain Tongue, quite literally meaning "The Busy Harbour". We do not know why the mountain people had a specific word for this). This change halted [[Lehaska]]'s growth as a town and it's population has been on the decrease ever since. In the modern day, seeing as it is on a tri-border with [[Norreik]] and the [[Chyeve]] it is an unfavourable place to live. [[Early Verst]] would continue to grow at a great pace and so did it's kingdom, the Verst Empire that now controlled most of The North of South West [[Seseco]]. In the south another power was developing. The Grand Duchy of Burges's formation was a bit more violent. Six villages were located along the Burges Estuary and they never stopped fighting. These people who lived in the villages were probably natives but we can't be sure because people started moving west at this time. One village, Kantes built a harbour (this one came before [[Early Verst]]) and became an economic powerhouse. The other villages wanted in on this and built their own harbours. Eventually the estaury was so crowded that ships were hitting into eachother and crews of each were fighting with the others over right of way. The villages, at this point saw that fighting would only weaken them, so they joined together in 1480 to form the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] with Burges coming from the Old Fronien "Burnnionen Ges" meaning The City of Many Ports. The four further in harbours were demolished soon after. The two sides united in 1550 to form the Chkyeb Uniate. Expansion continued eastward. In 1620 a civil war began. ==== The Jenois War of 1620 ==== Jenois was an exclave of people who remained in the Mountain Culture. They called themselves Kruchtevs (a common term used to refer to them in a negative light was "Crookies") and their capital was [[Kauter]]. [[Jenois|Jenois City]], as we know it today was an orsk catholic outpost that spoke Letique. The Kruchtevs were under severe penal laws, below is a basic rundown: * Crookies may not buy land unless the land had been owned by another Crookie. * Crookies may not go to school. * Crookies could not practice religion. * Crookies may only speak Letique. * Crookies may not possess anything that could be used to defend themselves * A maximum of one shop could be opened by a Crookie in any one town. * Crookies could only shop at places owned by Crookies. * Crookies could not ride carriages or own horses. * So on, So forth The first "Crookie Uprising" was actually in 1590 but it failed miserably and half of [[Kauter]] was burned to the ground. In 1620, with help from the [[Tornobyl Arms Association]] they were able to start a revolution in Kauter. The surrounding area was quickly captured and the [[Kruchtev Union]] was declared. They were followed by Deprivique, a region also descriminated against because of their Vizantian Catholic faith. Together the two new nations took over everything east of the Chkyiv Mountains. At home, the Uniate was struggling to keep the peace as a new disease called "Crookpox" (named so because many believed it was a consequence of discriminating against the Kruchtevs) was running rampant throughout the country. The [[Kruchtev Union]], [[Deprivique Republic]] and [[Letoque State]] (Puppet of Deprivique) were given fully recognised independance. ==== Reunited ==== In 1720, Letoque joined Deprivique to create the [[Holy Vizantian Union]]. The [[Kruchtev Union]] united with the [[City State of Tornve]] to create the [[New Kruchtev State]]. In 1722 the [[Grand Duchy of Burges]] reunited with the [[Verst Empire]] and in 1723 a war began. ==== War of Letoque (1723 - 1770) ==== On the 3rd September 1723 the 2nd Chkyeb Union declared war on the [[Holy Vizantian Union]] and the [[New Kruchtev State]]. At first, their attack was strong, they took over Tornve and many mountanious regions. But then winter hit. The counteroffensive was described by a Verst survivor as "Fast and sharp". They mainly attacked at nigh tand in small numbers. The Verst army was pushed all the way back to Verst. By then Tornobyl joined the war and more reinforcements were coming from allied nations. The war went on like this for 47 years. Then they decided they would better just unite, lest lose anymore lives. ==== The East ==== Meanwhile, on the east (1530): The wast was dominated by a few warring nations, and a city state. Let's start with the city state. [[Torvne]] was a city state located on the south of Seseco. They were the business, trade and population hub for southern [[Seseco]] and basically the entirety of East South [[Seseco]] was under their influence. It is not known how the city actually begun but it is likely it was a few merges as it was (and still is) absolutely massive. They spoke a strange variation of the Mountain Tongue, Orsk. Because of this Orsk became the political language for everyone in South Seseco. Anyone of any importance spoke it fluently. Immediately north of [[Torvne]] was "The [[Holy States of Tornobyl]], birthplace of [[Helle, The One True God]]". [[Tornobyl]] usually referred to the region north of the Chyev Mountains, but it is worth noting that it's identity reached down to the ends of the Chkyiv Mountains. Tornobyl was made up of 8 states, usually all fighting each other. These were [[The Prysom Kingdom]], [[Holy Vekke]], [[Kvev State]], [[Frisya Kingdom]], [[People of the Chkyiv]], [[We, of N'Thrové]], [[Grand Duchy of Nethrov]] and the [[Hanner Kingdom]]. Unification of Tornobyl was very slow and very violent. Usually there was always one main state that controlled the majority of the land. In 1530 that was The Prysom Kingdom. They went on a rampage, attacking first the [[Kvev State]], then the [[People of the Chkyiv]] and all the other states soon followed. Their first flag has the religious worlds toward "Helle, The One True God" and also eight stars to represent the eight states. [[File:Tornobyl flag.png|thumb|Flag of Tornobyl, it is the same to this day|center]] ===== Deprivique ===== Deprivique was the region on the ''Deprivique Peninsula'' on the very southernmost point of East Seseco. They speak Devreb there, a very english sounding language. Deprivique natives originated from somewhere along the [[Vizantus Strait]]. They left their homeland of Dovranland due to a war with some neighboring power. We don't know how long ago this was, but best historians estimate that it was during the Post Flood era. [[File:0e5138d4-7ec9-4f38-9982-3b7a8d3af6d5.jpg|center|thumb|Mural in Petersport depicting the natives of Deprivique leaving their homeland circa 1198]]Deprivique was two kingdoms, the Grand Duchy of Hallem and the Kingdom of Leynes (now Petersport). They united in 748 to form the [[Deprivique Union]]. They were invaded by their neighbour, [[Letoque]] to the north ~912 during the [[Letoque Conquests]]. While they were independant not much notable happened. ===== Jenois ===== Today [[Jenois]] is a disputed canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] (Officially it is part of the canton [[Letoque Jenois]]) It does not have a very unique culture at all, they are basically just people from the Chkyiv Mountains who emmigrated west and met the Letoque people. Something that is notable about them is that they were hit incredibly hard during the Lacertiliitis. Almost three quarters of their population died, half of the remaining emmigrated. The city of Jenois was almost empty by 1900. They repopulated at very impressive rates, and today the region has a population of 1.4 Million. ===== Letoque ===== Letoque is and always was the dominant power in the West. The people of Letoque (Letiquain)'s origins are unknown but we think they came from the same place as the Tornoblites. The capital of Letoque is [[Saint Vennes]]. It is the second most populous canton in the [[Orsk Federation]] but has no city over one million in population. Over it's history Letoque has had a very unique take on land, similar to that of the Russian Empire. This encouraged people to spread out which is why they are significantly less dense than the other cantons. Letoque is home to Jenois, a disputed canton in it's east. Letoque lost land and was eventually destroyed in the [[Letoque Wars]] which lasted from 1610 - 1670 and main belligrents were the Verst Empire and Grand Duchy of Burges (GDB seceded from the Chkyeb Uniate in 1620). ==== Summary ==== South Seseco has had a history of civil wars, disease and violent wars, however it has also had times of prosperity. The "Seseco Golden Age" was the time from 1723 - 1803 both started and ended by war, but during which there was no fighting and instead inventions, discoveries and industrialisation. == The Tressene Wars: 1206-1229 == The Almighty Chiefdom of Tressene split in two after the Bi-Centennial Festival, in which the country realized it had literally 2 units of its currency left, and the older 50% of the population, sick of parties, launched an assault on the Treehouse Palace (honestly, who ''wouldn't'' have a palace in a treehouse?), and started the second Gusmoas Civil War. The native population jumped into the battle, which made it incredibly unclear exactly ''who'' was on what side, and what, exactly, they were fighting for. Eventually the lines of the conflict became clearer as the northwest section of the country called themselves the Party of the Party; the southern, coastal area named themselves Silencio (and built a bunch of factories as an In-Your-Face to the PotP); and the native conglomeration called themselves exactly that (The Gusmoas Conglomeration) and put spears covered in flags all over the former capital and glutted themselves on what was left of Tressene's resources. Needless to say, Silencio eventually won the conflict by simply having what historians call "more stuff." They became a world power within a decade and a half of their creation, and expanded all over Gusmoas, until several native groups confined them to the southeast and Croissant Island. Which was fine by them, because they needed to work on infrastructure. So ended Tressene, as well as the Gusmoan wars, for the next long while. == 1281-1301: Exactly Twenty Years of Peace == As Silencio settled down after the war, Marricopra and the CoN rebuilt while Odorslat focused on diplomatic outreach to the KoPWARToD. This created a very close alliance between the two that lasts to this day, if only culturally (even after the eventual dissolution of Odorslat). Marricopra decided to build up its armies, and finally sent some officials to Ustrusus to manage the situation down there. They found that the island had figured the Kingdom had abandoned them, basically declared independence, and were running themselves. Marricopra decided it was okay with this, and recognized Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet as its own nation, forming close ties with it and lending lots of financial support until this became impossible. Seseco continued to develop, expand, and have lots of civil wars during this time (see: South Seseco). The CoN worked on building its armies and put their side of Centrius under even heavier guard, which somehow didn't make Marricopra suspicious. However, the [[Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame]] of the South kept close watch on the "Lobster Kingdom," warning Marricopra just in time for the invasion. On Mocze, the Order struggled to rebuild after the Split, focusing more on its position as a cultural group than on their being religious fanatics. The Southern group called themselves the Ultra-Orthodox Order of the Everlasting Flame of the South, but they were the less arson-inclined group, and expanded their lands down to the coast, eventually settling there as it was much more habitable than the midland desert. In the North grew the [[The One and Only Everlasting Flame|Great and True Order of the Everlasting Flame]], which eventually took over the entire desert, building their hub around a large pit of fire, always tended by mysterious hooded figures with thick accents. Both factions blatantly ignored each other in hope of not beginning another war. This worked, but to the effect that neither sect recognized each other as ever belonging to the same religion. The North group openly allied with the CoN, and purely out of spite, the South allied with Marricopra. However, both prospered (relatively) during this time. This was the last extended period of worldwide peace for 600 years. == The Seventy-Three-And-A-Quarter Years War: 1301-1374 == For those of you who are too lazy to read: basically the three powers of the Centrius Basin were at war off and on for 73 (and a quarter!) years. This was the last major war of this type, and ended with the CoN regaining control of the islands (for now...). In the Centrius Islands, which had since World War Three been a spot of contention across Marricopra, the CoN, and even Ashmanschkra, tensions boiled over in late 1301 AY over the ownership of the southernmost isles (which Ashmanschkra claimed for itself), and all three nations laid waste to each other. Marricopra headed straight for the CoN capital, while the CoN overran all of Centrius within a day and a half. Ashmanschkra made landfall in Pryr and surrounded the city of Deppriona (in modern-day Altar). After half a year of this, all sides realized that this type of warfare was entirely unsustainable, and called a year-and-a-half ceasefire to build up their resources. In 1304 AY, Marricopra launched an assault on Centrius, and held and defended the island for ten years. The CoN was too busy rebuilding its capital for what was at least the third time, and so it was no difficulty for Marricopra to hold back the meager Ashmanschkri army, until 1314, when the CoN rejoined the battle, heading straight for the Marricopran capital. It was the worst destruction the area had seen since the Flood. Marricopra immediately moved backwards to defend their capital, and while the CoN-Marricopra conflict went on in what remained of the Valley of Pryoriya, Ashmanschkra took the islands. Marricopra eventually pushed back the CoN to the far East. The loss from this set of fighting sparked another ceasefire, this one lasting four and a half years. This truce was broken by the CoN, who made their first stab at Ashmanschkra. This time it was successful, and they officially owned the Ashmanschrki army (Sevdrolet refused to join this war. This created a rift in the country, but more on this later) for a time. However, the Army of Ashmanschkra the Inevitable refused to be owned by any other faction, and rebelled against the CoN generals, which put a slight dent in the CoN army, but mostly distracted them from the Marricopra 1326 invasion of Centrius. Marricopra owned the islands for another 5 years, in which the CoN ''and'' Ashmanschkra banded together (ironically) to shove them out, but the Marricopran army was so large they couldn't manage this until 1332, and then Ashmanschkra turned on the CoN, and they fought it out for a few years while Marricopra went back to rebuilding and making poisons from the lizards in the only national reserve, which was overhunted anyway. The longest ceasefire was from 1336-1343, after which Marricopra and the CoN simultaneously pulled support from the Order (both North and South). Ashmanschkra admitted defeat and decided to focus on its quickly worsening relations with the pacifist Sevdrolet. Once the Order got involved, almost everything within view was burned to the ground, Centrius became so inhabitable everyone wondered why they still fought over it, and King Vilassey of Marricopra died in battle, leaving no heirs but his niece, Nichra, who became the first Queen of Marricopra. She had little to no popular support, as she was a woman, but proved to be a brilliant strategist and brought Marricopra to an almost decisive victory at the Fourty-Fifth Battle of Great Nephrops Island, until the southern Order turned on them and Marricopra surrendered and shut its doors to the world. The CoN claimed Centrius, renamed it the Grand Lobster Islands, and the Order went home. In 1374, the Treaty of the Lobsterites was signed (grudgingly) by CoN general Parsley and Queen Nichra, who was at the very least lauded for her dignity in the face of such a crushing defeat. == The Fireplague Epidemic: 1406-1455 == The disease technically began spreading in 1402, but given the slowness of travel at the time, it didn't spread beyond the Great and True (Northern) Order until 1406. The One and Only Everlasting Flame apparently had microbes in them. Harmful ones. And after centuries of humans tending to the fire and its odd microbiome, they latched onto the Arch-Priests, and spread throughout the Mocze Desert's tent cities. It began with the Chief Arch-Priest, Bengellus, burning with a 106 degree fever. The next day, all four other Arch-Priests woke up with the same fever, and Bengellus broke out in hives said to burn "as if the Eternal Fire had itself showered its infernal sparks upon the skin." On the third day, Bengellus began vomiting blood. On the fourth, he died. The four remaining Arch-Priests all exhibited the same symptoms, but not within the same time frame. Hibriz died the day the boils appeared; Porops had a fever for a week and then got the boils and coughed blood (and died) all on the same day; Caprokcil only ever had boils, which lasted a week and a half and then he died with no warning; and Nezrel had a fever for two days, boils for a week and a half, and eventually recovered with only some light scarring. From Nezrel and the other four's caretakers, the disease spread across Mocze without warning and with no cure. Only a quarter of the Northern Order survives, and they start lighting fires in what is by then proto-Gondolinius, which spreads the disease through the southern Order like wildfire, and across the ocean to Marricopra via merchant ships. Marricopra gladly passes this on to the CoN and Ashmansckra via Altar (which has begun to rebel). All the guards on Great Nephrops Island die from the disease, but no one dares go replace them for fear of becoming infected themselves. Centrius goes unclaimed - it is during this time that Sevdrolet goes and unofficially names it the Central Archipelago, and the name sticks. The disease is sent north to Odorslat, but very few die as the cold climate cannot sustain the archaea-bacteria [''and yes, I'm basing the vaguely scientific nature of fireplague off of my 7th grade science class'']. What little of the disease can spread makes its way to Del Sacarmo/KoPWARToD, where it eventually dies out but destabilizes the colonial government enough for a complete overhaul, leaving the native [[Oralotzo|Oralians]] to kill the government and begin to rule themselves. After killing about a fifth of the Marricopran population (including the monarch, but they had a direct heir), more than half of Mocze, and a sixth of the rest of the world, the disease eventually dies down in 1455, as the population had naturally immunized itself, save for a few sparse outbreaks in remote areas. == The War of the Chicken Pie: 1507-1509 == ''Main Article: [[War of the Chicken Pie]]'' In 1507 AY, what remained of the KoPWARToD (a small scrap of land on Seseco; now Hakha Rakhine) held the First (and only) International Baking Competition, inviting famous bakers worldwide. Among them were Gondolinius's Oragor Mentaylis, who owned the World's Largest Bakery (and nobody dared fight him on that); Sevdrolet's Jimalangang Kobrob; and the KoPWARToD's Ercal Bogefayal, whose alliance was to the Rakhine rebellion brewing up north. Upon his winning the competition, the judges had no idea what country to award the top prize to, and so (as is, of course, usual) war was declared between the KoPWARToD and Hakha Rakhine. Marricopra threw themselves into the war, angry over the loss of Ashmanschkra and Centrius centuries before (and from getting last place in the competition), and led by Queen Ingelle "the Mad." They quickly drew out after the mysterious death of Ingelle and the ascension of King Billy Bob the Sixth, who gave the KoPWARToD several million dollars in reparations and an apology letter. What remained of the Northern Order finally wiped themselves out by throwing themselves and their disease-ridden bodies into the war. This ended with the Treaty of the Kitchen, the formation of Hakha Rakhine and the final dissolution of the Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, and the subsequent breakout of fireplague across Seseco. == The Second Fireplague Epidemic: 1509-1576 == The Seseco epidemic ended within a few months (see: the first fireplague epidemic and how that worked on Odorslat), but spread back south to Mocze via merchants from Santa Marino and then to Gondolinius, who sent diseased persons to Silencio and Marricopra out of spite (remember - they had their beginnings as religious fanatics). The two almost declared war in return, but then half of their armies fell ill and they decided otherwise. This epidemic went off and on for the next seventy years, with each breakout having epicenters in oddly diverse places, among them being the new Hakha Rakhine, the southernmost 2 blocks of a city in Odorslat, and Croissant Island. This epidemic ended with the Blizzard to End All Blizzards, which lasted exactly 3 days but was enough to kill the archaea-bacteria worldwide. The disease was confined to the We Hate Fire Quarantine Hospital, which was set up in the Mocze desert over the original site of the fire to ensure no one lighted it again. I would say there was peace from here on out, but there isn't, because this was when I remembered that tectonic plates were a thing. == The Split of Ashmanschkra and Sevdrolet: 1599 and a couple years after that == The large, desert-y island of Ashmanschkra-Sevdrolet, named after the two people groups that lived there, was situated on a fault line that became more precarious with each year after the Flood, until it finally broke apart during an earthquake and tsunami just south of the Central Archipelago, creating an event known as the Mini-Flood. The country officially became two (it had been threatening to become so for a while), with Ashmanschkra becoming the war peoples of the west, eagerly helping Altar break from Marricopra, though the Altarians themselves didn't care too much as Marricopra provided financial support. Sevdrolet was a nation of pacifists, and remained strictly neutral in all the Central Basin conflicts, though it formed close ties with the CoN. They became known for their art, and hated being invaded. However, seeing as they had no army, this happened over and over despite their declaring independence and creating more and more statues of famous Sevdroletis, which no one cared to take down as they actually looked quite good. The world began to be split over "do you support Ashmanschkra or Sevdrolet?" but as neither nation had the patience to fight the other, it all came to naught and everyone stopped caring, because the islands had moved into such a location to be perfect for beach vacations and millions flooded there. == The Economic Collapse of 1684 == After a little less than a century of relative-but-not-really peace, war in Skelmrelm completely demolished the economy of said country, bringing upon general economic collapse worldwide, as just about everyone depended on Skelmrelm for one reason or another. Does this name sound unfamiliar? Odorslat had, during this time, undergone yet another civil war that led to its renaming. The citizens were relieved that they were at least not called Knitted-Socks-ians. Skelmrelm during this time had moved past Marricopra in terms of GDP (and, in some areas, development) and become the new world epicenter, especially for the north. Gondolinius still considered Marricopra their main provider, however, and Silencio found the Kingdom easier to access. However, whatever petty disputes they had became unimportant in the face of total annihilation of all they'd worked for. However, with the discovery of oil deposits on Sevdrolet, the world economy slowly rebuilt as nations focused southward, and then back North after the Skelmrelm war ended. By 1690, the world economy had generally stabilized. == The 1775 Great Earthquake of Odorslat == This is why the mountains have two main ranges. However, though the epicenter of this was in the mountains, aftershocks were so strong in the capital (on that bay just south of them) that it was completely demolished. This created a political split over who should rule where and how they should rebuild, and effectively ended the Republic of Odorslat as it was known. War broke out over the ruins of Odorslat-Priyoria, ending with the Treaty of What's Left of Priyoriya that split the country in four: Skelmrelm, the Republic of Saldon, the Kingdom of the Remnant, and the [[Spire Realm]]. The Kingdom of the Remnant was basically a puppet state of both Saldon and Skelmrelm, but at different times, seeing as it was located on the ruins of Priyoriya and only populated by a few thousand, mostly scholars and archaeologists there to study and preserve what was left of the city. Odorslat once again was no longer a world power, and Silencio began to compete with Marricopra for the title of highest GDP, until the 1794 Marricopran Revolution (see: [[The We're Sick of King Salamandario Revolution]]), after which the country turned inward to sort out its own problems. By 1799, the world was caught in a precarious balance between Skelmrelm and Silencio, as they had no access to Marricopra's resources (except for Sevdrolet, which the Kingdom just couldn't ignore). This resulted in a slight dip in the economy ~1800, but it eventually stabilized as Silencio began to compensate, and finally Marricopra (which had at last rid itself of Altar) reentered the world, about half the size it had been before. == Lacertiliitis: 1837-1850 == The disease began among the thousands of lizard species found at Great Lacertilia National Park. Still no one knows exactly which species spread it to humans, but the story goes like this: shopowner Tylline Tortatolus and his family visited the park in Firbicus 1837, and three weeks after returning, his wife died. Within the next two days, both of his children complained of pain in their mouth, throat, and stomach. Two days later, they died. Tylline lasted long enough to tell his neighbors of the strange occurrence, and then died in the home of musician Vollus Senddarry. The disease spread from the Senddarry household across the small town of Markpinne. The disease made it via caravan to the capital, and spread quickly through the population there. Then-Queen Nichra III soon realized what was happening and enforced a quarantine in the northeast part of the city, but not before boats carrying timber - the country's main resource - had reached Saldon, Gondolinius, and Oralotzo, spreading the disease there too. Soon testing was performed in the King Jimmy Central Hospital, and it was found that the disease turned one's saliva to hydrochloric acid. Scientists worldwide set to work creating a vaccine, but the most they could do was prevent death, though not entirely. Certain anomalies were found in the poorer parts of the city, where most of the population had already gone through a bout of Lizard Pox, a non-fatal disease spread by the Greeg lizard. Those who had already had the Pox were naturally immune to the disease - named Lacertiliitis after the park where it originated - and so many were hired on as doctors or even merely recipients of tests. They were paid by the government for their trouble, and often hired and paid ridiculous amounts of money to take over positions unstaffed because of the epidemic. Throughout the rest of the world scientists worked aggressively on creating a vaccine, or, in the case of Ashmanschkra, spreading Lizard Pox to as many citizens as possible. Because of this, most of the population had a natural immunity to Lacertiliitis by 1848. It is considered one of the most effective public health initiatives to date. Saldon and Skelmrelm teamed up to create a semi-effective vaccine, which forced out the virus by the second day, often leaving people on the brink of death but at least alive. They took to spreading numbing shots among their population, which at least prevented the pain caused from the acidic saliva. The vaccine was spread with the Kingdom of the Remnant, which consented to being absorbed into Skelmrelm, but the Spire Realm told themselves they could "handle this." They were all dead in three weeks. Gondolinius learned to work with the disease, and the hot climate created its first mutation, spread by melted cells. This resulted in a burning sensation throughout the body, which the Southern Order (now a strong theo-political presence in the area) promoted as a religious experience, not knowing how deadly the disease was. Lacertiliitis and the "Fire of the Heavens" mutation spread even more rapidly throughout Gondolinius and eventually to the abandoned We Hate Fire Hospital, which still had the remains of fireplague all over it. The Imperialist Party of Gondolinius set up an initiative to promote the quarantining of sick individuals. The Southern Order fought back against this relentlessly, creating a split in the general population over whether or not the "Fire of the Heavens" phenomena was a religious experience or a serious medical condition. Those who considered it religious were eventually put in a mental hospital during the Second Apocalypse, and the rest ran away to the desert. That aside, the disease died out in the urban parts of Gondolinius, but thrived in the rural areas around the Fireplague hospital, which created it's own problem, but more on that later... In the CoN, where the disease was spread from Marricopra via Sevdrolet and the oilfield workers there, the disease also mutated, creating something similar to the "Fire of the Heavens" bacteria, but instead causing only the skin to burn and dry out. This version wasn't completely fatal, even though Lizard Pox wasn't prevalent among the CoN. It was thought that the melting of the cells in the unceasing heat lessened the effects, but the disease was eradicated in 1845 due to a spike in heat and a drought, and so was never able to be studied. By 1850, the disease had calmed down worldwide (except for Gondolinius, but that's next). == Lacertiliitis-Fireplague Meltdown: 1895-1901 == The worst pandemic known to mankind. It began in what was renamed the Great Imperial Quarantine Hospital in central Gondolinius (the site has once again been abandoned, and is no longer owned by the country), where the archaea-bacteria known as fireplague had lain dormant on all the abandoned tools, beds, and especially in the indent in the floor that had once been the One and Only Everlasting Flame. As Lacertiliitis patients flooded in, using all the infected equipment and lying in the fireplague-infested beds, the two diseases began to combine, resulting in the first case of what was known, rather creatively, as "Lacertiliitis-fireplague." The first recorded patient was Appap Nipzap, a dockworker, of southern Gondolinius. He first reported a 106-degree fever - the universal signal of fireplague - and the next day his skin turned red, and he was said to claim it "burned worse than the Fire of the Heavens" (a disease he had, at first, survived). Three days after first reporting a fever, the red receded, turning into small boils that bled. After five days he appeared to be recovering, until he reported the signifying mouth-esophagus-stomach pain that came with Lacertiliitis. After a week, he finally coughed up blood and died. The new mutation spread throughout the hospital faster than even the Fire of the Heavens, apparently being more contagious than any previous strain (spread via touch), leaving only two survivors - very pregnant women - who had a strange natural immunity. Lacertiliitis-fireplague spread slowly south and then trickled through the poorer, non-immune southern Gondolinius population. Before the Gondolinian government could figure out what was happening, thousands of carriers, sick, and healthy alike had boarded boats to Gusmoas and Oralotzo, one of the world's least populated areas. This mass exodus became the downfall of Imperial Gondolinius, but not quite yet. The sick aboard the Gusmoas-bound boats all died on the way, and only four remained and made it to land. They set fire to the boats they came on and as they incorporated themselves into the Silencian population, millions more died. The several dozens remaining declared themselves Gods and fled into the mountains, only to be discovered nearly a century later by the Orsk Federation. Silencio collapsed, utterly and completely, and the land became inhabitable, overrun by plants, weeds, and rabid animals. On Del Sacarmo, which was still dry and dusty from the sandstorms that plagued them almost a thousand years ago, received the refugees with open arms, only to kill three-quarters of the population. Only those in the North survived, quarantining themselves. The Orsk Federation received the disease via shipments from Santa Marino, and only went into lockdown after half of the population had been killed. Sometime during this the disease makes its way to Marricopra, where it kills King Jimmy the Nineteenth (and last), sending the Kingdom into upheaval. By 1896 the whole world is in lockdown, save for Odorslat, which can't sustain itself very well and goes to war. Saldon and Skelmrelm begin a decades-long war over the general control of Odorslat, which is slowly starving to death. Skelmrelm decides to send all of its scientists to the Central Archipelago, and other countries follow suit. The Shrine of the Great Star Lobster becomes a giant lab, with everyone working according to their own time zone schedule so work is always being done. In 1897 a vaccine is created by a team of Skelmish, Altarian, and Sevdroleti scientists. By 1901, the vaccine is distributed worldwide and rebuilding begins. Until the Second End of the World comes. == The Second Apocalypse: 1906 == For a land inhabited by a religious group whose only claim to fame was that they started fires incessantly, there was only one Fire War. There were 12 - exactly twelve, and three were children - members of the Northern Order left. They lived a little North of the We Hate Fire Hospital, in tents, and obsessively lit up random patches of desert. Every year they got more and more mad at the financial support lent to the Southern Order and those who defected from the North, until they were all positively boiling with anger and in 1906 set fire to the capital of Gondolinius. Gondolinius assumed it was Marricopra - as they were prone to do, after the Seventy-Three-and-A-Half-Years War - and declared war on the very weakened kingdom. And then it happened. The fires, as it turned out, were ''still'' full of fireplague - somehow - and within a week both Gondolinius and Marricopra had a full-fledged outbreak on their hands. Gondolinius gave Marricopra a half-hearted apology and then returned to declare war on the Northern Order. But there were only 12 in the Order, and Gondolinius was still angry and so turned on itself and the Southern Order allies in Marricopra. So began the Fire Wars, with the Southern Order lighting anything aflame that stood in their path. At one point, they appeared to be gaining the upper hand, but then half of them came down with the newest Lacertiliitis-fireplague mutation. Though much of the world was vaccinated, the vaccine only worked on the 1895 strain, and those who had had Lizard Pox previously only had a 3-in-5 chance of recovery. From Marricopra the new strain spread to Altar, then to Ashmanschkra. From Gondolinius it went to Gusmoas, Santa Marino, and then to Seseco. Nowhere was safe anymore: the heat couldn't melt the diseased cells, and the cold couldn't kill them. The Fire Wars became an absolute farce, with no real end to them after the Gondolinian Emperor died of the plague. The Order was considered once and for all extinct, though it was rumored that members were still strewn worldwide, lighting fires in secret. Altar was so crippled by the plague and war effort that they consented to being owned by Ashmanschkra for a time. However, the Ashmanschkran government finally collapsed, for once and for all, ruined by internal fighting and the overabundance of Greeg lizards. Sevdrolet was finally overrun by the CoN, but then they all got sick. Sevdrolet had no official government after they all died of the plague, and the CoN retreated into itself, eventually being renamed the HPN. The Odorslatian governments survived; however, both were severely weakened and broke out into a few civil wars that all ended in painful deaths for all parties involved. Gusmoas continued to have no contact with the outside world, becoming increasingly more superstitious and oddly religious, founding the Church of the Party People in the Trees. The Basilica of the Treehouse was built on the ruins of the Palace of Tressene. The mountain people built a massive temple to their founders, which is actually quite beautiful - adorned with intricate carvings, reflecting pools, and floating candles, etc - that still stands today. They call it the First Wonder of the Modern World, and honestly, who can dispute that? Seseco had... problems (see: South Seseco). Oralotzo was almost completely wiped out, but a few thousand survived. They decided to work on re-fertilizing their soil, and only had contact with Skelmrelm. And the Kingdom of Marricopra, ruled by King Bantramus II, finally collapsed. With that ended the world's Second Age, and in 1920, Skelmrelm declared that the Second Apocalypse was over. So began the Third Age. == Chapter One == Deep in the deserts of Skelmrelm-owned Mocze, there live the remnants of the once-great Order of the Everlasting Flame, a bizarre offshoot of the Fire Salamander branch of Lizardism (name subject to change). There are maybe a hundred of them, but already they have lit a new Fire, and created yet another tent city around it. There is no fireplague. Yet. As their community grows once again, archpriest Hprezar Rho begins a new tradition for this, his Order. He abhors the practice of random setting-things-aflame, and declares that all Fires must be lit only in specially designated sacred places. It being the New Year, Rho names today the day he will begin spreading his Fire around the world, and beginning his purge of the Unholy Fire. "Whoever you are, wherever you are, you cannot hide your Fire from us. The Order takes its job seriously, and by the end of next year, we will have rid the world of this desecration of that which is holy," Rho states in a letter sent to Skelmish officials. "We are coming for you, your family, and your cows. Expel the unrighteous flames from your community and lands. We come with the Holy Fire; you need only wait. Do not try to light it yourself. We will know."

Its official name is New Oralian Republic of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust. It was preceded by the [[Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust]]. {| class="wikitable" |+ !Country Name !Oralotzo |- |Capitol |[[Tsoje]] |- |Exonyms |[none yet] |- |Endonyms |Oralotzo, Tzojepa, |- |Endonym Meaning |"Great World", "Big Great Place" |- |Denomonym |Oralian |- |Ethnicities |Oralian, [[Eddenarans|Eddenaran]], |- |Religions |[[Oralian Spiritualism]], [[Christianity]] |- |Languages |Oralian |- |Population (1975) |2,678,050 |- |Currency |[[Coppalet]] |- |Time Zone |UTC +2 |- |Date Format |yy/dd/mm |- |Driving Side |Right |- |Abbreviation |ORL |} == History == === Before Oralotzo === ==== Non-Unified Tribes (before 1-992) ==== In ancient times, Oralotzo was ruled by many non-unified tribes in the nation's various counties. In fact, most of today's counties are still identified by the tribes border's. Many lived in small city states, which were walled-in cities ruled by various kings and queens. ==== Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust (992-1509) ==== ''Main Article: [[Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust]]'' The Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust, often abbreviated "KoPWARToD", was the first city state to unify all of [[Del Sacarmo]]. The nation was forced into expansion by various dust storms in their home city, [[Tsoje]], thus their name. They captured the city of [[Bogeva]] and there learned the secret to seafaring boats, therefore giving them the ability to conquer the rest of Del Sacarmo. They then spread to [[Seseco]], had some wars, and established ties with the [[Children of Nephrops]] and the people of [[Odorslat]]. The nation later fell in 1406 due to instability and the [[fireplague]], becoming one of the world's first representative democratic nations. However, the colony on [[Seseco]] later survived until the [[War of the Chicken Pie]]. === Early Oralotzo (1408-1920) === Early Oralotzo had little problems, for three centuries. However, they did support [[Hakha Rakhine]] in their independence war against the Kingdom in Seseco. ==== Lacertiliitis Pandemic (1838-1850) ==== Between 1838 and 1850, Oralotzo was somewhat hard hit by the Lacertiliitis pandemic. This is how much of the Edenarrahan population reached the area. In 1850, the pandemic ended and much returned to normal. Oralotzo also started the National Health Burea after this pandemic. ==== Second Lacertiliitis Pandemic and the Return of Fireplague (1897-1901) ==== For much of the early fireplague-Lacertiliitis pandemic, Oralotzo was majorly unaffected, due to it being mainly concentrated in [[Gondolinius]]. When two boats of refugees reached Oralotzo, they were greeted with open arms- however, much of the population died. Despite striking hard Oralotzo, the north area was largely ignored by the pandemic and a new cult of the spirit Laci became very popular and the nation became somehow immunized, ending the pandemic in the area. The cult of Laci stayed in power, and its leader, who changed his name to Lacitzo, was elected president in 1900 and was re-elected twice over the next coupe of years, finally ending his long term in 1923, with his death. ==== Second Apocalypse (1906-1950) ==== Oralotzo was very hard hit by the second apocalypse, leaving only about a thousand left. These thousand discovered that the fireplague in the pandemic could be used to re-fertilize the soil, and thus set to work. This continued even after Lacitzo's death, until 1950, when then-president Yatzo Laciya decided that they didn't need to care about it anymore. === Modern Times === Ever since, Oralotzo has been pretty much ignoring all wars and has been extremely peaceful. In 1973, Oralotzo announced plans to support the [[Homaric Pact Nations]] in their [[HPN-Eddenarah War|war against Eddenarah]]. They fought in the war until 1977, where they retreated their troops. == Geography == Oralotzo takes up the entirety of [[Del Sacarmo]]. Meanwhile, their colony of [[New Ehtje]] takes up the western area of New Ehtje, bordering [[Fictian Empire|Fictia']]<nowiki/>s colony to the south-east. All of Ortalor's territory is grassy, though some of it is somewhat cold. == Economy == Oralotzo's main exports are wood and oil. Oralotzo also produces a lot of gravel, however they choose not to sell it with foreign countries. Past trade deals have been [[Oralian Import of Timber from Chechnyoslovenia|with Chechnyoslovenia]] and [[HPN-Oralian Military Supply Agreement|with the Homaric Pact Nations]]. The official currency of Oralotzo is the [[Coppalet]].

He did not get much schooling, however in the three years of education he did receieve (1952-1955, from when he was nine to twelve) he learned and was inspired by the [[World History|Jimmy Rebellion]] and his ancestor, the infamous King [[Salamandario]]. == Adult Life == As an adult he did not get a job and instead led a life of the luxury he somehow got, apparently from a sunken ship off the coast of Western Eddenarah. In early 1973 he picked up the book [[Abrion Happlar: Or, A History of An Idiot]] from a book shop and read it thoroughly and in the end agreeing with the book. He developed his own theories about how the presidency had to be overthrown and replaced by a monarchy in order for order. His theories were well-loved by the [[Next Jimmy]] group, who soon hired him as their new leader. He then perpetrated the [[Next Jimmy Uprising]], starting it on July 23rd, 1973. === During the Next Jimmy Rebellion === ''Main Article: [[Next Jimmy Uprising]]'' During the Next Jimmy Uprising, James planned and carried out various protests. In 1973 he seized the [[Department of Sending Letters We'd Really Rather Not But Have to for Political Reasons]] and began to use it for sending letters to [[George VII]] and [[Abrion Happlar]]. He also announced candidacy for the [[Marricopran 1974 Presidential Election]]. In late 1973, just before the 1974 election, he decided to change strategies and pushed for descendants of or the actual former Marricopran nobles to run for various positions for the government. He himself announced candidacy for Speaker of the People, and was promptly booted out of the Next Jimmy. He also lost the election for Speaker of the House. === After the Next Jimmy Uprising === In 1977 he announced candidacy for the [[1978 Marricopran Presidential Election]].

They often use riots and allegedly assassinations to get their way. == History == === Founding === After the fall of the Marricopran monarchy in 1918 during [[World History#The Second Apocalypse: 1906|the Second Apocalypse]], with the death of [[Bantramus II]] due to [[lacertiliitis]]-[[Fireplague|fireplague,]]<nowiki/>many people in Eddenarah were worried about what was to become of the monarchy- all of Bantramus' descendants (his wife, [[Regine XXXIV]], and his two sons, [[Bantramus III]] and [[Jimmy XX]]). Many were happy when it was announced that a presidency would be instated instead, however some were disappointed, believing that Eddenarah could have no order unless the monarchy was back. === Assassination of Halabul Alar === In the wake of the first president of United Eddenarah, [[Halabul Alar]]'s, death, the Next Jimmy quickly took control. However it was not for long, as the Eddenaran army stormed into the Blank House in [[Machrannah Square]] and killed most of them. After this the group only appeared in a few blips on the news until 1973. === Next Jimmy Uprising === ''Main Article: [[Next Jimmy Uprising]] and [[James Nostrolqash]]'' In 1973, they hired then-activist James Nostrolqash as their leader. On July 23rd, he perpetrated a large riot in [[Machrannah Square]], which was calmed down by cops. The group worked quickly to take control of Eddenarah, this included raiding and taking control of the [[Department of Sending Letters We'd Really Rather Not But Have to for Political Reasons]]. However, in late 1973, James decided to run for Speaker of the People and encouraged descendants of former Marricopran nobles (as well as the former nobles themselves) to also run for the government. This was met with disgust by the group and they promptly kicked James out. After this the group quieted down again. == Notable Members == * [[Noirba Ingelle]], president and author of [[Abrion Happlar: Or, A History of An Idiot]] * [[James Nostrolqash]], former president and Eddenaran politician == Conspiracy Theory == Many conspiracies surround the group. The most predominant and widely-accepted theory is that they assassinated Halabul themselves. In 1953, they released an ultimatum stating, "We, the Secret Organization for Another Jimmy, will neither admit nor deny that we murdered Halabul Alar, former president of the cursed United Eddenarah."

He lived in [[Machrannah Square]] palace. == Adult Life == As an adult, he was established Head of the Bureau of Pig-Counting and Other Intentionally Boring Things by Ingelle, during the prime of her reign. He was mad at Ingelle because of this, however this wasn't enough to want to make him take drastic action. == Reign == In 1508, news reached Eddenarah that Ingelle was dead on the battlefield in the middle of the [[War of the Chicken Pie]]. Panic spread across Eddenarah. This was soon calmed by Billy Bob declaring himself the new king. To ease worries about the war, he decided to move Marricopra to the [[Kingdom of People Who Are Really Tired of Dust|Kingdom's]] side of the war, pay them several hundred thousand nocks. However, Billy Bob wasn't exactly concerned with the war, and he wasn't that made when he lost (no one was, actually). He spent a long and eventful reign on the throne until his death in 1550. == Legacy == Billy Bob is still known today for doing the right thing, at least in the eyes of the Eddenaran public, during the War of the Chicken Pie. He is also known for finally abolishing the BoPCaOIBT, though later rulers found it annoying that they could no longer banish officials and other people they disliked with a seemingly important title.

But then it happened- a new strain broke out and swept through Marricopra. The vaccines did not work on most people, including his family. Jimmy XX, at the age of only two, died and a worldwide mourning period was held- he was a very sweet child. In October 1909, Bantramus then was sent to travel to [[Altar]], which at the time was ruled by [[Ashmanschkra]], to get them to leave the nation. Bantramus failed but contracted lacertiliitis-fireplague while there. All thought him to be dead, but he was miraculously cured after one night having a hallucination (or a vision, depending on who you ask) of [[Machrannah]] visiting him. That was good an all, but two weeks later, on January 19th 1910, Bantramus I coughed up all of his blood and died. === As King === This left Bantramus to become king. He installed new quarantine laws. This slowed the plague, but didn't stop it. It crept into the royal family too- his mother, Legina III, died on March 26th, 1913. Regine then died on September 6th. Finally, Bantramus III was found dead, with blood all over him and three stabs in the neck, on August 18th, 1916. This was very sad news for Bantramus. He ordered a law of extreme quarantine and the only people allowed out were people with a new vaccine or the people who set up television and radio channels, which were basically the only thing anyone could do at the time. == Death == Bantramus himself finally died on January 3rd 1918. == Legacy == Bantramus II is, despite being the last king of Marricopra, widely celebrated for his great handling of the pandemic and for writing a handbook for Eddenaran leaders on stopping pandemics. He is also hated by the [[Next Jimmy]] group, as they blame him with the current democratic nation of United Eddenarah.

It's a refugee empire made of various groups who fled from [[Seseco]] during the Second Apocalypse to a place so cold and abandoned, they figured they'd be safe. Since things stabilized in 1920, this section of the ice cap was largely composed of various warring microstates until the arrival of the mysterious Time Traveler in 1973, who united the groups and turned them into Fictia. It is one of the founding states of the [[Great Universal Empire]] == Etymology == The Fictian Empire is derived from the name "Fictia", which is of completely unknown origin. The Time Traveler's suggestions (see history) are the reason the name became adopted for the new country. There is a possibility it is derived from [[Spire Realm|the Old Spirian]] word *pikshi "fake, false, mythical" though it is most likely not true. == History == === Origins === ==== Settlement ==== Most of the territory of the modern Fictian Empire has, for almost all of history, been an unpopulated ice shelf. This only began to change in the early 1900s, when the [[World History#The Second Apocalypse: 1906|Second Apocalypse]] caused chaos worldwide, including a collapse in many nations located on the continent of Seseco People fearing the destruction or with no place to go bought (or stole) boats and emigrated in droves, heading to the northern ice cap which the refugees figured was open land nearby, yet too insignificant for other nations to invade (or the infamous [[fireplague-lacertiliitis]] plague). This group struggled greatly to build shelters or obtain food on the tundra, and so only about 33% of the migrants are thought to have survived (or not fled) to settle. ==== War ==== In the 1920s, the settlers of the Septrontiland ice shelf had begun to unite with each other into numerous tiny nations best comparable to chiefdoms (largely due to the fact refugees from every nation on Seseco, and some from elsewhere, inhabited the area). For the next 50 years, there was continuous warfare between these unimportant chiefdoms which were ignored by literally the entire rest of the world. Some would be listed here, but the majority were failed raids and the complete history is so boring you'd likely fall asleep reading the first paragraph. === Foundation === This changed in 1973, when a mysterious figure in an extremely expensive and fancy coat appeared from nowhere and traveled between the weak chiefdoms. He visited each and every one and spoke at town meetings where he advocated for a new way of life. "Being so weak and divided is ungroovy!", he often said. "If this ice shelf unites under one country, it will be mighty and nothing can be groovier!" His arguments began to win over the chiefdoms, who agreed to cease fighting and unite under a state the mysterious time traveler (as everyone presumed from the decade-old slang) would set up. He had some extremely strange ideas: for maximum "grooviness", the nation would have to adopt a mysterious, otherworldly flag and the name of "Fictia" which was completely unheard of in the ice shelf. He insisted the identity would make the ice shelf the founder of a great and even universal empire. The new country took form as an absolute monarchy under a complex bureaucracy that incorporated many of the formal petty chiefdom rulers. The ruler, according to the Time Traveler, had to be named "George" according to some ancient universal law, so a random baker with that name was declared the 1st Fictian Emperor. But after all of this had occurred, the Time Traveler made a comment to himself about having made "a mistake in the wrong dimension" and disappeared without a trace. The Fictians didn't care about his vanishing though, and the new empire is determined to become powerful and fulfill the promises given to them. To secure some non-polar land, a small force was sent by ship to secure land in the newly-discovered [[New Ehtje]] (now Wyrdeland) region to the East, and there began building the imperial capital of [[Very Lengthy And Undescriptive-Named City]]. An Exarch elected by the residents of the Septrontiland ice shelf and approved by the Emperor in that region, making such distant rule a possibility. Things are looking bright for the new Empire, which is now seeking allies and vowing to "never give up, let down, run around, or desert" it's allies (lyrics from a song the Time Traveler insisted as national anthem). === Early History === Since Fictia had previously been made of pathetically weak chiefdoms, it had no military or infrastructure at its beginnings. It struggled along in this state for 2 years, but still decided to use its "power" to influence the [[Next Jimmy Uprising]] since [[Marricopra]] offered a trade alliance-advocating for a middle-of-the-road position incorporating the old aristocracy into a republic. Why the republic decided to ask a powerless absolute monarchy for assistance in staying a democracy is beyond the writer. Fictia also sent expeditions east in [[Wyrdeland]] that expanded the empire in its weak phase. Fictia also allied with [[Skelmrelm]] and the [[HPN]] at this point, and began to get its act together with infrastructure construction in 1975. In 1976, an agreement was reached between Fictia, the HPN, and Skelmrelm to create the [[Great Universal Empire]]-an idea that is thought to have been inspired by the same mysterious prophet who founded Fictia to begin with. Fictia legally became "The State of Fictia" with this change, but continued to go by the "Fictian Empire" internally-meaning there was technically an empire inside an empire. == Government == Fictia is an absolute monarchy, with [[George VII]] as the current emperor. The monarch can do anything he wants as long as it doesn't contradict existing law (this will likely become a problem...), and has direct control over the capital (which has an extremely long name) and the surrounding province of Tutus. Supporting his rule is a complex bureaucracy composing of yearly-elected local officials (for villages, towns, and city departments), imperial-appointed governors over each province (selected by the merit of local officials-or at first warring chiefs), and finally a group of ministers in charge of the imperial bureaus who are also chosen by merit. In distant territories, the emperor is expected to appoint an Exarch who serves as a civil and military governor of the territory, with effectively unlimited power unless the emperor or law contradicts him. Exarchs are to be selected by the population of the territory in an election and then approved by the emperor (who has complete veto power), but have no fixed term lengths until they die or resign. This makes it possible for foreign territories to have self-rule and respond to invasions themselves, and helps to keep down unrest/rebellions in the Empire. The original glacier territories on Septrontiland, divided into the provinces of Frigida and Calidum, are currently organized as the [[Exarchate of Septrontiland]] under the rule of [[Robert Magnus]], also originally a warring chief and the most successful of them. === Bureaus === Fictia's government is headed by the monarchy as described above. The monarch also has 7 bureaus established to take some governmental roles; they hold all powers the bureaus do but each can also make its own choices and is headed by a monarch-appointed head: * [[Bureau of People Who Love To Go Overseas And Talk With Foreign Leaders]]: Foreign Relations * Bureau of People Who Ensure That Every Fictian is Satisfied With Their Life: Infrastructure & Quality of Life * Bureau of People Who Do Research Behind-The-Scenes and Know All About World Affairs: [REDACTED] (but you can probably guess it's an intelligence agency) * Bureau of People Who Advance Technology and Improve the World for the Better: Technological & Business Management * Bureau of People Who Keep Fictia Safe From Any and All Foreign Threats: Military * Bureau of Funding: Exactly what it says because nobody likes taxes. * Bureau of People Who Are Bored and Just Need a Government Job For No Reason: Absolutely nothing. [[File:Septrontiland Map.png|thumb|Map of the Exarchate of Septrontiland and provinces, cities, and resources.]] [[File:Fictia-Wyrdeland Map.png|thumb|Map of Fictia at Wyrdeland, including provinces, cities, and resources.]] === Provinces === '''Core Fictia:''' * Google Translatia (capital) * South Weird Rice (a misunderstanding of Wyrde Rice) * Non Finis * Borogrivistan * Domum '''Exarchate of Septrontiland:''' * Aspera (regional seat) * Inanus * Frigida * Apicem Terrae == Religion & Culture == Fictia has a strange culture. Most of the nation is influenced by [[Christianity]], which despite being a religion founded on a foreign and unknown planet is believed by half of Fictians due to knowledge that the universe is vast and likely has many more living worlds-perhaps there's even another Fictia (or 2) out there somewhere that could explain why the first Emperor George was "George VII"... The national flag is even inspired by a semi-mythological empire from this unknown world called the "Roman Empire" which was supposedly one of the first Christian states out there. A notable impact of Christian influence on the empire was [[Nicholas Claus]], an eccentric man who claims to deliver presents to the entire world every Christmas as a way to brighten the holiday. There's also a large minority that believes in [[Coming of the Great Star Lobsterism]], which was caused by missionaries from the HPN who came to Fictia early in its history. Despite also coming from a strange and unknown world, Great Star Lobsterism isn't taken very seriously by most Fictians and largely exists due to its wacky festivals and ties to the Homaric Pact. Outside of religious influences, Fictia is very much influenced by its polar past-more so than the time spent by the empire's forefathers in various nations of Seseco. Especially in Septrontiland, Fictians are famous for their expertise at ice sculpturing (the governor's palace in [[North Pole]] is, in fact, a glorified igloo) and the nation's greatest delicacy is hot chocolate. Over in Wyrdeland however, where conditions are more tropical, Fictia borrows from Skelmish culture in large part as an adaption to the area-there were attempts to build the national capital out of ice but they ended in the city losing all of its buildings and flooding repeatedly which nobody enjoyed. There's also some influence left over from the Time Traveler in both portions of the Empire-the most common joyful exclamation in Fictia is "groovy!" == Economics == Fictia is extremely rich in oil and metal. However, the Empire lacks fish and many other important materials like gravel, which currently makes trading a necessity. The currency of Fictia is the [[nock]] for simplicity. == Foreign Relations == Fictia had a trade alliance with [[United Eddenarah]]. They also are allied with [[Skelmrelm]] and [[HPN]], which led up to the GUE's formation.

He lived in a pretty poor family and often did not have enough to eat. However, he was still very kind and shared with people, and hence was a victim of malnutrition from an early age. At age three his mother was killed by [[lacertiliitis]]-[[fireplague]]. At age five their house burned down. Then matters became worse when, in 1906, the [[World History#The Second Apocalypse: 1906|Second Apocalypse]] hit, killing millions as well as his father in 1907. The ten-year-old Halabul had to take care of his younger brothers- Rufus and Billy - as well as his younger sister, Lily. Rufus and Billy died (Rufus in 1909 at age eleven and Billy in 1911 at age fourteen), but Lily survived past the pandemic. == Adult Life == In 1915, at the age of eighteen, he and Lily moved into a new home three blocks down from Machrannah Square. Halabul found money by overseeing the hospital on Machrannah Square. In 1918, he lost his job due to a mini-depression in the city due to the death of [[Bantramus II]], sending the nation into disarray. Two months later however, [[Eeb the Younger]] announced his new plan for democracy in Eddenarah, and the people rejoiced. Halabul got in the election quite by accident- the name of a certain "Habalu Amar" was misspelled until a news-reporter called him on a telephone three days later. He won the election by a sweeping fifty-seven thousand votes. === Term as President === As president he led an extremely stable term. In his first term he did good distributing vaccines throughout the nation as well as into [[Altar]]. He was re-elected in 1924, and then he promptly began getting the Ashmanschkrans out of Altar. However, this was not finished due to his assassination. == Death == On June 5th 1924, at the age of twenty-seven, Halabul was shot in the head by a man who was only known to the press as "[[William Wellington]]" due to his [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wellington_boot Wellington boots] that had the name tag "William" on them. Whether or not his actual name is William, why he murdered Halabul, or why he was wearing Wellington boots on the hottest day of the year Eddenarah had had in thirty years is unknown. Many believe he was killed by a member of the [[Next Jimmy]] group. His death was mourned but Eddenarah moved on.

[[1975 Orsk National Plowing Championships|It started]] in 1975. == History == === Beginning === The crisis began in the 1975 Orsk National Plowing Championships due to a shooting. While the information was originally withheld from the public, it was later revealed that the shooting was perpetrated by [[Vizantia Republik]], and other shootings occurred soon after in [[Letoque Jenois]], [[Deprivique]], and some areas of [[Tornobyl]]. Apparently, the VR tries to eradicate [[Sesecan Catholicism]] from eastern [[Seseco]], which was previously [[Vizantian Catholicism|Vizantian Catholic]]. === After the Plowing Championships === The conflict became more intense in the months that followed as more shootings occurred and many revolts broke at across [[Letoque Jenois]] canton. Farmers stopped working to protest and because of this, famine swept through the canton. The government erected walls around [[Petersport]] and it was kept safe from the rebellion. === Orsk Federation Strikes Back === The Orsk Federation military began, against orders, executing Vizantian officials, and a total of fifty were killed in a period of ten days. They were kept in [[Grand Junction Prison]] until their execution. The government of the Federation tried to stop this but were unable to. Among those killed was Very Reverend [[Phillip Maine]]- an immigrant from [[Santa Marino]] who came to teach for the [[Vallinic Schools for Young Men]] programme in [[Kauter]]. Previously most people hated this, but this made things much worse. === Apparent End of the Crisis === After these executions, however, the crisis basically ended and not much was heard of about it again.

In 1972, Chechnyoslovenia let the [[Homaric Pact Nations]] establish a military base on the country for 15 years in exchange for 50,000 AK-47s. However, this deal broke down early in 1978 due to arguments about whether the port territory was soverign HPN territory. == Geography == The country is relatively small, but does have a [[Chechnyoslovenian Suland|colony on Suland]], and used to have [[Chechnyoslovenian Latvia|Latvia]] as a colony, but the Latvians rebelled in the [[Latvian Rebellion of 1653]] and became [[New Latvia]]. The eastern part of the country is a dense, lightly inhabited forest, and it shares a gravel area with [[Worsh]].

During [[State of the Federation|Emergency Times]], the DFOF can mobilise the [[Orsk Army]], a branch of the DFOF. All DFOF soldiers are capable of being deployed to the army, however in the federations lifetime it has not yet had to mobilise. The DFOF has mandatory conscription between the ages of 18 and 20. General population above age 21 can be mobilised to the army during [[State of the Federation|Emergency Times]], however unless they officially join they are not members of the DFOF. === Army === See: [[Orsk Army]] ~ 1 million people are recruited to the DFOF, mostly housed in Jenois. We welcome new tank divisions (3) an attack helicopter unit and 2 armoured car divisions. 250k 47's had to be mass produced, 50k M14s 30k Remingtons, 200k M60s and the rest are unarmed for now. These soldiers are in the DFOF Special Arms Unit specialised in quick mobilisation from DFOF to Orsk Army.

George is a common name in Fictia, especially due to the [[Georgian Law]] which makes it the exclusive imperial name. The VII could be a family numeral, but many maintain it was ordained by the Time Traveler of Fictia as a successor from another world. Basileus means "king", but apparently was used as a family name before George VII was born or his family was in [[Septrontiland]]-its origins (and if George is descended from another country's royal line) is unknown. == Reign == George was ordained emperor of Fictia after the appearance of the Time Traveler of Fictia. Before becoming emperor, he had been a common baker from [[Frigus Portus]], and with it the original batch of Sesecan refugees, who was known for his high-quality goods. It's said that when the Time Traveler's story was accepted in the city, the first place in the Empire to have done so, the Time Traveler demanded that George was "the grooviest name" a Fictian emperor could have, and bee-lined to the bakery to nominate George as the first emperor, which was oddly enough enthusiastically accepted by the populace. After the Time Traveler united Fictia and then vanished, George VII led the Fictian conquest of southwestern [[Wyrdeland]] almost immediately in order to find more hospitable land to build an imperial capital and heartland on. George VII was also responsible for the failed attempt to build a capital out of igloos, before initiating the construction of [[Very Long and Undescriptive-Named City]]. This relocation of central government is also how the [[Exarchate of Septrontiland]] was established. George VII intervened personally in the [[Next Jimmy Uprising]], when [[James Nostrolqash]] personally appealed to him for support due to the democratic government's request for assistance. George walked a tightrope between the two groups, advocating for the existing democratic government to remain but supporting the idea of former nobles of [[Machrannah]] being able to run in elections.

The Mava, despite having one name, is actually three people working together to control the three branches of the gang- Fighting, Strategics, and Weapon-Crafting. == History == === Early History === No one really knows who founded the Mava Federation. Many believe it was created by the legendary figure Alexander Mava. According to legend, he was a general in the Orsk Federation, until he was wounded fatally in battle in 1883. He supposedly cursed the Orsk military for failing him and secretly consulted three figures, known only as the "Three Heads" which were crime leaders at the time to start a group of bandits which would be an adversary to the Orsk Federation for all time. This is very unlikely because the group was first spotted ransacking villages in [[Letoque]] Canton in 1915, thirty-two years after the supposed founding of the group (also, Alexander Mava is not known to be a real person). === Bandit Wars (1920-1940) === In the 1920s-1940s, in what was known as the Bandit Wars, many groups of bandits rose up to plunder various villages. It was started by the group in [[Nethrov]], where they plundered half the city shouting "Long Live Mava!" before being driven back by local police forces. This caused increased national awareness about the bandits and many bandits rose up to begin fighting. An estimated two million nocks worth of goods were lost to the bandits. The UFM was the lead of this until the Battle of North [[Lehaska]] in 1933, where the group fought against many other teamed-up bandit groups (including some from [[Chkyeb]] and [[Norreik]]). The battle was going in their favour until the second afternoon. In the night the Orsk military joined in and ended up defeating all of the bandits. Then-Mava Joseph Someant signed a treaty with the Orsk Federation to never again interfere with the military. Up to this time however, they had killed [[Franz Clemente]], a major Orsk general. == Modern Day == Since then, however, they seem to have gone back on their word. They still pillage towns to this day, but they are far less active then they were in the past.

It was just at the end of the Second Apocalypse and his father had already been killed by the disease. As a child Volodomir was just a normal child until one day when he was twelve where a group of ten bandits attacked the farms nearby. Fearing he was next, Volodomir bought a sword from a local store. When the bandits came to attack his farm, he supposedly killed the bandits, however no one else except himself was there to see it. Anyhow, Volodomir became a local hero. == Adult Life == === Hiring into the Army === While Volodomir was expected to take over the family business, at the age of twenty-one at a general store nearby he was met by General [[Franz Clemente]], who had heard about his heroism and hired him for the [[Orsk Army]]. === Path to Prime Minister === In his time in the military Volodomir was the key to winning various battles in the [[Un Federaquion Mava|Bandit Wars]], and received many rewards. Eventually though, at the end of the Bandit Wars in 1940, he was extremely wounded in battle by a blow and a shot to both his arms and retired from the military. He stayed in the hospital recuperating for the next five months until he felt better. He turned down Franz's offer to go back into the military and he moved back to his farm south of Zesant. But all that changed in 1949, when bandits (the Mava Federation yet again) attacked his farm and ended up harming his brother and scaring his mother half to death. Volodomir single-handedly captured the bandits and brought them to the local sheriff, and he got into nation-wide news. Then three months later, Alexander Kauter-Kalonip (then-leader of the Kravem! party) asked him to become a politician in the party. Volodomir agreed and was elected Minister of Transportation. He kept that position, pleasing almost every bus-driver and train-commuter in the Orsk Federation until 1965, where he ran and won against [[Jodav Sovanye]] to become Minister of Foreign Affairs. In 1968, he was elected leader of the Kravem! Party and promptly (two years later) was elected Prime Minister of the Orsk Federation. === As Prime Minister === Volodomir is doing a good job as Prime Minister right now.

As a child Volodomir was just a normal child until one day when he was twelve where a group of ten bandits attacked the farms nearby. Fearing he was next, Volodomir bought a sword from a local store. When the bandits came to attack his farm, he supposedly killed the bandits, however no one else except himself was there to see it. Anyhow, Volodomir became a local hero. == Adult Life == === Hiring into the Army === While Volodomir was expected to take over the family business, at the age of twenty-one at a general store nearby he was met by General [[Franz Clemente]], who had heard about his heroism and hired him for the [[Orsk Army]]. === Path to Prime Minister === In his time in the military Volodomir was the key to winning various battles in the [[Un Federaquion Mava|Bandit Wars]], and received many rewards. Eventually though, at the end of the Bandit Wars in 1940, he was extremely wounded in battle by a blow and a shot to both his arms and retired from the military. He stayed in the hospital recuperating for the next five months until he felt better. He turned down Franz's offer to go back into the military and he moved back to his farm south of Zesant. But all that changed in 1949, when bandits (the Mava Federation yet again) attacked his farm and ended up harming his brother and scaring his mother half to death. Volodomir single-handedly captured the bandits and brought them to the local sheriff, and he got into nation-wide news. Then three months later, Alexander Kauter-Kalonip (then-leader of the Kravem! party) asked him to become a politician in the party. Volodomir agreed and was elected Minister of Transportation. He kept that position, pleasing almost every bus-driver and train-commuter in the Orsk Federation until 1965, where he ran and won against [[Jodav Sovanye]] to become Minister of Foreign Affairs. In 1968, he was elected leader of the Kravem! Party and promptly (two years later) was elected Prime Minister of the Orsk Federation. === As Prime Minister === Volodomir is doing a good job as Prime Minister right now. He hasn't really been doing anything though which is why this section is so short. == Death == Volodomir was found dead on January the First, 1979 in his office.

It also had a colony on [[Septrontiland]] and [[Mocze]]. It bordered [[Skelmrelm]] to the north and its colony on Septrontiland bordered [[Hakha Rakhine]] & Skelmrelm to the south. Meanwhile, its colony on Mocze bordered Skelmrelm to the south and [[Santa Marino]] to the north. == History == === Early History === The nation was founded in 1775 after the Great Earthquake of [[Odorslat]] split up its predecessor, Odorslat. It also somewhat owned the [[Kingdom of Remnant]], which was a puppet state for both Saldon and Skelmrelm. === Lacertiliitis === The nation was hard hit by the Lacertiliitis, and was infected by 1840. In 1849, the nation teamed up with Skelmrelm to develop a vaccine. The vaccine was used all over Odorslat. The vaccine did not work, however, it managed to calm down the pandemic and it ended in 1850. Also, unrelatedly, in 1850 the former puppet state of the Remnant was absorbed by Skelmrelm. === War for Odorslat (a.k.a. the Lacertiliitis-Fireplague Meltdown) === In the Lacertiliitis-Fireplague Meltdown between 1895 and 1901, Odorslat somehow avoided being contaminated by the pandemic and instead Saldon went to war with Skelmrelm about control over the continent. The war did not create much change, and ended by 1923. The war was extremely unpopular from the beginning, as Odorslat, losing its contact with the outside world, was slowly starving and Skelmrelm became more interested with other affairs. === Second Apocalypse === Saldon was hit by the Second Apocalypse, though nothing really major happened and not much of the population died. === Modern Day === In the modern day, after Skelmrelm's colonization of central Mocze, Saldon also began colonizing areas- one on an island chain in Septrontiland, and another south of Santa Marino in Mocze. However, they were mainly neutral in the [[Mocze Civil War]]. === Absorbation by Skelmrelm === In 1975, Skelmrelm absorbed the Saldonish homelands. In 1978, they made a deal and agreed to give all of Saldon's territories to Skelmrelm, effectively ending Saldon. == Economy == Saldon's major (and only) export is wood.

Eventually though, at the end of the Bandit Wars in 1940, he was extremely wounded in battle by a blow and a shot to both his arms and retired from the military. He stayed in the hospital recuperating for the next five months until he felt better. He turned down Franz's offer to go back into the military and he moved back to his farm south of Zesant.

Volodomir single-handedly captured the bandits and brought them to the local sheriff, and he got into nation-wide news. Then three months later, Alexander Kauter-Kalonip (then-leader of the Kravem! party) asked him to become a politician in the party. Volodomir agreed and was elected Minister of Transportation. He kept that position, pleasing almost every bus-driver and train-commuter in the Orsk Federation until 1965, where he ran and won against [[Jodav Sovanye]] to become Minister of Foreign Affairs. In 1968, he was elected leader of the Kravem!

Skelmrelm is the only nation currently inhabiting Odorslat. Skelmrelm is a [[Constitutional Monarchy]], and has a population of 47,222,418 people. It has 8 cities. It was one of the founding nations of the [[Great Universal Empire]]. == History == Skelmrelm was a product of [[The Flood]]. Before it was called Skelmrelm, it was called Locfortis, meaning Place for the Strong in Old Skelmish. Locfortis was what it meant; a place for the strong. With the path being cleared for nations to start their rise, Locfortis was one of the first to do so. They were a simple and kind people; simply wanting to settle down and come together to prevent future disasters from destroying them completely. They had established cities in Odorslat, [[Mocze]], and [[Seseco]]. However, in Mocze, 1406, a problem arised. A scientist, trying to find the secret to immortality, discovered a disease (see note). This disease, called [[Fireplague]], caused fever, boils, coughing blood, and death. The doctor tried making a cure, but got infected. The disease spread like wildfire; soon, the city of [[Vredestad]] was gone to the masses of infected dead bodies. Northern Locfortis was not very hard hit by the [[fireplague]] [[World History#The Fireplague Epidemic: 1406-1455|epidemic]] due to being far north and the archae-bacteria of the virus dying before it could infect people. Thus, Locfortis ignored the plague going on in [[Mocze]], [[Eddenarah]], and other areas. Many years later, in 1683, the economy was great. Trade was bustling, and they were the main market for goods such as timber, food, and minerals. However, a terrorist attack done on the city of [[Liefde]] destroyed many trade centers. The terrorist attack led to thousands of homes being destroyed, and Liefde became a ghost town. This brought down the economy so much, in 1684, the economy collapsed. Many people lived in poverty. Since so many nations depended on Locfortis for so much, they too reached an economic low. This lasted for 4 years. After the economy slowly recovered, another grave disaster hit the nation. They had full control over the nation of Odorslat; it was where they originally came from, and it was where their capital was located. However, in 1775, a huge earthquake caused the republic to collapse, causing the nation to split into several others. One of the nations was [[Saldon]]. Through this earthquake, a man named [[Skelm Relm the First|Skelm Relm]] stood up to help his fellow citizens and his nation recover. His efforts were not in vain, and they helped a lot to make the country return to it's former glory. For his accomplishments and his actions towards saving Locfortis, he was crowned the king of Locfortis. He decided to rename Locfortis in his honour, as Skelmrelm. And, from this day forth, he was officially known as Skelm Relm the First. Statues and memorials were built to commemorate his achievements after his death in 1791. His death caused a lot of panic; however, his only child, [[Skelm Relm the 2nd]], managed to help the country recover. And, henceforth, all descendants of Skelm Relm the First are numbered. In 1837, a disease called [[Lacertiliitis]] had popped up. Skelmrelm teamed up with [[Saldon]] in 1849 and succeeded in creating a vaccine, which (barely) worked. Then, [[lacertiliitis-fireplague]] came along. Every Skelmish scientist banded together with scientists from other nations to find a cure to it, and every nation went into lockdown. The pandemic disappeared briefly, before reappearing for the Second Apocalypse. This caused another economic collapse in Skelmrelm. It lasted until the virus basically went away and Skelmrelm declared the world safe, in 1920 AY. In 1971, due to a believed lack of civilian care, a rebellion happened in the Mocze colonies of Skelmrelm. A little while later, Skelmrelm fixed this lack of civilian care and offered a treaty. This divided the rebels into two groups; Pro-Treaty, and Anti-Treaty. The Pro-Treaty side wanted to accept the treaty and stay a part of Skelmrelm, while Anti-Treaty wanted the opposite and wanted to be a soverign nation. This was the start of what is known as the [[Mocze Civil War]]. Although the Anti-Treaty side surrendered, it is yet to come to a conclusion. In 1975, Skelmrelm made a deal with Hakha Rakhine to give their land to Skelmrelm, as part of their plan to reunite the continent of Odorslat. They have also made an offer to Saldon for their land. This offer was accepted, and Skelmrelm successfully reunited the entirety of Odorslat. Skelmrelm has also teamed up with [[Oralotzo]] for building rockets to the moon and other space-related stuff. In 1976, Skelmrelm founded the [[Great Universal Empire]], a union with its allies of the [[HPN]] and [[Fictia]]. Soon after, [[Skelm Relm the 53rd|Skelm Relm LIII]] was assasinated and his son, [[Skelm Relm the 54th|Skelm Relm LIV]], became king. In 1978, Saldon gave up all of their territory to Skelmrelm, increasing their power. == Cities == # [[Skelm]]. This is the capital city of Skelmrelm. Skelm means "sneaky" or "sly" in Afrikaans. # [[Veiligheid]]. This city is in the center of Skelmrelm, and is the place with the most Skelmish culture. # [[Militerestad]]. This city is on the coast. It contains the most military presence out of every city. # [[Kusstad]]. This city is on a peninsula. # [[Seestad]]. This city is also on a peninsula. # [[Randstad]]. This city is near the border. # [[Grensbeskermind]]. This city is near the border. # [[Grensstad]]. This city is near the border. == Military == Skelmish Military Service is optional, but has many benefits. To name a few, you get twice the nocks a high-end job gets you (and a scholarship if you're entering college), great food, bragging rights, and a medal. There are 3 branches of the military. === Hoofbeskermers === These are the primary forces of Skelmrelm. They help defend the country against any external threats. This includes marine threats, naval attacks, nuclear force, invasion, etc. Other branches may come to assist this branch in times of desperation, such as the threat of total annihalation. They are referred to as Hoofs. === Spioenasiemagte === These are the secondary forces of Skelmrelm; they are in charge of infiltrating other countries, finding intelligence, and taking down enemy countries from the outside. They are also in charge of attacking a country; being on the offense, in other words. They are referred to as Spioenes. === Beskermvriend === These are the tertiary forces of Skelmrelm; rather than attacking on behalf of Skelmrelm, they attack to protect other countries (allies). They are stationed in various Skelmish bases around the world. They are referred to as Beskers. Additionally, there's a top-secret branch of the military. === Nemo Relictus === Nemo Relictus ([[Old Skelmish]] for Leave Nobody Alive, often times shortened to Nemorectus by members of the government, is a top-secret branch of the military that has an extremely limited number of soldiers. It is comprised of 10 of the world's deadliest assassins. Their motto is "Qui non sequuntur, moriuntur.", which is Old Skelmish for "Those who do not follow, die.". == Language == Skelmrelm speaks [[Skelmish]], a combination of Afrikaans, German, and a tiny bit of Spanish. It is 89% Afrikaans, 19% German, and 1% Spanish. Dit is Skelmish in aktion. Dit word soos Duits ausgesprochen. Some words change based on whether it's using a feminine or mascsuline tone. For example, talking about his hourglass would be "el Sanduhr", while talking about her hourglass would be "la uurglas". Pronounciation is German. == Agencies == * SPA (Skelmrelm Protection Agency) * SSAA (Skelmrelm Scientific Advancement Agency) * SIA (Skelmrelm Intelligence Agency) * SAD (Skelmish Air Defense) * BSS (Bureau of Skelmish Safety) * DPA (Disease Protection Agency) * SSDA (Skelmrelm Sea Defense Agency) * AACC (Agency of Allied Communication and Correspondence) * ECA (External Communication Agency) * SAS (Space Agency of Skelmrelm) == Famous Landmarks == * Institute of Mocze Research * Skelm Relm the First Burial Site * Abandoned Hospital ==Note== While the Skelmish say that this is the origin of fireplague, others state that it arose naturally from the fires of [[The One and Only Everlasting Flame]]. Whichever is true is still under debate. It is possible that the scientist's microbes slipped into the fires.

He was 45 years old at the time of his death. == History == Skelm Relm the 53rd was born in 1930 to [[Skelm Relm the 52nd]] and [[Lady Initia]]. Not much is known about his childhood, as he was heavily sheltered as a child. However, when he became 20, his father died, and he became the new leader of Skelmrelm. His goal was to atone for his nation's sins against other nations; and he wanted to start with Saldon. For many years, he focused on retaining great relations with [[Saldon]] and eventually achieved this goal in 1970. He also became friends with the leaders of the [[HPN]] and also became allies with [[Fictia]]. He also was the leader during the [[Mocze Civil War]]. He was the leader during the formation of the [[Great Universal Empire]]. In 1976, he was assassinated by someone who disliked the formation of the GUE. == Legacy == His son, Skelm Relm the 54th, became the new ruler after his death. A memorial was dedicated to him, detailing him as one of the best Skelmish leaders to ever live. His death sent many around the country into grieving.

The main political parties are: {| class="wikitable" |+ !Party !Political Allignment !Leader !HQ |- |The Nation People's Party |Social Democracy |Seán Callaghan |[[Cobh]], [[Cobh Province]] |- |The Rural Party |Centrism |Mossy Kehoe |Cléire, [[Eanach]] |- |The Communist Party |Communism |Pádraig O' Connell |[[Cobh]], [[Cobh Province]] |- |An Cóisir Do Mhórcheantar Chorcaí |Nationalism |Maire O' Donnel |Breáscéal, [[Breáscéal Province]] |- |The Party for Property and Buisness |Capitalism |Seamus Leehy |[[Cobh]], [[Cobh Province]] |- |The Internationale |Liberal Socialism |Winston Ingram |[[Cobh]], [[Cobh Province]] |} == Economics == Businesses are encouraged to start up, however there are many restrictions on businesses, particularly big ones, and any business that is deemed to powerful over it's consumers is likely to be split up by the government.

It continued to rule Santa Marino until its invasion by Verst. After Vallina lost control, the cities of [[Jensos]] and [[Los Chantos]] split off, with Los Chantos becoming the center of trade in early Mocze. [[File:SM cities.png|thumb|A map of the Santa Marino, showing all three major cities and their 1970 populations.]] === Verst Rule === Santa Marino was a colony of the [[Verst Empire]] founded in 1803, however, it quickly evolved its own culture that was a mix with that of Verst and that of the native culture. It was under Verst rule for quite a while. === Orsk Rule === In 1921 it became a colony of [[Tornobyl]]. Later, after the founding of the [[Orsk Federation]] in 1950, it was released and became its own nation. === Second Golden Age === After its release from Tornobyl, Santa Marino is currently living its golden age, with peace and prosperity. == Geography == Santa Marino has three major cities- Vallina, Jensos, and Los Chantos. == Flag == [[File:Flag of Santa Marino.png|thumb|The flag of Santa Marino.]] The flag of Santa Marino is a tricolor, using the traditional flag of Vallina. On the top left corner is the flag of the Orsk Federation in red. [[Category: Countries]] 5b87755f7a32afea97f824becf2b8faf95b0e1ef
